Monday

The children got off  to a busy start in the block area creating an elaborate car garage which later became an airport, there was lots of teamwork & negotiating going as they figured out how best to build the construction.  All the children took part in watching a short clip about Remembrance Day & why we were poppy’s, some of the children visited the war memorial to pay our respect & placed a cross in the garden.

Tuesday

The garden has been a popular choice today with lots of role play in the garden.  They used pipes & other resources for their play at fire fighters, some children were being rescued from the building. The play continued to the hospital role playing doctors, nurses and even a chef who prepared meals for the patients.

Wednesday

This week is national anti bullying week, we had a group discussion about being kind & have introduced our kindness tree back in nursery. This is where we place a leaf on the tree to celebrate & recognise when one of our children has  been kind. The art area has been busy with some beautiful art work being produced.

Thursday

Today we went to gym where all the children took part in Kodaly, learning about rhythmic patterns this is a fun way to develop rhythm skills as well as many other benefits. Back in nursery the hoola hoops were popular with the children giving each other challenges.  Some children were interested to watch videos on the iPad of themselves revisiting what they’ve been doing in nursery.
