Learning in Nursery this Week

We have had a super week at nursery this week.  Our interest in frogs and life cycles continues.

We have collected frog spawn to observe in the nursery setting.  Already these have turned to tadpoles which has been really exciting to see.

The life cycle books and cards have helped the children think about what will happen next.  As we imagined what the fogs will look like at the end of the cycle, we used this as inspiration to paint our own frogs and make a display to illustrate the life cycle of a frog.

We decorated hard boiled eggs this week, with lots of different colours and patterns.  .

 

We enjoyed an Easter egg hunt too.

As always, we are learning to move our bodies and our hands/fingers as we make marks and create our own pictures.  This week, the bairns were interested in using chalks in the playground areas, on the ground and on vertical surfaces.  This is helping us use lots of different muscles, which really helps us before we learn to write.  We made some “street art” this week.

There has also been lots of building structures again with our blockplay, This helps with imagination, problem solving and collaboration amongst other things.

Reading stories is a big part of our nursery week.  There is always time for a story.

We have explored the cold wet snow this week and had an opportunity to speak again about the changing temperature outside.

Technology is also a bit part of our nursery learning.  We are learning how to get the best out of our whiteboard at the moment.

There is always so much to explore, investigate and learn about in so many different playful ways in nursery.

There are still some items of lost property which are looking to be claimed.  We will keep these for a couple of weeks after the holidays before clearing out again.
