Huge congratulations to last week’s super award winners. We hope that you are proud of your certificates.
Congratulations
Ice Fun At Home
Jasmin’s family has been looking at the photos of the ice marble activity.
“Thank you for the instructions and balloons for this, both Jasmin and her sister enjoyed making these at home.”
We are glad that you enjoyed trying this out at home. It certainly has been a very popular activity, providing lots of valuable discussion.
Decorated Egg Competition
What a lot of fantastic decorated eggs appeared from our Nursery children this week for our competition! It was great to see that children and their families have worked together at home on this fun activity and the Nursery table was full of lots of creative ideas. Well done to everyone who took the time to enter the competition and congratulations to Nancy who was the super Nursery winner.
Ice Marble Learning
Emilia’s family has been looking at the photos of the ice marbles that we made earlier in the term.
“Emilia was fascinated by the ice marbles. She told me all about them when she got home.”
The children were certainly very enthusiastic about this activity. It’s good to hear that you are talking about your learning at home Emilia.
Freezing And Melting
Whenever we have taken opportunities to learn about freezing and melting outdoors, the children have always been fascinated and excited by the changing state of the water. This term, as part of our Sciences activities, we have explored this interest further by making ice marbles using balloons. As you can see, there was always an enthusiastic group of children keen to participate and investigate what would happen to our marbles. We melted them indoors and outdoors as a comparison and the children loved it when we put objects inside our ice marbles such as paper confetti, dinosaurs and animals. They loved watching to see which hidden object would appear from the melted ice first and what exactly each ice marble held. They are certainly becoming great little scientists.
The Big Top
Leo’s family liked the photos of our visit to the circus tent:
“Leo was very excited to tell his family all about going to see the big top tent and was lucky enough to see the show on Sunday which he loved.”
You are a lucky boy Leo. You will have to tell us all about your visit to the circus.
Relaxation
The children in the Rainbow Room have been trying out some relaxation techniques recently, closing their eyes and listening to calming music. It’s surprising how good they have become at learning to relax their bodies. Here they are on Red Nose Day relaxing in their pyjamas – fortunately no-one fell asleep.
World Book Day
Nancy’s family has been looking at the photos of World Book Day when the children dressed up and brought their favourite books to Nursery.
“Nancy loved dressing up for world book day. Brilliant costumes. So nice to see so many of everyone’s favourite books “
It was lovely that so many children took part that day. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.
The Big Top
The children had the opportunity on Friday morning to visit the big top as the circus was visiting town right beside our Nursery. It was exciting for everyone to see inside the tent and appreciate the size of it although we were not lucky enough to see a show. I wonder if any of you went back over the weekend to the circus?
Out And About
Nancy’s family has been looking at photos of some of our recent activities.
“Nancy loved the visit to the police station as I’m sure all the other kids did too. Nancy loved being in the back of the van “
“Nancy loved the visit to the fire station. Her big smile says it all x” and “Nancy said one of her favourite things was those ‘big scissors’ “
It was certainly great to get out and about in the local community. It’s good to hear that Nancy enjoyed herself.
