Happy New Year Everyone. It was so good having everyone back in today. The children were very excited to tell us what they got from Santa. We had great fun in the nursery today, craft table , playing games, jigsaws, drawing with chalk and we went outside too.

We also introduced ‘serving yourself at snack and dinner’. The children enjoyed putting their own food on the plates and choosing how much food they wanted. There was good communication about passing plates of food and jugs of water. Great work everyone 🙂

Caterpillars

We have enjoyed learning about caterpillars this week at nursery. The children have enjoyed watching our own caterpillars grow and get bigger, they are very excited for when they turn into butterflies. We have been making a big caterpillar for the wall display this week. The children enjoyed cutting, sticking and colouring in a circle to make the caterpillar bigger. Some of the children enjoyed the playdough and making caterpillars with it and some enjoyed copying different kinds of butterflies from the ipad and drawing them. They all done so well and took their time 🙂

Learning about Dinosaurs and Volcanos

The barins have loved learning all about different types of dinosaurs and making lovely wall displays with their artwork. We have also been learning about volcanos, and we did an experiment that looked like a real volcano. One of the barins took in a lava rock that was found in Shetland a long time ago, it was very interesting and everyone had lots of questions.
