Our next ABC and beyond word was beware. The children had to look out for dangers in the picture and identify what they needed to beware of. They learned that beware means watch out.
“Beware of the dog.”
“Beware of cars.”
The children enjoyed climbing so we brought out the crash mat for children to jump off the wooden box. Each time they had to beware of anyone on the mat and watch out to make sure it was ok to jump.
In the garden the children have enjoyed digging. The boys were digging for treasure.
Some children have been using water to paint different things in the garden. They enjoyed looking at what happened when they put water over ice.
After decorating the tree in the nursery we wondered if we could have an outdoor Christmas tree. The children helped plant a branch which had fallen off the tree using spades and wheel barrows to collect soil. They worked together to ensure it had a strong foundation so it would stay standing. They enjoyed using different kinds of decorations to decorate their tree.
Other children enjoyed using loose parts to build their own dens and houses. They used bamboo and mallets to keep the bamboo stuck in the ground.
Layla has been practising hers numbers this week counting out different quantities using stickers.
