2D shapes have been everywhere this week!
A huge well done also to everyone for their amazing performance of ‘Three Craws’ for the schools Burns House Challenge! 👏👏
The Green Group enjoyed a woodland adventure today!
The Red Group enjoyed a morning in the woods yesterday!
The last of the teddy designing, apple turnovers and Chinese firecrackers are amongst the learning today!
Continuing our Chinese New Year celebrations the children made Hongbao money wallets .
The children have made the most of the freezing temperatures by making ice ornaments for the birds. They added a variety of ingredients like lemon, lime, cranberries to water- left them overnight outside, to freeze and then hung the ice ornaments from the trees for the birds.
The children also made the most of the frost to mark make! They all had a ‘brillllllllllliant’ time! 🥶💛
This week, as part of our celebrations leading up to the Chinese New Year, we have been cooking a variety of dishes including spring rolls, curry puffs and sweet corn fritters! The nursery has been smelling amazing whilst they have all been cooking and of course the best bit has been eating them all,up! 😍
Today we have made Chinese drums and we have taken our sewing further – by designing a teddy, cutting out the pattern and next we will be using the sewing machine to stitch them together.
A huge thank you for all the ribbon that was donated – we have been able to continue to weave and sew.
We have also been role,playing – people who help us – sharing our thoughts and ideas.
Following the children’s interests we have been learning about people who help us – particularly fire fighters. Today in our gym session we sang fires safety songs, we had a bucket race to put the fire out – we also did countdowns to go to a fire exit when the ‘alarm’ went off! We then played ‘smoke, smoke, fire and all shouted 999!Do ask the children to show you the ‘Stop, drop and roll” and be sure to ask them why they do this!
