The children used a mix of shaving foam and paint in the builders tray. They explored how it felt and what happened when they mixed it together.
Our builders have also been very busy!
Our mud kitchen cafe has had lots of orders.
Everybody wanted a picnic!
We have also been busy in the water.
We have also found lots conkers to use in nursery.
It’s great to be back!
The children explored the tap tap boards to develop their fine motor skills. We used small 2D shapes to make patterns on our boards.
At forest school we found frogs in the pond! We got 2 big frogs out and put them in a box. One of the frogs had only one foot! We watched them jump back into the pond as we counted along to 10 and chanted jump, jump, jump and the frogs did jump making a huge splash!
Huge thank you to all the children that joined in with our Easter egg competition this year.
They were all fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed looking at them.
The chicks are here! The chicks are here!
We have had a brilliant 2 weeks watching the chicks hatch and grow.
We received 10 eggs and numbered them 1 to 10. The children all chose which egg they thought would hatch first.
The children helped feed the chicks and even got to hold them! We watched them grow bigger and flap/walk around. They were full of lots of energy!
The children also identified which chicks were girls and which were boys and helped feed them each day.
With spring finally here we started to talk about the changes occurring outside.
The children noticed flowers growing in the yard and on the bushes, particularly daffodils. We explored painting with water colours and painted our own spring flowers.
At forest school we explored making prints, using mud and water to make a mixture. The children used brushes and their feet to make different prints on the ground, on paper and even on the fences!
To end our lovely week we had some time on the back field with ribbons that we used as kites. The children enjoyed running up and down watching them flicker in the air.
WORLD BOOK DAY in Green group!
How fantastic do all the children look in their costumes!
The children all shared what they were dressed up as and what books they are enjoying at the moment.
BIRTHDAY PARTY DAY!
This is what our monthly birthday party looks like!
Lots of dancing, smiles, games and treats! All the children join in to celebrate the birthdays that month and have such a great time.
So much fun even the teachers join in!!
Each child always wins a prize and we end the session with a yummy party tea in our group rooms.
We have been fortunate to have so much snow this week!
It’s been exciting to explore outside.
The children noticed and identified all the changes that have occurred due to the weather.
We found the frog pond frozen almost solid around the edges and frosty in the middle. The fairy houses were covered in more snow!
We all worked together to make Frank the snowman! The children used wheel barrows and spades to scoop up snow for Mrs Uddin and the children to make Frank.
Kung Hei Fat Choi
Happy Chinese New year!
We learnt about the year of the Ox and explored different events that occur on this day.
We watched dragon dancing and made our own giant dragon! As a group we played music using the different instruments while some children danced around with the dragon.
We explored writing some Chinese letters and made cards that said Happy new year. We also explored developing our fine motor skills using chopsticks and tweezers to sort small objects like pom poms.
This week we enjoyed a glorious snowfall at forest school!
The children were super excited to go and explore. We made footprints in the snow on the back field and some children picked up the snow and described how cold it felt.
As we walked around the forest we noticed different sized icicles dripping from above.
There was snow everywhere! Even on top of all the fairy houses.
We even lay on the ground to make snow angels!
Later we went inside our brand new forest school shed to warm up, reflect and have some yummy hot chocolate.
