There’s been great excitement in Ladywell Nursery School this week as the children have decided they would like some fish to look after.  They have been busy cleaning out the tank and setting it up in preparation.  Thank you to everybody who has donated to nursery funds as this has enabled us to buy a water pump, aquatic plants and decorative stones for the tank.

Next installment… the children are going to choose what fish they would like to have for the tank and are going on a visit to buy these.  If you have any spare pennies lying around the children have made a donation box to help us buy the fish.

Thank You.

The children have been busy outdoors where they were making bird feeders, developing their fine motor skills. They picked up cheerios to thread through a pipe cleaner helping to develop their hand and eye co-ordination skills.  They then placed them onto the tree branches for the birds to enjoy.

The children had a great time going out on an outdoor walk looking for 2D shapes around the environment.  They also played a fun game where they jumped onto slabs that were 2D shaped.

The children had a great time investigating dinosaur fossils this week then creating their own.  They were developing their mathematical skills when measuring out ingredients to make salt dough.  They took turns to use the circle cutters and dinosaurs.  Afterwards they enjoyed painting their fossils choosing what colour of paint they would like.

The children had fun using an electronic Bee-Bot to navigate him on our number mat.  They learned how to make him go forwards and backwards etc as well as developing the children’s number and turn taking skills.

Well done boys and girls!
