National Eat Your Vegetables Day
Hello!
Today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day. I love vegetables? Do you?
———————————————————————————–
I wondered if you could name some of your favourite vegetables and draw, paint or create them?
Can you name the vegetables above? Or even trickier, do you know where they grow? In the ground, on a tree or on a vine?
————————————————————————————-
Could you name the vegetables you have in your home?
You could help in the kitchen to prepare or chop vegetables with an adult for dinner? Or you could make a snack of vegetables and dip?
Remember to be safe and always wait for an adult to help you!
———————————————————————————-
Lots of you over lock down have been helping in the kitchen. I am sure your grown ups have enjoyed cooking, baking, mixing and juicing with you.
Above is a snack idea that we have in nursery, Vegetables and dip.

Our Story today is called Oliver’s Vegetables:

Dinosaurs
Hello Everyone!

Miss McDonald this week spoke about a story that I enjoy and think is really funny. So I thought I would share it with you, I hope you enjoy it too!
The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet!

Can you share with us your favourite stories at the Google Meets this week?
On the topic of dinosaurs, you could create your own. Here is just one idea of how you could create your own dinosaur, but you could make it anyway you wish. Just have fun with it.

Pea Plants
When Nursery was closed back in March, we gave you all a pea plant to look after and care for.
Here is a photo of one of our friends who has managed to grow an actual pea pod on their plant! Well Done!
How are your plants doing have they also had pea pods grow with peas?
Sticks are magic.
Magic wands are amazing, the most magical thing you can find in the woods today.
How can you find a magic wand I hear you ask?
Well, let me tell you a secret, each magic wand is only magic because of how it is made.
First, you must find a stick as long as your arm.
Once you have found your stick you will need some string or elastic bands, (double-sided sticky tape will also work)
Next, you need to search around for magical (natural) items that will give your wand special powers. ( I like big leaves and colourful flowers)
Once you have collected your magical items you need to ask an adult to help you tie or stick them on your stick. They can be all over your stick to help it be super magical.
Each item adds to the magic, so put lots on.
Now you need a magic word, the magic word can be anything but only the person holding their wand can decide what their magic word is.
Ready, steady… let’s hear those magic words and you can cast a spell.
If you have any ribbon or fabric then you could attach that to your wand too and watch it blow in the wind.
Be careful not to turn any brothers or sisters into frogs!
Share your magic words and wands with us on ILD.

Pebble Power!!!
I am a constant collector. I go for walks and pick up pebbles and stones everywhere I go.
I have a stack of big stones at my front door and many baskets and jars of different colours through my house.
But what can we do with these stones other than put them in a jar or leave them in a basket?
Can you stack your stones?
This helps build up hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as well as dealing with problem-solving. It doesn’t have to be a huge stack of stones, even two or three is impressive.
Can you use your stones as treasure and hide them from your Mum or Dad?
You could tap some other stones together if they get close to finding your treasure, stop tapping when they get further away. Maybe the tapping can get louder when they are really really close to the treasure.
Can you use your stones for maths and art?
Drawing a white line on all your stones, whether its a wiggly line or straight line. Then try and problem solve and make a picture. Maybe you could make a shape or maybe even the first letter of your name.
Can you make your stones into Story Stones?
We love stories in nursery. You could make your own story stones like in the picture. You could download some pictures or draw your own and tell your family your favourite stories.
The Artful Parent (www.artfulparent.com) loves making story stones if you wish for some tips and hints.
Can you organise your stones into different sizes or colours?
This uses problem solving and maths, not only are there so many different ways to organise a collection there is also no right or wrong way. Big to small, tiny to teeny-tiny, the different colours.
However you play with your stones and pebbles, please share your ideas on ILD and on twitter.

Hello everyone,
I hope you all have thumbs up and had a great weekend.
It was lovely seeing the children who attended the Google Meets last week. If you want to take part please contact a member of staff and we will add you into a group.
Here is a story about seeing your friends and not being able to touch them and how you can let them know you still care for them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tarq5nkkGlk
I was going to post an outdoor activity, but was unsure how the weather would be. I have decided to ask you if you think you can make a tent/den.This can be made indoors or if it is nice you can make it outdoors.
One of our friends has already made a fantastic den with their big brother. What do you think? isn’t it fabulous!
We would love to see your creations.
Thursday 4th June
Hello everyone,
I have posted an activity on the school twitter account for you. You can find it at @abbotswell.
It uses a shadow! Do you remember what a shadow is? and what you need for it to appear?
Did you know that you can make shadow puppets.
What can you make your shadow do?
We would love to see what you create. As always you can post it to your ILD or tweet it to @abbotswell
