Monday

We are still enjoying exploring our new temporary environment with children sharing ideas of where to put things etc.  Today we also ventured into the surrounding playing fields exploring the trim trail and a variety of outdoor activities e.g. balls, cones and space hoppers- developing our sharing/turn taking, gross/fine motor skills as well as sharing ideas of different games to play.
Lego was popular today with a variety of models being created by representing/sharing ideas whilst designing and problem solving.

 

 

 

 

 

Tuesday

Today some of the children were experimenting in the water tray with the papettes “How far can we squirt the water?” “My waters going further than yours!” “Let’s see if we can hit the whale.” Exploring the force of water whilst developing use of language.
We explored another/different area of the outdoors today whilst developing our turn taking skills on the see saw and experimenting with our balancing skills and developing our gross motor skills.

Wednesday

Today a few children explored different kinds of forces whilst experimenting with the tyres -How far will it go? Will it reach the fence? How fast will it go?  Developing our estimation skills and use of mathematical language.  At the work bench some children shared ideas whilst planning/designing what kind of model they were going to build developing turn taking, problem solving skills and demonstrating their knowledge of how to keep themselves safe whilst wearing safety goggles to protect their eyes, holding/using the tools correctly and safely.

 

Thursday

Today all the children went on an adventure to the local estate. “We’re going on a bear hunt!” “I wonder where we’re going?” “What are we going to see?” “Is it far?” Whilst developing our questioning skills we explored and became more familiar with the local area. The children used a variety of vocabulary/language to describe their adventure on their return to nursery. Some of the children used a variety of resources/materials to represent their ideas, developing problem solving, designing, language and creative skills.
