Project Teddy Bear

Since August the children have been collaborating on a project… making their very own Blue group teddy bear.

Children have all taken a role, either big or small, whatever they have been interested in doing.

Some children have decorated a patch of the teddy bears material, some have stitched these patches together, some stuffed the teddy bear and some children have even used the sewing machine to make bags and pillows for the teddy.

This has instilled a feeling of accomplishment and ownership in the children as they have thoroughly enjoyed creating and playing with all four of the groups bears.

We are now in the process of voting for our bear…

I wonder if little bear will be named

Pepi, Bluebell or Percy? 🐻🧸

 

Fine Motor

During nurture time, the blue group children have been developing their fine motor skills, this supports the holding of a pencil during mark making and early writing activities. We have been doing activities such as making shapes with elastic bands on the geo boards and making patterns with the pegs on the peg boards.

September

This month we introduced travelling tales.  The children  in the blue group have enjoyed choosing books on a Monday to take home and share with their families for the week.  Inside the bag there is a book review if your child wishes to draw their favourite part of the story.  If your child is not in on a Monday they can choose their book on another day.

 

 

New Beginnings – August 2024

A big welcome back to all our existing families and a warm welcome to our new families. We hope you all had an amazing summer and we are very excited to be back at nursery for lots of fun and learning.

The first couple of weeks back , we have been settling in and getting used to being back in our nursery environment again. We have been welcoming new children into the blue group.

We have been enjoying learning our friends names during our play and singing number songs, using our number mats at nurture time.

We have been taking part in risky play outdoors and learning how to keep ourselves safe when building with the crates.
