This week the children started their new ABC and beyond book Supertato by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet after a number of children showed an interest in Supertato stories before the holidays. This week their word was round meaning something that is circle shaped. Some children have been identifying things that are round in the nursery.

A number of the children have been exploring the new art studio.

On Monday the children had some time in the playground developing their physical skills through participating in the obstacle course and climbing. After this they had the challenge of collecting 5 leaves each. The children have been using these leaves in the art studio.

Some of the children have enjoyed participating in matching games and board games. They have been learning about taking turns and how to move around a board game.

Some of the children have been using planks of wood to create roads and ramps representing bridges. Malcolm was keen to try and put different things on the ramp including different vehicles and himself.

Some children were enjoying listening to some music. They were asked if they wanted instruments to play along and explored playing along to the beat of the music.

Taylor enjoyed doing some painting in the garden.

Riley, Brandon and Riley were using sponges, cloths and soapy water to clean the boat.

This afternoon, the children enjoyed doing finger rhymes and other songs as part of Big Noise.
