Our Learning week beginning 22nd January 2018

Wow, what a fantastic week we have had learning about our Scottish culture and heritage.

Our Scottish themed snacks have had such a variety of flavours, some of which we like and some we really don’t like!  We have tasted Porridge, home made Scotch Broth, Cranachan, Oatcakes and Cheese and of course, Haggis Neeps and Tatties.

 

 

We have also enjoyed listening to Scottish Country Dance Music as well as the Pipes and Drums.  We watched videos of highland dancers and tried of copy some of their moves.  Mrs Olford, Miss Nelson and Mrs Prentice also taught us steps used in familiar Scottish Country Dances.  We have uploaded some of the videos to our Learner Journals.

We have also been practicing our favourite Scottish songs.  Can you guess which one this is?

Next week during Stay, Learn and Play we will practice our songs further with our carers as well as continue learning rhymes and identify the rhyming words.

 

 

 

The Christmas Story

What a fabulous week of learning we have had!

Thank you to everyone for supporting your child and their performance in the retelling of The Christmas Story.  Weren’t they wonderful!!!

Our Learning week ending 29th September 2017

This week we have continued with our learning about Autumn

We have been investigating trees and learning to name different parts of the tree.  We have been looking at the different leaves and seeds that have fallen from trees.  The conker shells are very spikey and jaggy but inside the shells are soft and smooth but the conker is hard and smooth.  Ava decided that the Sycamore seeds are just like fidget spinners!

The apples have also fallen from the apple tree in our garden.

We have been gathering the fallen apples and picking others to cook and taste.  We used our fine motor skills to manipulate the knives and chop the apples before cooking them into tasty stewed apples.

We have many more apples on our tree so next week we will be trying different apples recipes.

 

 

Christmas

We have been very busy in the nursery learning about all things Christmas. We used our painted hands to make Christmas cards and a variety of a paint and glitter to create the perfect tea light candle gifts.
The Christmas tree was put up and decorated and shiny paper chains made to decorate our party room. Many Santa letters were also written. Hopefully we will get what we are wishing for.
Last week we really enjoyed having a Christmas dinner of turkey, sprouts, sausages in bacon, stuffing and roast potatoes, it was lovely and most of the children tried it.
We have been learning all about the Christmas story and the children have worked really hard to learn their lines and perform their version of the Nativity. Everyone has a role, whether it be an actor or a member of the angel choir. Our Bethlehem scenery was created by the children using their drawing, painting and cutting skills and I’m sure you’ll agree it looks fantastic. Well done to everyone.
We will return after the holidays on Tuesday 7th January 2014. Have a lovely holiday and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all the staff at Knightsridge EYC.
