We hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend!
This week in nursery found us outdoors having great fun using open ended resources to create risky play and fun experiences to develop our gross motor skills, social development and our thinking.
Tyres and drain pipes were very popular. Some piling them high to make a” Tyre chimney”. This provided a great way of experimenting with sound and echo.
Others used them to roll and crawl inside for fun. The tubing was a great media to experiment with size and measurement. The children found
items small and big to fit inside the tubes and roll down to the bottom.
Inside the nursery children were making “pizza” this week using the magnetic triangle shapes. Great discussion then started as to what they like on there Pizza and what shapes were created whilst adding them together. This was a great mathematical experience for the children including counting, fractions and shape recognition. The children then had the experience of going out into the community to buy Pizza for snack from the local shop. We had to keep ourselves safe on the walk there and look around the shelves for what wee needed. We then gave money to the cashier to pay for our items.
The children were gathered around to discuss the shape and how many pieces we would have if we kept cutting it into slices. The best part had to be getting to eat it !!
Invitations were given out this week for our McMillan coffee morning next week. You are all invited back to share a coffee and cake to raise money for this great cause on Thursday at 11.30 for AM children and 1.15 for the PM children. Full day children cn come along on either of the session that suit best.
