The children noticed the spider webs in the garden which had dew on them. This led to lots of discussions about different spiders and what the children like or dislike about them. The children have been making different webs using wool woven round card and glitter sprinkled onto gluey patterns on paper. They have been singing Incy Wincy Spider with some pouring water through the guttering outside to ‘wash the spider out’!

The children have been showing great interest in harvesting the potatoes which were planted earlier in the year. They are lookng forward to tasting them at snack time. The potatoes have been sorted into different sizes, colours and textures.

The children in the Two’s room have been identifying different insects after someone spotted a butterfly in the garden. This interest led to choosing ‘ A Very Busy Spider’ as their story of the week.

 

They have also been enjoying playing in the bigger nursery for part of their day providing them with the opportunity to experience making choices and developing their independence in a bigger play space.
