Our Sunshine Room and Rainbow Room parents, carers and families were invited into the nursery today to enjoy part of the session with their child. They were able to see our new freeflow system in operation and their children were happy to show them around our centre, both indoors and outdoors.
Our parents and carers came to ‘Make and Taste’ with us and we made lots of tasty healthy food. We prepared dishes such as fruity crumble tumblers, salsa wraps and fruity pizzas. We even made our own jam by mashing up strawberries and raspberries. The best part was tasting all our yummy food!
The staff and children from the Ladybird Room have planted some beautiful flowers in their new planters.
While outdoors, a group of children from the the Sunshine Room noticed that the flowers were attracting lots of bees. They watched them very closely and made a video of the bees collecting nectar to show all of the other children in the playroom.
Layla – “the bees suck all the nectar out of the flowers and then make it into honey”
Jay – “there’s lots of bees all over the flowers”
Dexter – “buzzy buzzy bees”
We were excited when a delivery of caterpillars arrived in the post!
We watched them ‘munch and crunch’ then get bigger and bigger. After turning themselves into chrysalides, we placed them carefully in a net and watched and waited while they ‘slept’. We came in on Monday morning to find that they had all changed into beautiful butterflies. We had to give them juicy fruits such as melon and oranges to make sure they didn’t get thirsty until we could release them outdoors.
