Sign a long<\/p>\n

We have been learning some of the signs for clothes this week at Sign a long.\u00a0 The ladies from the Pre-School Home Visiting Service brought in a clothes line with pegs and clothes items to peg up, as well as a teddy to dress, some lovely books to read about wearing clothes and a great mix and match wooden jigsaw to do and speak about.\u00a0 We have sung songs and practiced our signs using the resources that are left from the ladies for a week.<\/p>\n

We are really enjoying the time in the smaller groups and all the play and communication we get from the sessions.<\/p>\n

Den Trial<\/p>\n

You may have noticed a new big blue den in nursery this week.\u00a0 This is something which we have borrowed from another setting to try.\u00a0 This is a calm area that bairns can go in if they need some quiet time to read a story or to have a rest.\u00a0 We hope the bairns like it.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Out for a walk – bird spotting<\/p>\n

We have been fortunate to be out and about again this week in the community.\u00a0 This time we spotted some different birds, and wondered what they would be eating for their lunch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maps and roads<\/p>\n

The bairns have again been exploring maps, making roads and thinking about where they might go on their travels this week.\u00a0 We have been exploring different sizes, colours and forms that our maps that we create might take.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colder weather- exploring ice<\/p>\n

The colder weather, light snowfall and ice has provided a super discussion and exploration point this week.\u00a0 We loved seeing how the properties of water changed with the cold, turning to ice and then back to water again.\u00a0 The ice allowed us to make marks on the windows, explore the surface of puddles, shapes and patterns in frost, the noises of the crunch below our feet, the slippy surfaces and how our warm breath was seen in the cold air.\u00a0 Lots of fun, excitement and exploration and learn in nature!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Music outside, bubbles and balloons<\/p>\n

We have had a super time in both outside areas this week.\u00a0 The water ways have been a great success again as the bairns are able to pour and fill containers, then transport the water and watch it move through its path.\u00a0 The puddles have been a great source of fund and enjoyment as we have watched the water jump up as we jump in.<\/p>\n

We have used the coloured transparent shapes to make sun catcher cities.\u00a0 The coloured shapes cast on the ground have been interesting to change and create.<\/p>\n

We have also really enjoyed having the musical instruments available to play with outside, making beats and tunes together.\u00a0 The giant bubbles and balloons have also been a great hit, as have the space hoppers.\u00a0 What a lot of energy using, skill development and muscle building has been done this week outside.<\/p>\n

Numbers , colours, shapes and fun<\/p>\n

We have been speaking a lot about numbers and letters and again this week.\u00a0 We have been looking at “tens frames” and thinking about if they are full (making 10), or not full yet.<\/p>\n

We have also been playing with shapes to make pictures and patterns.\u00a0 Of course as always our block play has been amazing again this week.\u00a0 The structures and building are being explored and added to with creativity and planning.\u00a0 Also, the hollow blocks provides an opportunity for climbing on and challenging ourselves in risky play in a safe space.<\/p>\n

Long weekend next week<\/p>\n

Don’t forget about the long weekend next week.\u00a0 There will be no nursery on Friday 25th February or Monday 28th February.<\/p>\n

We hope you have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
