Terrific Technology

Miss Dunn held a pupil focus group with the children to find out their views on the nursery and learning environment. Lots of children said they felt there could be more technology on the playroom floor. As a result we have added new games to the computer in the book corner, ordered more Bee Bots and introduced Leap Pad tablets to our daily activities.

The children have all had a great time learning through interactive games, taking pictures and selecting and listening to songs on the Leap Pads.

Remembrance Day

Lots of our boys and girls have been noticing the poppies people have been wearing on their jackets. We did a bit of research using the computers, newspapers and interviewing adults to find out why. We learned that people wear poppies to remember brave men and women who have died fighting in wars. Some of our boys and girls explored printing with junk material to create our own lovely poppy pictures.

Crisp Autumnal Days

We have been making the most of the dry, crisp weather in our outdoor learning area. With the leaves changing colour and falling into our playground we found some creative ways to play and learn with them. Some of us decided to make pumpkin pies using leaves as our ingredients, some created magical autumn castles and some even used the bamboo tubes to pour water on top of the dry leaves to investigate the effect.

No matter what the aim of our exploration was, we all certainly had fun with this very seasonal resource! DSCF0824[1] DSCF0821[1] DSCF0807[1] DSCF0798[1]
