This week in I.E.Y.C we have been watching the birds in our garden.  We have been feeding them to attract them, then the children have been making charts to see what type of birds visit our garden.  We have seen magpies, blackbirds, sparrows, seagulls and a Robin.  We watched a a you tube video and learned lots of names of other birds.  We love the peacock and some children have been drawing and making their own peacocks.

Following on from potion and spell making over the Halloween period the children have taken part in a few scientific experiments.  Making volcanoes and lava lamps were the most popular.

We have spent some time discussing how tall we are and putting different objects in height order.  We drew round the children and have a height chart in the Nursery.  The children have been using lots of different mathematical language during these activities.

We have been working hard on pattern this week and a lot of the children have grasped the concept of continuing patterns and making their own patterns.   This would be something you could try at home to support you children’s learning.
