We hope everyone had a lovely Easter break, even though the weather wasn’t always on our side.<\/p>\n

We have been sharing our knowledge of how you care for a baby. “The baby needs some milk, it’s hungry”<\/p>\n

“You put a hat on the baby when it’s cold.”<\/p>\n

The children explored ‘The Dot’ story in the creative area. The story tells us that anyone can be creative if they just take the first step. Through a simple classroom or playroom interaction, the story highlights how encouragement and a growth mindset can transform self-doubt into confidence. The children used their creativity and imagination skills to produce their very own dot pictures. They were all extremely proud of the art work that they produced and were complimenting each others work too.<\/p>\n

Through technology we can use simple directions and describe positions. When exploring the Bee Bots we were using the language of position and direction, including in front, behind, left, right, forwards and backwards, to solve simple problems in movement games.<\/p>\n

During Nurture Time we took part in a science experiment and used our prediction skills to guess what might happen when warm water was added to Skittles.<\/p>\n

“They’re going to dissolve.”<\/p>\n

“They will go white, all the colours will move.”<\/p>\n

Once we added the warm water we watched what happened. Our predictions were correct, the Skittles did start to turn white and the colours made the water look like a rainbow.<\/p>\n
