May has been packed full of lots of learning and fun!
The orange group have been really busy at group times practising their new songs that they have been learning for the moving on ceremony.
They have all mastered the Makaton signs that go along with the words of the song! Well done everyone!
Baking
Most children were keen to take part in baking throughout the month. They have asked for different things to bake which we have done throughout the month.
“Can we do some shortbread again?”
“I would like to have pasta for snack”
“Cheesy pizza would be yummy”
The children explored and developed a variety of their skills as it encourages children’s thinking, their problem-solving and their creativity. It also allows them the opportunity to use the knowledge they have and apply it by counting, measuring, following a sequence, following directions, and cause and effect.
Children have also taken on a very important role as we have started using our compost bin outdoors, the children have been given the responsibility to put their food waste in a separate bin which they then take out to recycle. Children have been learning about the process and each day they are excited to see what bugs are in the container.
Planting
In the garden each group has been given their own planter, the children have chosen which bedding plants to plant and then have taken the responsibility to look after them each day. They have also been given the opportunity to plant their own sunflower seeds before taking them home.
Stay and Play!
May was super exciting because it was the very first time we got to welcome our parents into our nursery playroom. The children were so happy to show their loved ones around all their favourite areas and introduce them to their friends.
They have been so excited to get the photos we took printed and put straight into their journals!
Sports Week!
Sports week was a raving success! It was jam packed full of amazing activities and events for everyone to take part in.
All children enjoyed practising the races the week before.
The children had the opportunity to take part in races, potted sports, dancing and bike/ scooter day where the children could bring in their own bike or scooter to use in the primary schools playground. It was wonderful to have some spectators too, thank you so much for coming along and supporting us!
