Welcome back to Nursery! We have been hearing the bairns Festive holiday news and they were all quick to reconnect with friends, plan their play and share ideas.

Outdoor Play (Tuesday-Friday)

The bairns have explored the snow by building snowmen, sliding down the path using different materials and loose parts, digging and climbing.  They have explored using paint on snow and different tools they can use to do this. The bairns showed an interest in ice, how it’s formed and how it can be broken or melted.  After experiencing this outside, the bairns watched a short video about icebreakers in Canada and saw the large ships powering through the ice using their sharp bow.

Google Maps (Wednesday-Friday)

Using Google Street View to find where they, family members, and friends live has been a focus this week and a valuable opportunity to model and use directional language and demonstrate a knowledge of the local community and beyond. The bairns used the nursery as a starting point to find their homes, using familiar landmarks to guide them in the right direction. One of the road trips had a pit stop to Tesco to buy some sausages.

Jumpstart January (Tuesday-Friday)

We are taking part in JumpStart January which means moving our bodies for 15 minutes every day.  We asked the bairns for their ideas which included skipping, running, going for a walk and a dance party.  We began our JumpStart January with a session in the hall using balls and hula hoops.  The bairns kicked, threw, caught, dribbled and rolled the balls.  This week has also included a Joe Wicks workout, Cosmic Kids yoga and the balance bikes.

Play and Learning (Tuesday-Friday)
