📚 World Book Day 📙

We have been taking part in a variety of experiences to celebrate reading and books as part of World Book Day. We were gifted a book from World Book Trust which we got to take home. We have also had the opportunity to take part in Bookbug sessions and circle games where we have been sharing stories, rhymes and songs as a group. Some of our families and friends also have had the chance to join in these experiences with us. Some children dressed up as their favourite character from their favourite book, it was wonderful to see you all excited to show off your costumes.

👾 Colour Monster 👾

The children in the red group have been continuing to learn about and exploring their emotions. Together we played a challenging game where we had to first identify an experience such as a birthday party, a sore knee and even a broken toy. All children contributed well showing confidence when speaking out to others in their group. We were supportive of everyone’s contribution and praised each others efforts. Once we had identified all the different experiences we then sorted them into how it would make us feel.

“If I hurt my knee, I’d be sad and might cry”

“A birthday party is happy happy!”

“Angry and cross!”

🔢 Logo Bingo 🔢

As most children showed strengths in playing bingo at nurture time we created a new special version together.

Full of Logos! We brainstormed different ideas and used the iPad to look logos up and save them.

Once the game was complete we were so excited to play it together.

Most children have mastered the concept of the game and shown beautiful compassion in helping their friends if needed.

We have now extended this game further for some by removing the visual aid to add a tricky challenge!

Well done red group!

🐸 The life cycle of a Frog 🐸

We have been so lucky to find out we were getting some of our very own frogspawn for our community garden. The hard work began immediately and many children from the red group became involved in creating a magnificent new habitat for our new little friends.

Once the frogspawn arrived the children got to have a close look at them. We have also been researching different questions the children have been asking.

“How does their tails grow”

“what does the spawn feel like?”

“how many fingers does a frog have?”

During nurture time we went out together to have a close look at our frogspawn as it settled into our community garden pond.

The children have have been excited and motivated to learn all about a frogs life cycle. We cant wait to see how they grow and develop.
