This week the children decided to create a hospital and an ambulance. They have been setting up hospital beds, a reception area and medical supplies as well as making sure the ambulance is comfy for all the patients. The children have been enthusiastically practising wrapping bandages around each other and the nursery staff and  the children have even learned how to make a sling.

In the garden the children have been looking for shapes, having a garden tidy up and collecting leaves for craft activities.

We have also been trying to match shapes and use number blocks to order numbers and count.

It is always lovely to hear about our children’s achievements outside of nursery and to share them with everyone. A huge ‘Well Done’ to Grace and her little brother Isaac, who have raised over £1000 for the PACS1 Research Foundation by taking part in the Pump Track Challenge. They are both well on their way to completing 150 laps each.  Another huge ‘Well Done’ to Harry who took part in a running race with his mum. He showed real determination to complete the race.

The children enjoyed printing poppies for Remembrance Day and we came together for a moments silence at 11.00am on 11/11/2001.

We have also investigated mark making with stones after one of our children wanted a stone ‘opened’. The charcoal from last week’s fire pit was saved and used for mark making by many of the children and one child drew circles to represent his numbers.

Outside we have been investigating dinosaur shadows created by the Autumnal sunshine.

The children continue to be interested in people who help us and our Firefighters were at the ready with the fire station they created.
