We welcomed a new child this week who has settled in really well thanks to our current children being so kind and supportive! 🙂

We wrote some ‘Secret messages’ for our ‘Nursery Trow’ because he’s a bit cheeky and sneaks around our Nursery without us seeing.

We helped Miss Young bake some Gingerbread men to take home, we discovered when we checked the oven that they had  escaped  and we had
to go on a hunt to find them.

We ended up finding them all hiding in the library.

Miss Young then read us the full ‘Gingerbread Man’ story.

We’ve used the loose parts and playdough well this week to make some great imaginative creations.

We worked together to fill the container all the way to the top and said “Its full up”.

 

We’ve been adding lots of great creations to our Learning Stories.

We sung and danced around in the rain taking turns of the new umbrella.

We practiced our ball skills using different kinds of balls in the multi-court with the nice day, we could throw, catch, bounce and roll them.

This week we combined our Numeracy with The Children’s interest of cars and had matching activity out where they matched the number on the cards to the toy cars.

We went on another gingerbread man hunt, this time we

found 11 of them running around in the gym hall!

 

With the paint this week we used rollers instead of brushes and looked at the different colours we mixed and the pattern each roller made.

We made “A castle” using the blocks this week, great team work was done to plan how to do it and then create it.

 

This then led on to bring the Duplo Castle set out which we were great at building independently, even the tricky bits! We especially liked the “Fire breathing dragon” that lived in the castle.

We had a visit from ‘Shelby’ and ‘Little Dude’, we learnt lots of facts about tortoises from the parent who brought them in and got to feed them some flowers too. Thank you for visiting us! 🙂

One of the children told us “If I was a tortoise I’d eat apples”.

We made our own necklaces and bracelets using the large selection of new beads and were very proud of them.

We practiced some sports day events at the football pitch, it was great to have so much space and some suntoo!

The Primary Sixes came to speak to us about Bike Safety and the importance of helmets and did some helmet pictures with us.

– Nature –

 

We visited the Pond and found lots of things in the surroundings, We seen lots of Painted Lady Butterflies, bumblebees and some spiders too,

We were managing taking risks by climbing the trees independently.

 

We said we were ‘Mams’ and we were ‘Cooking’ for our Babies.

We used loose parts from around the playground and said we were adding “Sugar”. We then sat down and said we were ‘Having Dinner’.

We said the blocks were ‘Raspberry and Strawberry chewing gum’.

We wanted to take back some of the nature items from the playground and chose water and colouring to mix in with them.

  We said the gloop was “Sticky”.

We expressed an interest in role playing Doctors so took out the Hospital box which sparked lots of conversations and learning around job roles.

Playing ‘Doctors and Nurses’. 

We took down Doctor notes for each ‘patient’ and helped them get better with bandages and ‘Strawberry medicine’.

We requested to take the car mat and cars outdoors.

 

We made a fresh batch of playdough and picked orange food colouring to add to it, we said we thought the new children that were visiting would like orange!

We used the paddling pool for something different this week, we thought it was very cosy and comfy!
