Transient Art

Hello Everyone,

A huge thank you again to all the families that have uploaded photos of the children doing the activities from their friends.

Here is another activity that has been created by one of our friends.

Transient Art:

What you will need:

  • A piece of paper, card or flat surface
  •  Items to create your letter or picture- This could be natural items from the garden or from a walk, or items from your own home.

 

Instructions:

  •  Pick a letter as a stencil for your transient art picture, or use your items to create an amazing picture. No glue necessary.
  •  Ask a parent to take a picture.
  •  The items can be tidied up and re-made into a new picture.

Above is our friends finished picture, dandelions in the shape of an “A”.

We would love to see your creations.

 

Here is a song about five little flowers:

Stay safe.

 

 

Celebrating You

Another week has passed, and the nursery children are still doing lots of learning at home.

The nursery children have also been taking part in the Gratitude Scavenger Hunt set by Mrs Tysom. Can you guess what their pictures are of?

Well done, and a Huge congratulations to all the nursery families – You are all doing a fantastic job!

Monday 18th May

Hello everybody,

I hope you all had a good weekend and did lots of fun things at home.

Today I had a hard time deciding on which story to choose. In the end I decided to post both of them. You can choose which one you would like to hear, or you could listen to both!

You can let me know what you decided, and if you listened to both which one you liked best and why?

Have a good day and stay safe.

Scavenger Hunt

Good Morning,

Mrs Tysom has set a Gratitude Scavenger Hunt Challenge in all the classrooms. I have posted a copy of it for any of the nursery children who want to join in. The children have until the end of May to find any of the things on the list. It can be just one thing or as many as they like. All we ask is that you send us a photo of the things you find. Happy Hunting!

Thursday 14th May

Hello everyone,

I hope you have all been having a good week so far. A huge thank you to all the families that have uploaded photos of the children doing the activities from their friends.

All the parents have been creating fantastic learning opportunities for their children at home. We are enjoying sharing these with all the children.

Here is another activity that has been done by one of our friends

Blowing Bubbles

What you will need:

  • A Container
  • Water
  • Washing up liquid
  • Sugar
  • Teaspoon
  • a straw or home made bubble wand.

Instructions:

  • Measure 1/2 cup of water into a container
  • Add 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • Add 2 teaspoons of washing up liquid
  • Mix together carefully
  • Use a straw or bubble wand to blow bubbles.

Here is how our friend was blowing bubbles on the table!

We would love to see how you get on.

Did you know that blowing bubbles develops so many skills. Fine motor by holding the wand/straw. Focus and concentration for the actual blowing. Muscle control in and around the mouth that helps with speech. All of this is just the blowing of them. Add on watching the bubbles or chasing and bursting the bubbles (if you have used a wand) and you have even more skills being developed. This is a simple but great activity.

How big a bubble can you blow before it pops!

Goodbye and stay safe everyone.
