Fun filled freezing week, but what have we learned this week?
Children have been investigating the properties of water. They found a block pf ice in the garden and we brought it indoors to see how it would melt and break up. Children used their problem solving skills and curiosity to explore different ways to melt the ice. Some tried scissors, others’ tried sticks or our plastic dinosaurs. We then decided to do an experiment. What would happen if we put some items in water and left them outside? Great discussion and investigation on Friday as we found our items frozen in the ice!! The afternoon children will find their items on Monday.
Tooth brushing started on Monday each child has their own toothbrush and follows the Childsmile programme, they are learning to identify their own name on the list to be able to find their own brush.
From our Chinese New Year display in nursery children have been attempting to write in Chinese .Parker could see that the writing has straight lines and tried to copy them himself.
P.E this week was Gymnastics. The full hall gym equipment was out as the children developed balancing skills, climbing skills, jumping skills and remembered to have squashy knees as they jumped down onto the mat.
Have a great weekend everyone !! from the Nursery Team xx
