Monday<\/p>\n

We have been exploring a variety of table top games developing our counting, number recognition and turn taking skills. There has been lots of creativity at the art\/craft table using a selection of different coloured, textured materials including paints, fabrics, papers to explore creating pictures, wrapping objects, cutting and glueing – developing hand\/eye coordination and fine motor skills whilst sharing\/representing their ideas.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/p>\n

Some children created pictures outdoors representing their ideas using lots of different found objects from the garden e.g \u00a0sticks, stones, leaves, cones etc. \u00a0A few children were pretending to be police officers engaging in role\/ imaginative play demonstrating their knowledge of jobs people do. Music has been popular in nursery with several children exploring a variety of different musical instruments experimenting with the different sounds, learning the names and how to hold\/play the instruments. Some children also engaged in a Kodaly group time reinforcing rhythmic concepts whilst clapping, singing and marching.<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/p>\n

Today some of the children took photos on the I-Pad then used the photos to create their own \u2018Chatterpix\u2019 by following both verbal and on screen instructions. Their creations were then shared with their families on See Saw.- developing our knowledge and understanding of technology and explore how we can use them to share information. During our weekly visit to the shore we adhered to our shore charter rules to keep ourselves safe. Some children experimented using different sized and shaped stones\/pebbles to see which ones went the furthest the big ones or the small ones and which ones made the biggest splash! We explored making shapes on the shore using our bodies. We developed our language skills, and knowledge of our local environment, \u00a0by discussing what we were doing\/seeing whilst at the shore.

Thursday<\/p>\n

Today during our gym session the majority of children explored a variety of different gym equipment developing strength, balance, co-ordination through climbing, jumping, balancing, running and sharing space. In nursery several children were experimenting with the powder paints by mixing colours, exploring different consistencies then demonstrating responsibilty by tidying up when finished. Our mud kitchen was very busy outdoors with lots of experimenting using a variety of natural materials that were found\/collected in our nursery garden. Developing our language skills and sharing our ideas with one another whilst engaging in role\/imaginative play.
\n\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday<\/p>\n

Today all children practised our listening skills whilst listening to, and discussing , a social story called \u2018What To Do In A Fire Drill.\u2019 \u00a0All children then practised doing a fire drill \u201cIt\u2019s very noisy\u201d \u201cWe need to get out.\u201d \u00a0All the children did really well \ud83d\ude00. Some of the children designed and created their own bracelets, developing hand\/eye co ordination, by choosing which \u00a0shape\/size of beads they wanted to use – developing our shape recognition and awareness of size. Some children noticed a bush in the garden had some berries on it which prompted a discussion about what was safe to eat in the garden. The children concluded the berries were for the birds\ud83d\udc26\u200d\u2b1bto eat and not the children! Whilst developing our use of mathematical language a few children used\/developed their counting skills to count the steps, whilst chalking numbers 0-11 up one side of the steps and 0-11 down the other side thus further developing our number recognition\/awareness. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0During todays Bookbug session some children took turns to chose todays story and some other children offered suggestions of their favourite songs and rhymes – developing turn taking skills whilst listening to \u2018children\u2019s voice\u2019.<\/p>\n
