Christmas 2022

11th January 2023Mrs J Parker

 

The children were all very excited when we started to rehearse our Wiggly Nativity!  We learned all the songs and the children chose which character they would like to dress up as.  They put on a fantastic performance for their families!

Christmas was such a busy time for us at nursery.  We met Santa, wrote cards, made presents and so much more.

The Christmas party was great fun!  We danced, had a fashion parade and played lots of games. The children were more than ready for their delicious party food.  Then Santa came!!!!

October at kids club

 

This month at kids club we have been super busy exploring all things autumn and Halloween themed.

 

The children have joined in with large scale body painting, created autumn animals using leafs we found on a leaf hunt around our forest school , tasted super sour apples that were grown in snug garden.  We helped make chocolate crispy cakes for our pudding ,spotted rainbows on the way to school , designed and carved our own pumpkins and had a good old game of hide and seek!

Thank you for collecting your autumn treasures in half term. The children had lots of fun making a giant collage with what they had collected.

This week The Snug have been looking at videos of fireworks on the smart board. The children were mesmerised and we encouraged them to move their bodies like fireworks with the coloured scarves and pom poms. We got very creative and made lots of firework pictures with black card, chalks, coloured collage and kitchen roll holders and paint. We also explored colour change and patterns doing a large splatter painting in the tuff tray.

In kids club this week we have built a huge den from the parachute, the children then made this into their house and used different resources to create rooms. They had a bedroom with mats down as beds and used a laptop as a pretend TV and the benches as a sofa. They decided to have a pizza party for tea with homemade pizzas. YUM!

 

Also this week we have begun talking about Remembrance Day, why we celebrate it and we have also painted some lovely poppies.

Another busy time in Red Group!  It was our new starters first time in Forest School and all of the children appeared to have a great time.  After we had a safety talk with pictures we investigated all of the equipment and discovered lots of fruit that had fallen off the apple and pear trees.  We later made them into a lovely crumble!   The children used the magnifying glasses to look for creatures and look at the colours of the leaves in the beautiful autumn sunshine.  We even found some snail eggs under a log and we found out more interesting facts about snails and slugs in a special book we have in Nursery.  What an exciting day! Then we talked about Remembrance Day and what it means.  We made poppies to take home. We had a talk about the dentist too and the children had a turn of brushing an enormous set of teeth!  There was also 2 more celebrations- Diwali and Children in Need.  We found out about Diwali and made special light holders to take home.  Then we celebrated C.I.N. by dressing up and making spotty Pudsey bears!  What a week!

The children dance fast and slowly to the rhythm to the music using the pom poms. They moved their bodies around the room and then talked about their own body and their own heart beats.

Welcome Green Groupers!

What a busy week we’ve had. The children explored all the new areas in nursery and introduced themselves to their peers and staff. We went round each area as a group and explored all the different things available.
Most of the children engaged in a role play game outside where they all pretended to be firefighters and were trying to put out all the fires they could find around the nursery yard! They were very quick at putting them out!
The children planned together and explored together, what a lovely week!

 

 

 

Pets!

20th March 2019J Begum

The Blue Group have been very interested in animals this week.  They have been talking about pets and how to look after them, which has included acting out trips to the Vets.  We talked about animals and their babies and used open ended resources to make homes for the small world animals.  Sophia brought a family of caterpillars for us to look at which prompted us to sing songs about creatures and listen to The Very Hungry Caterpillar story.
