Hello everyone, Here is a quick look at what we have been up to in nursery this week…..<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

Throughout the week the children have been demonstrating skills using a variety of technology in their play from using the smart board to complete jigsaws, selecting the right pieces to fit in the correct place supporting hand and eye coordination. To working with the adult after a short survey in naming the the play shed literacy area creating a graph using the various buttons. To using various apps on the iPad such as Chatter PIX. They applied\u00a0 creative skills to produce a video featuring\u00a0 singing, specialist stickers and a colourful background as well as their name.<\/p>\n

Some children were demonstrating their estimating skills through using the bug catcher game. They needed to guess which had the most or least amount of coloured butterflies. Then used skills to catch them.<\/p>\n

Outside the interest in a range of physical activities continues with games of football, rugby and tag. Also we have seen some children enjoying yoga too, along with Kodaly sessions with Mrs Laing.<\/p>\n

Also this week lots of interest in using the mud kitchen, digging, mixing, creating imaginative play along with bug hunting, especially the worms. Some children have worked with an adult to develop more literacy in the area creating a mud recipe, taking ideas from the children’s mind map<\/p>\n

On Thursday we celebrated World book day, and how brilliant were all the costumes worn and throughout the day the children engaged in an array of activities linked to a range of different story books. We also created a story book that captured the children’s characters and created a short mystery story of who stole Winnie the poohs honey pot.<\/p>\n
