It all began when a little green clay glitter mushroom arrived in the nursery garden, no one knew how it got there as it certainly hadn’t grown like a flower. Each day the children visited the spot to see if anything else changed. Soon there were chimes on the trees, ribbons billowing in the wind. The children decided to make some small houses from recycled junk and coloured shape jewels. They left them under the trees to find out if they would attract fairy folk or indeed smurfs. Then a letter arrived and so the fairy garden began to be created, as each day something mystical attracted a new fairy to the garden. Why not have a look in the garden yourself.
Elsewhere in the nursery the children have been learning about the different times within their day and what they liked about those times. They haven spoke about the activities they attended on certain days and whether those were attended in the morning, afternoon or after dinner. Some of the children set themselves a challenge to see how quickly it took them to complete the shape sorter game and recorded this in a chart. A few of the children decided that they would create their own clocks, can you see how well their number formation is? Have a look at the times within our day display in the playroom.
The Ladybird Group Play on Pedals family learning session was extremely well attended, with children proudly demonstrating their growing balancing and pedaling skills. There was even some younger siblings confidently joining in.
