Monday:

This week started with lots of role play.
Some of us built police cars with the large blocks and made handcuffs from pipe cleaners to support our play.
“I have a police dog called K9”

Tuesday:

Tuesday we played mostly outside.
Some of us used the small blocks to create towers and “McDonalds”!
There was lots of sharing resources with our friends and building resilience when our wonderful creations fall down !

We had a great time being back up in the mud kitchen now that we have new garden steps.
We made cups of tea and chatted about what we like to have with a cup of tea and what our family members like with tea (kitkats apparently!). Lots of great discussions to add to our PLJs 😊.

Wednesday:

Wednesday we were busy!
Peter Rabbit computer game is a firm favourite at the moment. We’re practicing directional language and sharing our strategies with our friends.

We are continuing our interest  in construction and engineering with building houses.

”This is a baby house, no grown ups allowed!”.

Working as a team to build and tidy up again. We’re trying hard with our tidying up, some of us find this tricky, but we’re still trying. 😁

Thursday

Almost all of us spent Thursday morning outside in the garden,  riding the bikes & scooters, playing families in the playhouse, digging in the mud pit, playing in the mud kitchen, and role playing a “Chocolate Town”! Lots of valuable learning, creating, sharing, turn taking, exploring, counting, contextual learning – phew, what a busy morning!

A small group of us even helped Miss Higgins at the shop to buy more flour!

Friday:

We found different sized/shaped leaves in our nursery garden. We tried some leaf rubbing using various Autumn coloured crayons-developing our knowledge and understanding of the world around us.  The children chose some new musical instruments to add to our outdoor music area – this created lots of discussion re the different sounds the instruments made. “This one’s really noisy 🙉” “We’re a band 🎸🥁🪇”
