Cooking up a storm
We were cooking up a storm in the mud kitchen this afternoon…. lots of mud pies, cherry pies and a strawberry pie too. We might need to make up our own mud kitchen recipe book at this rate!
Mud kitchens provide great outdoor learning spaces for young children. Learners enjoy getting hands on playing with mud and water, whilst also developing important physical, social and emotional skills and it’s also lots of fun!
As you can see, it can get very messy so please can we remind you not to send your children into nursery with best clothes and also bring along a spare set of clothes each day just in case your child needs a change after some muddy play, especially with the changes in weather when we will continue to play outdoors in all kinds of weathers….so wellies are probably best!
Our Learning Story- Pirates
Using the link below you can have a look at our planning and learning for our current topic of Pirates which has been developed from the children’s interests within the nursery.
The learning story will continue to develop as the children’s interests develop so please continue to check the story for regular updates and feel free to comment or share any learning from home that may have links to our Pirate Play here at nursery. We would love to hear about it…
Ahoy Mateys!
There be lots of Pirate Adventures happening all over the Island of Bathgate West this week… we have been listening to lots of Pirate stories and singing our Pirate song all week. Look out for our Learning story link which will be sent out very soon to show you the story of our learning here at Bathgate West and how our play is developed throughout the children’s interests. Here are just a few clues as to what has been going on in the nursery this week…
A pirate ship was created outside using blocks…
Treasure was uncovered in the sand….
Maps helped us find Skeleton island….
And a few Pirates have been lurking around stealing treasure!
We are looking forward to extending our Pirate play next week after the September holiday, so we will see all you scallywags back on board our Pirate ship next Wednesday!
Ahoy Me Hearties…. have a great weekend 🙂
