The morning session children from the nursery were joined by the pre-schoolers from the afternoon (and a few mummies) for a visit to Rockcliffe beach yesterday. We were very excited to be going on the bus!
When we got there we split into groups and completed a range of activities. We made some beach art, hunted in rockpools and went a walk to the jetty to name just a few things. We had a picnic snack and played some ball games. What a great time we had!
We have been doing activities related to space for the last few weeks. See the captions under the photos for more information.
We were very lucky with the weather for our sports day. The children really enjoyed themselves and it was great to see such an excellent turn out of family and friends to support them.
The children who are going to school after the holidays have been taking part in some transition activities. We have had a look around the infant department, had a story in the P1 classroom and playing with the P1s and P2s during their break. We will continue to build on these experiences in the coming weeks.
With the weather being so nice this week we have been making the most of the opportunity to spend most of our time outside. The children have enjoyed playing in the garden and on the play equipment in the playground. The slide and the swing are still the favourites but we have had fun with the water tray, climbing on the tyres and playing “holidays” in the boat.
The afternoon children have been exploring their interest in dinosaurs. We have learned about some dinosaur behaviours and made different types of dinosaur pictures. We love stories about dinosaurs and have also made fossils out of clay.
The morning children have been very interested in transport recently so many of our activities have had a transport theme. We have painted different types of vehicle, compared old and new cars, explored floating and sinking and practised crossing the road, to name but a few things.
Thank you so much to the parents and family members who attended our Stay and Play sessions last week. It was lovely to welcome so people and the children were so excited to share their learning with you.
We have been learning about the Hindu spring festival of Holi, which is also known as the festival of colour. We loved the tradition of throwing coloured paints and water over each other, but it wasn’t practical to copy this exactly in nursery so we did similar things instead!
We have been talking about which aspects of spring we are interested in and have chosen to learn more about spring festivals. We celebrated Pancake Day on Tuesday and learned more about what a recipe is. We wrote our own recipes for soup and made soup today for snack.
It is World book Day today too. We talked about our favourite stories and some of us made books of our own.
