Meadowburn Early Years Centre

 

This week the children have been learning about Robert Burns and all  things Scottish.  They created thistles in the Art Area, designed and used real tools to make little haggis and of course tasted delicious Scottish foods.

 

Provocations – Literacy in action

This week in the story/literacy area the children are developing their knowledge of letters and sounds by identifying what some familiar words begin with.

The children were talking about the snow outside and used different  techniques to create their own snow day images.

Learning for Sustainability – The children have planted seeds and will tend to them as they grow.  These will then be harvested in the Spring time.

 

Lots of woodwork design and creativity.
Halloween fun  Developing life skills

Incy Wincy came to visit Meadowburn and this inspired curiosity and interest.

The children really enjoyed learning about spiders in the Art & Crafts Area.  This provided breadth and depth of learning as they were singing the rhyme, researching interesting facts and creating their own amazing spiders in their webs.

     

Maths Week in the Wood Work Area – The children were measuring the length of wood by counting along the measuring tapes.  They then discussed the longest and shortest pieces.

Transient Art – The children explored every day natural loose parts to create images of their faces.
