Hello everyone we hope you have had a great week. Here is a look at what we have been up to in nursery this week…

 

Our children have been showing a sustained interest in music and bands. They have been creating their own band called Joey and the S’s where they set up their own stages outside and performed for a range of audiences. They also came up with their own look of pony tails and rolled up trousers and took turns singing songs that they were familiar with from Michael Jackson to the Batman theme tune.

The children have been spending a lot of time outdoors this week where ball games has been a huge hit with children continuing their passion for football, tennis and target practice.

Children have also shared an interest in water as they created their own dam in the garden using a range of materials which they used to block off the water to stop it flooding the playground. They did this with no adult support, just from their own shared ideas. Timothy, Isla and Charlotte also shared an interest at lunch time by asking questions such as “where does water come from?” and “how do we get it?” to which we spoke about the water cycle and how it works.

Charlotte has been showing an interest in keeping healthy as she speaks to peers and adults about healthy food, being a vegetarian and doing exercising where she created her own equipment using loose parts.

 

We had a great first session at the forest location this week where children shared they were excited to return again next week! Children explored bugs and how we look after them such as worms and woodlice, what we could use sticks for where children used them as tools and using their imagination to see what we could turn the trees into.

We welcomed Mrs McNeil to the nursery this week where she felt very welcomed by the children. They showed her round the room and invite her to play games.

 

Reminders:

• World book day is on Thursday 7th March where children have the option to dress up if they want to however there is no pressure to do so. If they didn’t want to dress up they could always come in their pyjamas with their favourite bedtime story! We can’t wait to see what stories you bring in!
• The Book Fair will be open to nursey families after school on Tuesday 12^th March and Wednesday 13th March.
• Forest is on a Tuesday where we will meet at Waterstone Crook car park between 9:00am-9:15am then head up to the forest location behind Forgan Arts Centre. Please dress your child in lots of lovely warm clothing, it’s better to have too much than too little, we can always remove layers if they get too hot.
• Parent chats are beginning the week starting 11th March, please see a member of nursery staff to arrange a time slot
