We have continued our transport topic in the Nursery this week, amongst other things.  Following our transport survey last week, we created pictograms of the results on the interactive whiteboard and used the pictogram to discuss the results – in summary lots of cars but no motorbikes (to the disappointment of quite a few children)!  We practised our movement skills outside; weaving in & out of cones, stepping between hoops & balancing on stepping stones.  We celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as a favourite character and by creating our own stories; we used a figure, a picture of a place and of a vehicle as stimuli.  The children showed great imagination & created some fantastic stories, all of which are now in the children’s PLPs.  Mrs Carson brought some frog spawn to Nursery which is now in a tank and is getting a lot of interest; already we have some tadpoles swimming around!!  Some of the children were cooking this week; soup is a very popular snack so Mrs McLatchie & her helpers made lentil soup; everyone had snack together and we sat at tables as if we were in a café.  We finished off the week by making paper aeroplanes and flying them in the Nursery; with a little bit of practice they were flying very well indeed!

Next week we will begin planning our space topic with the children!
