Today in Nursery we have been teaching the children about the importance of hand-washing at every opportunity, especially before eating, after being outside and after using the toilet. This is Lorenzo, with Aimee supporting, showing us how it is done. Well done. 🤗🚰

We have seen lots of imaginative role play going on in our nursery garden. We have seen a café with drinks being served at the picnic benches and lots of “cheers” taking place. In the mud kitchen we have been cooking up delicious treats. We had to move our frying pan around so food didn’t burn and we also made good use of the “ingredients” om offer. Imaginative play is good for developing language, imagination, being creative and developing social skills.

Here is a photo to support your children with hand washing at home.🤗

We are hoping to transform our nursery garden into a lovely interactive learning environment. This may be a lengthy process with lots of planning involved. The children have been involved from the onset. Firstly, we had to gather the children’s ideas and views. There were some amazing contributions. Some of the ideas were,
A Cat in the Hat wobbly bridge, a hidey den with seats and a ladder, a track with fire engines and police cars, a swimming pool, a builders yard and a musical area to name a few. We think that this may be doable [ apart from the swimming pool!] We hope to get started very soon. Thank you boys and girls👍

We discovered a strange looking ball in our tuff spot. The ball smelt and felt different. Using spray bottles filled with water we investigated what this strange ball could be. Once water was applied it began to fizz and change shape and colour. Hidden inside were stars, which took us by surprise!!! We enjoyed feeling the texture of the ball and smelling the different smells, and watching the different colours. We also discovered that our hands turned blue in the water!!! Our bathbomb provided lots of experimenting, investigating, developed our language through discussion of textures and smells and more importantly was lots of fun!!!

We have been having lots of fun in a cardboard box. Lots  imaginative and creative play was going on in our box. Our box was a car, a rocket, a place to read our books and a place to have lots of fun with our friends. A simple cardboard box can be a million ideas.
