Month: April 2020

Riley celebrated National Superhero Day with Mummy and Daddy.

Ava has lost her first tooth and wanted to share the news with all her nursery friends.

The tooth fairy left her some money under the pillow which she has used to buy stuff for her new fairy garden.

Violet and Jacob are making the most of the sunshine as well as baking, planting seeds, modelling with playdough, building Lego, riding scooters and creating lots of crafts. Fabulous fun!

Indy has found the best campsite in Newton Mearns (the family driveway). They are having a lockdown week in the campervan – dreaming and planning of their next adventure.

Today we are going to be thinking about Fire Fighters. Their job is to prevent and put out fires as well as helping to rescue people when they are in difficulty.

We have five senses that help us to explore and make sense of the world around us. They are:

Touch

Taste

Sight

Sound

Smell

Lets look at the different ways we can explore each one.

Touch 

Find items of different textures around you home or garden and think of good words to describe them

Play with playdough/gloop/slime or cooked and cooled pasta

Place liquid paints into sealed bags and try some colour mixing

Try making cloud or moon dough

Bake bread

Taste

Try a new healthy food today, what does it taste like?

Combine different fruits, vegetables and juices or milk of your choice to make a smoothie

Cover your eyes and ask an adult to give you different foods, can you tell what they are just by taste?

Sight

In a room of your choice or the garden take a good look around and draw, write or talk about what you can see

Fill a container with rice and small objects to create an eye spy bottle

Play a game of Whats Missing

Sound

Sit in your garden and close your eyes, what can you hear?

Use different items from around your home to create different sounds

Ask a family member to play you their favourite piece of music

Listen to a book on CD

Smell

Add water to different powdered food items and use them to paint, try hot chocolate, spices, gravy etc

Which of the flowers in the garden have a scent?
