The children are loving having their grown ups come to nursery and stay and play with them! We have been enjoying lots of spooky activities and provocations. 🎃

We have been enjoying welcoming parents to ‘stay and play’ this week and to join in some of our spooky play!

The children loved the story of Jack and the Beanstalk so much they decided to create their own. After a lot of planning, cutting, gathering, sticking they made a huge beanstalk. They then wrote all their names on the leaves and measured their height next to the beanstalk. There was great use of language to compare and discuss height –  tall, taller and tallest etc

We have been building, rolling dice and identifying numbers, measuring and planting bulbs in our nursery garden.

We are all suited and booted and making the most of the wet weather by making water channels in the sand – great problem solving and teamwork!

Today we have been exploring the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Some of the children had asked ‘What is a harp?’
We were incredibly lucky to be able to answers this question, by allowing the children to hear a harp and for them to be given an opportunity to play a harp  through Alexander’s Dad. A huge thank you from us all!

We were treated to the story of ‘The Gruffalo’ in Spanish today by Alexander’s Dad. We loved working out  which Spanish word meant owl, fox, snake and of course mouse.

Today we had playdough spiders, writing in green paint and some amazing drawings of fishtanks amongst lots of other learning.
