Outdoor Play (Weeks 1 & 2)

The bairns engaged in muddy puddle play, a water slide, chalk drawing, ice painting and digging in the sand pit.  Outside the quiet room, the bairns were discussing how the concrete had cracked.  “I think a dinosaur came and stomped on the ground.”

Expressive Arts (Weeks 1 & 2)

Our bairns are very interested in creating at the craft area, making painted pictures, models, drawings and even a laptop!  These creative activities help to develop fine motor skills used for emergent literacy.  We had music with Mrs Garrick in the hall.  The bairns used beaters to keep to the timing of the drum.

Literacy (Weeks 1 & 2)

The bairns engage in reading all over the nursery.  Jigsaw puzzles are also a great activity in preparation for reading – recognising shapes, colours and connecting the bigger picture.

Technology (Weeks 1 & 2)

The bairns have taken lots of interesting selfies this week!  We have many proficient woodworkers who have been making and adding to models of aircraft, boats, galleys and more.
