Stickman

Today we were busy in all areas of the nursery but there was a certain buzz around the creative area and the woodwork area.  Following some chat about Stickman the children made their own Stickmen by using sticks that had been collected.

We used peelers to whittle and make the sticks smooth.  Next we used wool and wound it around the sticks to make clothes for our characters.  This helps to develop our fine motor skills.

Check them out!

Can you help?

We are looking for an instant camera that the children could use to snap photos of their creative buildings, to record their achievements     With Christmas clear outs happening, if you come across one that is no longer being used, we would be grateful to receive. Thanks. 💛

Marvellous Maps

This week we have created our own maps as part of our Mearns Masters Coders Pathway.  We had to decide where we were travelling from and where we were travelling to and show this to our friends.

Using the direction cards we showed which way we would go on our journey.  Some were keen to go shopping at Silverburn but couldn’t find a parking space.  Others wanted to go to the sweetie shop!

We had fun playing with the toy cars on our maps and pretending to go on journeys using direction words.
