The children were excited to find lots of different bugs when we moved a piece of wood. They used magnifiers to take a closer look and used an insect guide to see what they found.

Malcom brought in a shed skin from a tarantula to share with his nursery friends which sparked lots of learning about spiders.

Logan shared his knowledge. “Spiders live in webs and they are very sticky to catch a fly. They go round and round and round. “

May drew a picture for our learning book. “My spider has lots of legs!”

Everyday opportunities to develop our writing and numeracy skills.

STEAM in action as the children worked together to move the guttering, hose pipe and bottles to make water flow. Harry realised a funnel would help to put water into the hose. “This one is too big – I need a smaller one.” Said Harry as he tried different sizes.

The new children have been developing self help skills , independence and becoming familiar with the nursery routines.

The children made their own shopping list and used it to buy snack at the shop. They looked at environmental print on their walk looking for familiar letters on street signs. Max was impressed by all the different kinds of bread.

We had a lovely visit to the park to  use the large equipment.
