We have had lots of fun this week at nursery. We have been talking part in creative play.
\nWe have also been exploring gross motor skill challenges in our garden this week. We have been walking like a dinosaur. We used a variety of dinosaur footprints to see the difference in size and shape. \u00a0Some of our creative children tried to match our toy dinosaurs with the footprints.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our children used their creative skills to create a pirate ship to set sail on an adventure. We used our building skills to make the ship and find loose parts to add to the inside. We used tyres as the steering wheel and tubes for our telescope.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOur children wanted to draw the sea and lava sharks surrounding the ship.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We loved our ship and used it as a cosy place to read stories together.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We enjoyed our pirate adventure so much we made our own pirate treasure imagination adventure. We made a map and had to follow all the directions, using our magic backpack along the way to help us at each stage of our journey.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of our children made their own treasure map. Well done I wonder what treasure you will find.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To round off our creative week we had a drawing class. We put a you tube drawing tutorial and got our pens and paper ready to follow along.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We made stitch and Spider-Man aswell as some other favourite characters.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We used our concentration and were very impressed with our drawing.<\/p>\n
