It has been a great start back to the nursery with lots of interesting and exciting play going on. The morning children began a discussion about bridges while building up the train set. This led on to looking at different types of bridges on the smartboard. The theme of bridges was taken up by the afternoon children too and soon there were bridges being built at the art area and with the large and small construction. A forth road bridge was built using the large bricks and outside the guttering track was used to make a bridge. The other theme the children came up with this week was hospitals. This began when one of the children asked for a nurse costume. Soon the home corner became a hospital ward and the children have been really engaged in play about patients, doctors and nurses. We will be continuing with these themes next week alongside the introduction of measuring materials to help the children measure their bridges.
