We have been very busy this month, developing our interests and following our own learning within the nursery.

We showed lots of love and kindness on Valentines Day by giving compliments and telling our friends what we admire about them.

“You can build the tallest tower”

“You are my best friend, you can balance good”

“I love your hair, its so soft”

Emotional Awareness

We took some funny selfies exploring our emotions.

“Look cool.”

… we tried!

The Titanic

Most children in the Orange group have shown an interest in the Titanic. Some children have looked closely at books and researched some information online. Others have drawn their own boats and even built them out of blocks. We have learned some new vocabulary including what propellers, icebergs and funnels are.

We have learned some interesting facts about the Titanic.

“It had three propellers.”

“Not all the funnels worked properly.”

“That is the Captain of the Titanic”

Fine Motor

We have been developing our fine motor skills lots this month, we have been learning how to sew and thread a needle, which takes lots of concentration. Others have been using pin boards which is helping us develop our hand eye coordination and pencil control. Some children have been using loose parts to make their own creations, Loose parts helps inspire our imagination and creativity in our own individual way. One child added some loose parts to a building to “decorate it and make it beautiful”

Keep Fit Mondays!

Bird Watching

Since our nursery garden didn’t host many birds we ventured into the school playground to fill in our charts. “There’s lots of blackbirds isn’t there?” We have been learning how to use tally marks to keep count of how many birds we spotted.
