Hello everyone! We hope you have had lots of fun in the holidays and are excited to be back at nursery! Here is a look at what we have been up to this week…..

 

Some children have been speaking about Halloween and making requests about songs they would like to sing and dance to. Children requested to have the Halloween dressing up and books which nearly every child engaged in.

Children have been having a go at making pom poms today! They all persevered and showed good resilience. The children chose their own colours and threaded the card and only had help to tie a knot at the end.

Children have been engaged in a lot of craft activities such as cutting and sticking to make their own paper shapes and making clay models.

A group of children were inspired by the haunted house decoration and wanted to make their own in the block area! The children worked together to create the house being careful what shapes they needed and drew their own ghosts and zombies!

Some children wanted to make their own skeletons and were able to get help to draw around their bodies to make a life size one! This encouraged discussion about the bones in our bodies.

Outside, some children created their own shelter where they invited others to join a tea party! This tea party included table service, cupcakes and lavender tea. There was also 2 DJ’s! The children showed great team work and communication skills as they shared their ideas with one another.

We had another great forest session where we did lots of exploring. Children went on a bear hunt, made their own tree from strings and berries and also toasted their own marshmallows on the fire where they decided how toasty they wanted them to be!

Flynn has been developing his number skills as he writes numbers on a grid in the garden with an adult.

Timothy has been very independent this week helping his peers and he adults out without being asked. When Timothy notices and area needs some tidying he will do what he can to make the area look lovely again.

Sophie and Cora were interested in what noise their cereal was making this morning…..”Can you hear it Cora? Snap, crackle and pop!”

Reminders:

• Please remember to send a spare change of clothing with your child to nursery as well as a jacket as it is now getting colder and our children love playing in all weathers!
• 30th October is the Halloween disco night from 6pm-7pm
• If anyone has any junk they are wishing to get rid of we will take! Any old boxes/cardboard boxes or baskets, kitchenware, table cloths, piping/guttering or any other household items please let the staff know! Thank you

 

 

Have a great weekend! See you next week!
