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.
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.
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.
 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
We have had an amazingly fun week at nursery!!
Exploring spooky stories and things that are real and pretend. The children enjoyed exploring all the Halloween areas in the bottom room, there was spiders, webs and witches and lots of other spooky things in cauldrons all around.
We also had a Halloween DISCO!!!
We all dressed up, played lots of games like pass the spider and spooky corners. We had a dance and a fashion parade to show off our costumes and danced some more!
To end we had a delicious party tea in our group rooms where we played even more games! We read Room on the Broom and played pin the nose on the pumpkin and bobbing for doughnuts!
What a great week 🙂
 
  
Cutting vegetables for George the Hamster
The children worked together to cut snack for George the hamster they sliced a variety of fruit and vegetables discussing likes and dislikes and tasting as they cut segments off. They also talked about textures of the food and that it is healthy for us.
In forest school the children in yellow group talked about bonfire night and what colour fireworks they seen and heard. Next the children worked together to create a large Firework scene using various bottles these included spray bottles, push bottles and squeeze bottles with watered down powder paint to create large marks. During this when the children were creating the marks they made noises i.e. “bang”, “crash”, “boom” to mimic the fireworks they had heard the night before. At the end the children took turns jumping in the builders tray to make there marks splatter and increase in size.
The children danced to sticky kids and copied actions and words to songs. They enjoyed number songs and repeated numbers in sequence.
The children took part in filling up a scarecrow they discussed how we could make its face and whether it should be a boy or a girl. The children then named her Amelia and said she is now part of the yellow group.
