Yesterday the AM session children experimented with the water tray in the garden. They used different sized containers to fill and empty, talking about how fast or slow this made the water flow down the water run.

Today with the AM children during welcome time we picked nursery rhymes using some rhyming spoons. We sang them together along with some actions and then talked about our favourite songs and rhymes that we sing at home.

Today, following planning we have been learning to take turns when taking part in an exciting activity. We are waiting out turn when playing on the board learning to cook/bake. HWB 0-05a

An important part of this activity was the children had to wash their hands before making anything. HWB 0-33a

The children are also experiencing some messy play with Rice Krispies. SCN 0-12a

Today we had our first lesson in Paths. We all loved meeting some new furry friends and listening to a story about starting nursery/school. 🦔🐢🐶🐤

We then had a chat about some of the golden rules and made a poster for our room. We can’t wait to meet our paths friends again soon 😀

Well done to Ada for getting “Star of the Week” in the Oak room for the AM session. Ada this week has followed our golden rules everyday and has been an excellent helper at tidy-up time🥰

BOOKBUG📕🐝
Today, we had a bookbug session😊 Bookbug brought along some characters from familiar nursery rhymes in his special bag and he chose the children who sang his song the best to pick out one of the puppets🧐

After singing along to each puppets nursery rhyme we sat down and read a story called “Big Fish, Small fish”.
