Project Teddy Bear

Since August the children have been collaborating on a project… making their very own Yellow 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

Buttercup, Goldie or Sunny? 🐻🧸

 

All the other bears in our nursery are loved and taken very good care of too. 🥰

COOKING AND BAKING

Over the past few weeks the children have been developing their skills in the baking area. They have learnt simple food preparation techniques such as mixing, chopping and rolling. They have tasted familiar and unfamiliar foods and learned how to be safe while preparing  the ingredients. The children have also followed some recipes and even made their own recipe book.

Our firm favourites were , smoothies, potato scones and banana pancakes.

We had great fun picking vegetables from the nursery garden and prepared our own soup from scratch, which was absolutely delicious.
