This week in nursery the children are exploring colour.  They will  be participating in a variety of activities that will encourage them to match, mix, name and sort colours.  They will also be learning about shades of colour (light and dark).

Here are a few ideas so you can join in with this topic at home.

Colour Walk 

This is an easy, no preparation activity.  Simply talk about the colours you see when out and about, either in the car, at the shops or the park.  You can talk about the colours of cars, flowers, front doors, things you are buying from the supermarket. The list is endless.

Scavenger Hunt

You can hide items of your chosen colour, indoors or in the garden, and ask your child to find them.  If your short on time, you can do this activity without hiding anything.  Simply choose your colour and wait to see what objects your child brings back.

Colour Mixing

If you are feeling adventurous, why not get the paints out and experiment with colour mixing. We have included a chart to help.  Remember, it’s OK if you end up with a dark brown splodge.

The most important thing is that you and your child have fun.

September Break

Nursery will be closed on Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th September, 2018.
