This week learning is… Exploring, Being Curious, Literacy, Mathematics, Sharing, Self-Esteem, Creativity, Motor Skills, Turn Taking, Technology, Outdoor Learning and Problem Solving.
This week in Nursery has been very different so this will be a short newsletter covering the Monday and Friday.
On Monday some children were busy designing and creating a tower using a range of blocks and loose parts. They showed skills to negotiate and problem solve a very wobbly tower. Whilst outside a group of children engaged playing team games such has What’s the time Mr Wolf. They used a range of numbers and used the correct language to describe time using past and o’clock.
Inside a group of children engaged with the adults to discuss the features of books. They showed a good recognition of the author, illustrator, the blurb even mentioning the spine of the book. They discussed the start of where to read that supported their own voices.
We enjoyed the company of Mrs Laing this morning and the children explored being very crafty with skills that promoted hand and eye co-ordination. This interest arose from a child that spent time being very crafty over the days away from the nursery. The skills shown were sewing, threading, stuffing, using scents etc to create cushions. Lots of discussions, sharing ideas and to help each other to problem solve.
Lots of interest shown in the new areas with children engaging with a range of figures and puppets too.
