The children love playing with different malleable materials and especially play dough. To make the experience more fun they often add different textures and scents.
Yesterday the children planted an indoor herb garden.
These herbs will be used to enhance sensory play through their addition to play dough and children will also get the chance to taste some of them in herbal tisanes and through cooking.
We are are also looking forward to caring for our herbs and watching them grow.
Yesterday the children came into the nursery to find a crime scene! Someone had broken a chair, who could it have been……..?
There was a lot of discussion and investigation, in the end the children decided that it must have been Goldilocks who had broken into the nursery and snapped the chair.
The rest of the day was spent thinking about Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children chose to investigate objects of different sizes, putting them in order from the smallest to the largest.
They then decided to build three cars of different sizes for the bears to drive around in.
The story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears was acted out in the home corner with some new and interesting story additions!
