In the creative area the children have been experimenting using spaghetti as a writing tool, they have also been finding letters from their names and recreating them on the mats with play dough. They have been taking turns to mix the powder paint and share the colours they have mixed.
We have been listening to a variety of music from other cultures and countries as we celebrated a Polish celebration named “Fat Thursday”. We have had the opportunity to explore a variety of instruments and the sounds they make.
“Fat Thursday” was celebrated with lots of lovely cakes pastries sweets crisps and fruit! Thank you to all everyone who donated food, the children’s faces were a picture when they saw what they could have on this special day rather than their usual piece of fruit! Paczki and Faworki were on offer and most children tried these special Polish treats.
Lyndsay our dental health co-ordinator was out to make sure we were brushing our teeth after all those special treats!
Board games have been played both in our literacy and maths areas encouraging children to take turns follow the rules and complete the games they are playing, whilst learning letters and numbers.
The children have been out in all weathers and have been keen to explore the snow and ice. The children are encouraged to be independent in dressing and to wear appropriate out door clothing, however we are aware that they can still get wet, we ask you to provide a change of clothing on their pegs as we do not keep items of clothing in the centre. They have been searching for items in a number hunt and exploring the nursery grounds.
