Let’s Build A Den!!

Today in nursery we decided to have a fun Friday and we built a den!!

We used lots of different things to build it, scarves, furniture, blankets and a coat stand. So many different fun things. The children were problem solving, trying to figure out how to get the den to stay up. There was also lots of communication and team work.

Here are some pictures of us building it.

 

Could you build a den in your home? What would you need to do this?

Here is a few pictures which may give you some ideas!

Happy den building 🙂

Let’s be kind

Today in nursery we have been talking about people that we are not able to see at the moment and people we are missing. We made lovely cards for our local care home residents too. Hope they enjoy. 😊

Is there anyone you are missing? Why don’t you make them a beautiful picture or card and post it to them. Everyone loves to get a surprise picture or card through the post.

Lets keep everyone smiling!

Here is a nice story for you all to listen too.

It’s snowing again!

Hello everyone, can you believe it we have snow again. Let’s use this time to try these activities again.

Sledging 

Have you got a your sledge ready? You can enjoy sledging around your garden with some help from mum and dad or you could go to your local park and enjoy sledging down some hills.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a sledge an old baking tin or a bin bag works a treat 🙂 let’s see what other things you can find that can be used in the snow.

 

Do You Want To Build A Snowman?

You could go into your garden and build your own Olaf!

What do you need to build a snowman?

 

Snow Painting

Let’s add some colour to the snow.

If you have some paint then add a little bit into either a plastic sports bottle with some water or a spray bottle and shake it until its all mixed.

If you don’t have some paint at home then add some food colouring to a bottle of water and create your masterpiece using that.

 

Take It Indoors

If you’re getting too cold out there then why not bring some snow indoors. Get a large bowl or a tray, fill it with snow and continue to enjoy exploring it…how long will it last inside before it melts? Why does that happen?

You can also use your paint or food colouring mixture inside, but brushes dipped in to the mixture may work better indoors (and be a bit less messy).

 

Please enjoy the snow, enjoy playing with your family and siblings and creating amazing things with it.

Please add photos of your experiences onto seesaw so we can see what fun you have gotten up to today.

Let’s relax with some yoga!

Hello, we have got yet another fun experience for you to celebrate the Children’s Mental Health Week this week!

We all know that exercising and stretching our muscles is super important for our bodies to grow strong and healthy but it’s also important for our mind, too! By doing some slow stretches and breathing exercises, our brain has got a chance to chill out and have a little rest – and we all need that sometimes, don’t we?

Why don’t we start with some breathing exercises to get us going? Here we go!

Lie down on the floor, make yourself feel comfortable and stretch out tall! With your hands on your stomach, breathe in, letting your hands lift off your tummy as if they’re on a balloon that’s getting blow up! How high can your tummy go?!
As your breathe out, let your hands return to your stomach as if all of the air from the balloon is escaping. Can you do it five (5) times?

WOW – that was some deep breathing!

Now that we’ve got our breathing under control, here comes yoga – and guess what? It’s about a certain, very very veeeryyy hungry, caterpillar!

We hope you enjoyed doing some breathing exercises and some yoga. Go and get a drink of water to keep nice and hydrated after having a great go at exercising and stretching out the muscles!

Everyday is a good day for a cake!

That’s right – there is always a good reason to have a cake and relax!

As we’re talking all about Children’s Mental Health this week, we thought that it would be a good time to bake a cake together… And then eat it with a cuppa or with a book/story!

Here is a simple recipe for a banana bread – and since it’s made out of bananas, it’s a little bit healthy, too, right? 😉

These are the ingredients we need:

1 egg

2 bananas

3/4 cup of caster sugar

1 and a half cups of self-raising flour

and half a table spoon of butter

Now that we have all of the ingredients we need, here are the steps to follow:

  1. Mash all your bananas until they are all smooth:

2. Add sugar to the mashed bananas and mix it all together:

3. Add butter to your mixture and keep mixing:

4. Add beaten eggs and keep mixing:

5. Then add all of the flour and, you guessed it, mix it all together:

6. When all of the ingredients are combined together, pour the mixture into a baking tin:

7. Now pop it into the oven for approximately one (1) hour at 190C.

8. Relax and enjoy your delicious banana bread – great work!
