This week gave the children opportunities to discover different celebrations of the world. This week it was Chinese new Year. We watched a movie on the smart board that gave us lots of information about it and let us see what they do in Celebration. This gave us lots of ideas to get creative in our nursery and to extend our learning further. On a map in an Atlas we discovered it was only 44 steps to China!.
We could see that Chinese writing was straight lines, Regan copied this onto paper using straws.
The children made a Dragon for Chinese New Year, the AM children made one large Dragon and the PM children made individual Dragons. The AM Dragon was paraded around to ward of bad luck and bring good luck.
Tuesday was also Safer Internet Day and we had a discussion with the children about being safe in our choices when we are online.
Wednesday brought back our Welly Wednesday Adventures!!!! the children had great fun trying to scale the bendy tree and remembered how to keep themselves safe on the walk. We stopped to talk about the ice that had formed on the pond and how to keep ourselves safe beside the water. In the afternoon the rain didn’t put us off our walk, but it did give us the most colourful rainbow for us to admire and see it’s reflection in the water.
Thursday gave us P.E with Mr McCurdy on the large apparatus as we strengthened our core strength and balance skills.
The week was finished off with a taste of the show the p.3-5 children are performing next week as we listened to them singing on the stage.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!!!! from the Nursery Team

Wow, only 44 steps to reach China….maybe the children could go there on a welly Wednesday ☺ Amelie said she enjoyed the Chinese snack and she has been telling us how to say happy New year in Chinese.
We are glad that welly Wednesday has re-started, even if it is a bit cold and damp still 🧣🧤 it will be fun for the children to see the landscape changing as we move towards springtime ⛄☔🌈🌞
