Hello Everyone  🙂

We hope everyone is doing well 🙂

Everyone knows that Harry  likes to be busy trying new fantastic activities that support his learning.  Last night Harry came up with the idea of making homemade   play-dough.  Making and using  playdough was a great fun and developed Harry’s  understanding  of  a range of mathematical  concepts  including counting , measuring e.g. wight ,length  , shapes  ,developed problem solving and reasoning skills through trying out ideas ,and thinking about how to change them if they don’t work.  He would like to share with you all how to make a  play-dough.    

So your challenge is ” Make your own play-dough ”   

You can follow  Harry recipe 🙂

And if you want, you can add additional ingredients, e.g. paint or food coloring to the color palydough, scents  essence. And when your play dough is ready, you can make a nice playdough model by adding things that can be found in the garden or kitchen cabinet, e.g. stick, leaves, flowers, pebbles, rice, lentils, pasta, herbs, etc.

You will need ingredients such as  : flour , salt ,water  .
You will also need: a spoon, a large bowl, a cup.

.

And  follow Harry’s recipe ….
Put into a large bowl ;
2 cups of flour 

1 cup of salt

1 cup of water 

           

And mix it all together   until all ingredients turn into a  play-dough.       When Harry’s play dough was ready, he decided to stick 3 sticks he found in the garden, then took the pasta out of the cupboard, and put it one at a time on each stick … guess how many pasta he put .. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 !!! Yes ”15” pieces of pasta well done 🙂

Please share your playdough  making experience and  your amazing playdough  models with your nursery  friends by sending us photos, videos.

Good luck everyone 🙂

 

 

 

 

                                                    Good Morning Everyone 🙂
We hope  everyone is doing well 🙂

 Are you excited  about  Easter ?  …………………Harry is very excited !!!
 And because  Harry  is so  excited that he came up with the idea of  creating  his own Easter bonnet. He asked Miss Collins to help him, together they looked for things that they could use for Harry’s Easter bonnet ,they searched and searched and they still couldn’t decide what to use .   Suddenly Miss Collins remembered that  in one of her drawers she  should still have collage that  she  used the last time . 
 She took out different colour of shreds paper  , paints and Easter crafts, showed it to Harry, and then asked: “Harry, do you think this is suitable for your Easter bonnet ?” ”
Harry jumped excitedly and shouted: “It’s beautiful, that’s what I was looking for to make my Easter bonnet.”  Harry sat down to work and made his own Easter bonnet of green and yellow paper, carrots, Easter eggs, ladybugs, a flower and a small rabbit on the front his Easter bonnet .Then with a big smile on his face, he put it on his little head and said “Now I’m ready for Easter”
Then he added  ” I wish you all a happy Easter.”

If you want to share your excitement with your nursery friends about Easter, please send us photos and videos  🙂

Hello everyone 🙂

We hope everyone is doing well !!!
As you already know Harry is a nice hedgehog who likes learn  new things all the time …

            

Last night Harry wanted to play  a math  game e.g. count, sort and match .So together with Miss Collins , they designed a  math game to support Harry in learning how to count ,match ,sort ,and recognize numbers .
They drew 8 houses, wrote the number on each of them, and then cut out the squares on which they wrote the number and  drew various shapes corresponding to the number on the house.

When the game was ready, Harry and Miss Collins played the game for a long time , counting ,matching and sorting  .  …. because …. “” It was great fun, “said Harry and Miss Collins.

So everyone… Try at home challenge is  .   Create your own homemade  math game that will support the development  of  at least one or all of the following skills e.g.   counting, matching, sorting and recognition of numbers. Use your creativity and use everything that you like e.g. you can draw,  cut out, use household items, toys etc.

Please  share  your ideas with nursery friends  by sending photos ,videos 🙂

Good luck everyone !!!

 

         

Hello everyone 🙂

It’s Wednesday . How are you today ? .

This morning, Miss Collins and Harry noticed something out of the window, something was  lying on the grass leaning  against the tree. Because they were very curious about what it could be, they went outside to see what it was. As they approached, they saw a beautiful picture of a colorful bear. On which it says: “Well done, you found me on a Bear Hunt”
– How exciting !!! thought Miss Collins and Harry the Hedgehog 🙂

Try at home challenge  ; Here is a small task for all of you.  Can you draw a picture of a colorful bear?
Maybe you have a cuddly toy or any toy that you like very much and want to show and tell us about it?

Hello Everyone 🙂 It’s Tuesday today .

How are you today? Let me share with you what our little friend Harry the Hedgehog  did?

Harry decided to help in the spring cleaning. He started by cleaning kitchen cupboards.
During  cleaning Harry  came up with a great idea? …
He thought, “I want to be like an engineer and build and create various structures.”
So Harry started building, putting one can on top of another, Harry built a tower.
 ”WOW” he said I built a tower with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 tins , which he found in the kitchen cupboards. 
So today your Try at home challenge is … Can you build a tower  like Harry did?

You can use blocks  ,Lego,  cardboard  boxes ,tins  or anything else you can find  in your house .

We would love to know, how many objects did you used ?
How tall is your tower ?
