While creating our fairy garden, the children thought it might be a good idea to make some fairies of our own. They were very busy with glue, pens, pegs and material and it was quite a tricky job because, as we all know, fairies are very small so some careful work was required. However, some beautiful little characters were created and they now live in the fairy garden. We are wondering if they may encourage other little fairies to join them?
Callum’s family has been looking at the photos of the children playing in gloop:
“This has been a big hit. Callum really enjoyed getting his hands all green. He said it was very slimy and he enjoyed having his friends beside him playing in it.”
It really was great fun so thank you to Lily’s Mum for being a super gloop maker.
We all had great fun recently with a lovely present from Lily’s Mum who brought in a big tray of green gloop. As you can see from the photos below, the children absolutely loved this messy experience and, as well as the photos, we have captured some of their comments on how it felt.
Harvey L.: it’s wobbly.
Leah P.: it’s squidgy.
Danielle: it’s cold.
Leah M.: it feels yukky. It’s like glue and sugar. It’s sliding off my fingers.
Quinn: it’s so gooey.
Lily: it’s slime, slime, slime.
Owen: it’s like glue.
Finlay: it’s all slime.
Francesca: it feels like sticky soap.
Chloe: it feels weird. I can’t get it off my hands.
Harris N.: it’s gooey. It’s not dry but it’s kind of dry. It smells like porridge.
Callum: it feels like sparkles.
Isobella: it’s getting very hard.
Olivia’s family was pleased with the photo showing our Nursery rules:
“What a lovely picture to go alongside an important rule! Olivia has enjoyed making friends with the new boys and girls that have recently started at nursery! 🙂”
‘We will all be friends’ is an important rule in Nursery. It’s lovely to see children making new friends this year after some have moved on to Primary 1.
The children should all now be familiar with the Nursery rules and they all seem to be remembering them most of the time. I wonder if they can tell you what they are?
Harris’ family likes the photo of him watching another little boy working with the hammer and chisel:
“Harris is thinking so that is how to do it. I will know what to do when it is my turn to make a fairy house.”
He is certainly paying lots of attention. The children really did show good concentration with that activity.
Harvey’s Granny is impressed with his skills with a hammer and chisel:
“Harvey is really concentrating helping to make the fairy garden looking forward to seeing it finished x”
He has certainly done lots of super work for the garden recently. Well done Harvey.
Two of our families have been looking at the photos of the children painting shells and stones for the fairy garden:
“Quinn doing what she does best painting herself as well as the shells. X”
“Lily is very excited about the fairy garden! She insisted that I come and have a look and said I had to be very quiet as that’s when the fairies come out! I also heard her telling her granny all about it!”
It’s good to hear that the children are excited about the fairy garden. Let’s hope that the fairies are excited too.
Lily’s family also enjoyed the woodworking photos where the children are using a hammer and chisel:
“Wow! Grandad will be impressed with this photo! He thinks he’s the only joiner in the family!😂”
I’m sure that Grandad will be impressed Lily because you worked so carefully with that hammer and he will be able to see your super concentration in the photo.
We posted some photos recently of the children washing logs and slabs of wood as a starting point for making fairy houses for outdoors. The next stage was to carry out some woodwork to make doors and windows so we helped the children to use a hammer and chisel to carve them out of the wood. The hammer was also useful for adding chimneys to the houses. Super listening and very careful work was evident and you can see the look of concentration on their faces as they carried out this tricky task. I wonder if we are seeing some joiners of the future here?
