Monday 17th

It has been a very busy start to the week with some of the children being particularly busy at the art area making hand bags. This provided the opportunity to source a variety of  different materials & use our junk to create their masterpieces. They discussed shapes, position & size as well as developing fine motor skills. In the garden some children chose to play hockey whilst others played with the water using pipes.

Tuesday 18th

Carrying on from yesterday’s play the water has been popular again with lots of different resources being used.  There was lots of chat amongst them about forces where they experimented with the objects. They had to work together share space & problem sole to achieve the outcome they were looking for. Inside there were conversations about fruit/vegetables, giving a deeper understanding of what is fruit and vegetable. Some children chose to make faces with their selection.

Wednesday 19th

Today we explored with previous stones  to make transit art, we chatted about the colours & different pattern’s within the stones. Each child selected a variety of colours to make their art work. The sun was shining so the garden was busy with lots of different play from making music to football/basketball & bike riding. Some of the children took part in a tug of war which became quite competitive with the winning team being best of 3.

Thursday 20th

We all went to the school today where the nursery children were read to by the primary 6 children, sharing their favourite stories and chatting about the different characters within the stories. Back at nursery most of the children were busy at the art area, making shields using a variety of different materials. They then used the coloured foil that they had used in their shields to explore looking through them in the garden making the garden to change colour.

Friday 21st

Today there was lots of role playing using scarfs and junk modelling, to create different superhero characters. The block area was used to create ramps where it became a high speed car racing track, it then became a house where a variety of resources were added to the play. We then ended the day with a meditation activity called spaceship to the moon this allowed us all to relax and feel calm.
