exploring sound

Children have been exploring sound using a variety of different resources found around the nursery.

Through this we have been learning about loud and quiet, soft and hard and using cause and effect we find out  what we need to do to make different sounds.

On the photographs below you can see how exciting and fun it is to discover sound.

Play on Pedals with birth to three families

Children and their parents/carers had fantastic fun in the first session of play on pedals. Together they played games  which helped them identify and name the different parts of their bike. Parents/carers were then guided in how to fit a helmet properly to ensure maximum safety and how to adjust the bike for their children.
