The children have been making the most of the lovely weather this week and have especially loved playing their favourite games outside, such as ‘The Farmer’s in His Den’. They have been practising taking turns and making sure that everyone is included in the games. The children also decided to bring the climbing frame into the garden and enjoyed experimenting by extending it and creating balancing walkways. The water trays were also in the garden this week. The children have been practising filling jugs, carrying them carefully and then pouring, trying not to spill. They have also been problem solving how to transport water from one tray to another using pipes.

PE is now in the PE Hall again, which the children are really enjoying. They have been developing skills such as walking on tiptoes, running, throwing, catching and bouncing balls. The PE equipment was also used for the children to experiment with different ways to move under, over and around.

We now have a new  information board for families at the ELC entrance, along with an ipad showing pictures of what the children have been doing in nursery each day. We hope this helps families to be able to see more of their child’s experience in nursery until we can have families coming in more and for our Stay and Play sessions. The information board will also tell you about your child’s day and share any updates and planned events. Please feel free to leave a comment on the back of the board or to give feedback to a member of staff.
