Ladywell Nursery School

This week in Ladywell nursery the children have been developing their mathematical skills through making playdough. They helped to count out how many jars of ingredients they needed and were learning about halves when talking about adding half a jar of oil.  They took turns to place the ingredients inside the bowl and stir the playdough.  They then added herbs to the playdough that they picked from the nursery garden.  Afterwards they had lots of fun making their own creations and used their senses to describe what the playdough smelt like.

The children have had fun in our sensory room where they enjoyed exploring rice.  They appeared to like the sound that the rice made and how it felt in their hands.

Following on from when the children were investigating minibeasts in the garden the children have been busy outside digging for worms to make a wormery.  We spoke about how to care for living creatures and what you need to do to look after them.
