Winter Ready

Dear Parents/Carers,

As we all have noticed the weather is changing.  Can we ask that you bring your child to nursery with wellie boots on or be prepared to leave wellie boots at nursery; this makes it easier for children to still access outdoor play.
Children can bring hats, scarves and gloves and their key worker will
help them to get these on for outdoor play.

Please remember to LABEL all belongings this helps to ensure things aren’t lost or taken home by another child accidentally.

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Halloween Activities Outdoors

 “I’ve never seen a green pumpkin before” -Ayla

“This one is bumpy”-Harry

 “It is cold” -Kiera

 “This pumpkin is heavy”- Mazie  “This pumpkin is big and round” -Conor

On Monday the morning and afternoon children explored pumpkins of different sizes. They also explored other root vegetables like squash!  They worked together to scoop out the inside of one of the pumpkins, exploring the contents. The children in the afternoon helped to turn an acorn squash into a bird feeder for our garden.

On Tuesday the children have enjoyed exploring a sensory set up.

“ohhh Mrs Bett this is yucky and fluffy” -Hannah

Busy Wee Chefs

Following on from children’s interest in preparing snack and discussions from books, we made blueberry muffins for snack this morning!

The children took part in lots of discussion about what was healthy and what foods we should eat to stay healthy. Our wee people showed confidence in recognising numbers and explored a variety of mathematical language as they measured their ingredients, learning some new language along the way!

As children were asked to ‘fold in the blueberries FO “what’s folding?” TC “I know it’s like this (demonstrates folding blueberries into mixture) folding makes it all go together”.

FO “are these healthy cos sugar is not healthy?”

When the muffins came out of the oven most children ate them.
SW saying “I don’t like blueberries but I like them now”

The children listened well within shared discussion following through a series of instructions to complete the process

We agreed they tasted good but we couldn’t eat them every day because they had sugar in them.

What a lovely treat, well done!!

Busy chefs at snack

Over the past couple of weeks the children have enjoyed helping to prepare snack. This has sparked lots of conversations and opportunities for learning all about food and where it comes from.

Miss Wilkins and the children prepared pizza together, chopping different vegetables and choosing toppings. They discussed what foods are healthy.

The children visited the nursery orchard before making delicious apple crumble to see how apples grow and through the baking experience with Mrs Bett they have learnt apples can be eaten in different ways!

We have recently planted some of our own herbs and vegetables in our greenhouse, which we hope will grow over Winter to help us make new snacks in the new year. We are learning all about being sustainable and growing our own food, helping to reduce waste.

Learner’s Journey’s Workshop

Miss Robertson hopes to run a quick session for parents to show you the basics of accessing your child’s observations and how to contribute to their Learning Journal from home.

This will be on Thursday 24th October at 12.15 for the morning parents and 1.30 for the afternoon parents.

If you are interested in attending could you please sign up on the sheet across from the reception desk.  It would also be handy if you could bring along a mobile device with access to the Learning Journal site, but not to worry if you cant as iPad’s can be provided.
