Monday 30th September<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

All the children are becoming more confident with daily routines as they independently place their lunch boxes and water bottles back on their shelf before brushing their teeth.<\/p>\n

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

Today has been a day of being creative outside with loose parts and different materials.<\/p>\n

Today a group of children were very proud of the den that they had made to protect the buggies from the rain. They helped each other to lift the stand to put the blanket underneath to stop it from blowing away and helped add the blanket and find tools to make the blanket stay in place. Great team work!<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

\u201cKing of the castle!\u201d a child said as they climbed on top of the crates. Another child also joined in and they have now turned the crates into boats \ud83d\udea4 \u201cI\u2019m the captain\u201d said one of the children.<\/p>\n

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

Tuesday 1st October<\/h1>\n

Today a group of children used the big tree as an ice cream van and a Pok\u00e9mon house. They said \u201cit has 51 ice cream flavours, my favourite is chocolate and toffee and mines is vanilla and strawberry.\u201d They were able to discuss as menu and what a menu is used for as well as talking about how they would keep the ice cream cold using the freezer.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Today a group of children helped build with the tarpaulin and bungee cords. Once we had pegged it down they decided they didn\u2019t wants to us it as a den and wanted to use it as a climbing frame and slide instead. They were able to risk assess and talk about how we could keep safe using it. \u201cIf someone is underneath no one is on top.\u201d \u201cWe talk to our friends to se how they are feeling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Today a group of children waited patiently and turn took by using their communication skills to wait for their turn on the rope swing. They confidently discussed how to stay say at the swing. \u201cOne at a time and stand back\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Today a group of children explored mark making using different materials today. The group of children used the dry mud to create shapes and pictures in the mud using their fingers and sticks.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Wednesday 2nd October<\/h1>\n

Today a group of children helped to prepare a baking activity for snack after the kitchen had given the nursery some extra bananas. We looked at our resources we had in the cupboard and selected banana scones. They used skills to make bread crumbs, mashed and mix and cut out. Along with counting skills up to 24 They enjoyed eating the scones either with honey or butter along with fresh strawberries and raspberry fruit mix. They all agreed that they were amazing and yummy!<\/p>\n

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

Today, groups of children have been creating a mind map to think about who helps us at home. Children were able to think about all the different family, friends and carers and what they do for us to make us feel safe, loved and cared for. Children shared ideas such as \u201ccooking dinner for me\u201d \u201ctake me to nursery\u201d \u201cgive me cuddles\u201d \u201chelp me learn\u201d \ud83d\udd8b\ufe0f \ud83d\udc95<\/p>\n

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

Today a group of children were discussing holidays and asked to create a beach. \u201cThat beach looks so good\u201d. With a lot of discussion about beaches and what we could find on a beach we worked together to find resources to create our own beach. The children respected the resources and placed them nicely in the sand and water. We need sharks and dolphins \u201cthat\u2019s a big shark and that\u2019s a small one.\u201d The children were discussing different animals and their different sizes. \u201cI\u2019ve seen a dolphin when it was very hot\u201d. This then lead to conversations about what we would wear in hot countries and how we would travel to get on holiday. \u201cWe need to wear sun cream and sun hats when it\u2019s hot\u201d. \u201cI\u2019m going on a aeroplane to go to London\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll be sitting on a aeroplane to go to Tenerife\u201d. Another peer then said \u201cI got a boat before\u201d. Through observation of watching the group of children playing with the beach they were discussing what would happen if a shark bit them \u201cyou would phone an ambulance they help you.\u201d \u201cYeah you would go to hospital and the doctor would make you better.\u201d They also discussed personal experiences and different holidays they have been on with their families. After this they then role played with the different animals from the sea.<\/p>\n
