As we continue our theme of New Beginnings, we have been looking more closely at growing. Some children enjoyed a walk to the grotto to look at the plants and flowers and others explored what we have growing in our own playground.\u00a0 The children enjoyed investigating the feel of the bark and participated in some tree hugging. We received a delivery of logs to add to our outdoor area and have been using these for rubbings as well encouraging our balance.<\/p>\n

Another young visitor was received into the nursery with much enthusiasm. \u00a0Adam came to visit with his mum this week.\u00a0\u00a0 This allowed the children to see how much a baby grows in a short space of time.\u00a0 The water tray was used as a baby bath the following day, where many of the children enjoyed preparing the dolls for a bath.<\/p>\n

Throughout the week we have been learning lots of new words in connection with growing and have been using these creatively.\u00a0 All these experiences have sparked our creatively and encouraged us in our use of the playdough, paint and drawing.<\/p>\n
