Today we had all kinds of fun in Nursery!

The children have been showing a great interest in all things linked to technology and to support and extend their learning we are developing a new technology area within the nursery.

As a taste of things to come we have added a small engineering table where the children can use real tools to take apart different appliances. We have been learning so much about the ways things work.

We can’t wait to unveil our new technology area!

Today we welcomed families into the Nursery to explore writing and the opportunities for supporting the development of writing through Learning Together at home.

 

We looked at:

Gross and fine motor development

Scissor skills

Pre-writing skills

Emergent writing

 

Then the children joined us and the fun began! We played lots of different games and took part in a number of activities that all help build the skills necessary for successful writers.

If you were unable to join us for our sessions today and would like to know more about developing the skills for writing please speak to Mrs Sobocinski. Our next Learning Together sessions are focusing on reading and are on Wednesday 4th March.

 

Hope to see you there!

This week we have worked in partnership with children and families to further develop our planning. We have been exploring fractions, weather and technology all linked to the children’s interests.

Our rhyme of the week is Jack and Jill. We have been exploring what some of the new words in the rhyme mean and learning new rhyming words.

We are excited about our upcoming STEM week in Mearns Nursery and we will be exploring all things nautical. To support our learning we are looking for a few bits and pieces. If you have them spare can you please pop them in our resources basket.

Thank you
