This week some of the children discovered some ice in the garden. they asked lots of questions about why it was ice and what it was before ice. We made up some small and large containers of coloured water and left it over night to see what it would turn into. The children had great fun exploring this, watching and feeling it melting and smashing is to see the cause and effect! We have also been using our bodies to play different games to keep ourselves warm such as hopscotch.

A few of the children enjoyed a walk to the local park to show off their gross motor skills!

Following on from the children’s interest of telescopes last week the children have been discussing different planets. We have had quite a few astronauts getting ready to go to space to land on the planet mars in nursery this week! A few of the children used the playdough to create the different planets in the solar system, using our mathematical skills to compare and explore different sizes.

Some of the children helped cut up the vegetables for the soup we made for snack time. The children enjoyed eating it and said it was delicious!
