Today was a busy day in the nursery , in the home corner the children were taking care of the babies , there was a lot of conversation and team work as they had to feed the babies , get them dressed and get them to sleep! They did a great job working together to look after 2 babies with such nurture!
Some children were building tracks and ramps with the different sized blocks , lots of problem solving as they were figuring out where to put each one. Others enjoyed some free painting , it was interesting to see all the colours being mixed together to create new ones , mixing red and blue was our favourite as it made purple. Some children tried our new playdough tools and were describing what shapes they made in the playdough.

Outside we had a mixture of different play as some children were creating their own games with the dinosaurs , a lot of imagination and creativity through the nature of the garden and mimicking the sounds they make.

Today there was a lot of sand and water play where some children were using the jugs and bottles to transfer the water , this took a lot of concentration as water was still splashing everywhere but we all kept trying. As from yesterday the same children were using the blocks to create ramps but this time using the cars to test how fast the cars go.

Outside some children were singing ring o ring of Rosie’s , where children joined in as it continued. Using the cubes and materials some children created dens we had two different ones , one on the tuff tray and one covering the cubes it was a great way for the children to take part in hide and seek. Other children were taking turns and jumping off of the cubes , demonstrating the use of our gross motor skills.

Wednesday we had some great snack helpers preparing snack , it was a great way to discuss the safety of knives and how to use them correctly , how the foods we eat are healthy. Some children were trying the jigsaws and working together to get them all together. Later Miss H introduced Kodaly to the morning children as well as the all day children , they responded well to the different songs and rhymes , we are learning new things such as singing faster , slower and quieter this also develops children’s social and literacy skills through music. We based this week on our emotions and all children are happy at nursery!

Outside we had lots of different sized dinosaurs and a fantastic habitat for them to live in with plants, stones, bark and mud!

Thursday we got to play on our new bikes and scooters!
There was sharing and some turn taking, supported by the nursery adults. We were learning that sometimes our friends also would like to play on the same new play equipment and we are working out the best way for all of us to have a turn.

In the afternoon some of us took ourselves inside for some quiet time in the story corner. We collected blankets and cushions to make us comfortable while we each enjoyed looking at storybooks and floor books together.

We’ve also made a road for us to use with the bikes and scooters.
Before lunch we had some together time with action songs.

This afternoon we continued with some outdoor play using the new cubes to climb and jump, before coming back into the playroom to explore the small world play sets such as the doll house, cars and trucks.
