This week for Maths Monday, Playroom 2 and 3 explored colour matching and sorting through hands-on play

The children enjoyed grouping objects by colour, matching items together, and talking about what they could see. Through play-based learning, they began to notice similarities and differences while building early maths understanding in a fun and engaging way.

What skills were we developing?

Colour recognition

Sorting and categorising

Early problem-solving

Visual discrimination

Language development (naming colours and describing objects)

Concentration and focus

Fine motor skills

Early mathematical thinking

These activities help build strong foundations for future maths learning — all while having lots of fun!

‘Laughter drifts through the garden as children sway on the hammock swing, turning simple moments into pure magic’

Yesterday we visited the Grans and Papas at Argyll House.

‘From tiny hands to silver hair, kindness is a gift we share.

Big or small, both young and wise, love grows strong when hearts unite.’

Crack and stir with happy hands,

Pour a circle in the pan.

Flip it quick with lots of cheer,

Pancakes smiles for all to share!

Within our Social Zone, we have shown an interest in baking, cooking and discovering the different skills we can learn.

Last week we made shortbread and this week we have had the opportunity to make pizzas.

‘Roll it, top it, bake it with care, pizza making fun we share!

This week our children had the opportunity to take part in a range of STEM activities such as: our small Gabber/Maths & Numeracy Groups, making playdough and through construction and block play during free play

We discussed shapes, sizes, colours, matching, sorting, textures and much, much more.

The children were: problem solving, learning new mathematical and numerical concepts, developing communication skills, turn taking and curiosity.

🤩Wellbeing Wednesday🤩

On our Wellbeing Walk, we used our senses to smell the air, look and listen to everything around us.

We were very sad to see lots of litter and dog poo.

Back at nursery we took part in some Seaside Themed Yoga

‘Like the waves, breathe in and out, stretch and move, then rest about’
