Tea for Two?
If you have any old teapots languishing in a cupboard we would love to give them a new home. Please could you hand in any unwanted teapots to the nursery for an exciting new project.
Morning Fun
Numbers
The children have been enjoying identifying numerals in their environment. Today they wanted to try writing them and sequencing them so we had a shot at making number lines.
Sorting
Over the course of the week the children have been sorting lots of different things. They have sorted by colour, shape and type.
Today the pom-poms had gotten all mixed up and we used tongs to sort them into groups by colour and size. They were quite slippery which made the activity even more challenging!
Floating or Sinking
The children had been talking about items that float and those that sink so today we decided to experiment! Items from around the playroom and playground were collected and the children held them and shared if they would float or sink.
They then tested their predictions by placing them in water to see what would happen. Finally they had two collections of items, those that float and those that sink.
Everybody had lots of fun and there were plenty of surprises in relation to the items that floated and those that sank!
Bird Feeders
The children have been keen to encourage wildlife and beneficial insects into the nursery playground. Today they asked to make bird feeders.
We threaded grapes onto string, creating bird feeders and developing our fine motor skills at the same time!
Repeating Patterns
Today some of the children were exploring repeating patterns, they used their new knowledge and paint to make caterpillars with patterned bodies.
