Planning
This week the children have chosen to continue exploring construction with an emphasis on planning and design. There are also a number of budding authors with stories being written and illustrated. Numbers continue to be popular and everything and anything is being counted!
Sandy Success!
Yesterday the staff and children worked together to top up the sand in the mud kitchen and sandpit. Using buckets and a wheelbarrow, together they moved two tonnes of sand!
Sunny Day Fun
It is lovely to welcome the sun back to Mearns and we have been making the most of it today!
Once I Caught a Fish Alive
Our nursery rhyme of the week is Once I Caught A Fish Alive.
The children have been exploring lots of fish related activities from fishing to designing and making fish from recycled materials. They have also been learning about the seas and the oceans.
Planning
The children have been busier than ever this week! The story of The Three Little Pigs has led to a flurry of excitement and the children have been designing, building and testing houses while exploring the properties of materials.
There has also been a lot of talk about numbers and counting to 5, the children have been keen to find and recreate numbers in many different ways.
If your family would like to contribute to our planning process please speak to a member of staff of add your ideas to the comments.
