Monday 10th

It has been a busy start to the week with some of the children heading straight to the art area to start creating. There has been some beautiful models and paintings. They experimented using the powder paints mixing different colours, the easel was used to discover the consistency “too runny”. In the garden some children used blocks & sticks to create models/building’s, using positional language and problem solving. As it is internet safety week we finished our day with a story about internet safety. We chatted about how we keep ourselves safe online.

Tuesday 11th

Some of the children have been exploring forces in the garden using guttering & a selection of materials. They used team work & co-operation as they discussed how best to make their chosen items flow down to the end.  The children have really been enjoying experimenting with powder paints again creating exciting colours. Some children took part in What’s in the bag, developing language & social skills as well as many other benefits whilst having lots of fun.

The children are still interested in our learning wall  ‘pets’ learning lots of different & fun facts. We had a special visit from  a grandparents puppy- Buddy, some children asked questions about what Buddy likes and dislikes as well as being able to give cuddles. All of the children visited the library which we took part in book bug, we listened to two stories and all got to choose their own book to take back to nursery. Back in nursery there has been lots of fantastic models created using junk modelling,

Following on from the interest of pets a couple of children asked for a ‘paper’ dog/cat using different technologies to discover the functions using a scanner, internet. Showcasing their creative skills to cut/create puppets and  decorate with their print outs. In the garden some children have been creating different structures and testing how stable they are.
