Our latest topic in the nursery has been Pirates. The children have been doing lots of activities relating to this topic including making treasure maps and telescopes. They have learned a new action song which they have enjoyed singing and dancing to. Perhaps you could sing the song at home with your child.
There was a treasure hunt in the garden where the children had to solve the clues on the treasure map to find the treasure chest. Some of the children made Pirate ships using apples and there was lots of discussion about floating and sinking.
During our weekly sessions with Planet Soccer there has been a focus on fitness. The children have been playing different games during the sessions with a focus on developing their gross motor skills as they moved their bodies in different ways. There was a game with “Spiders and Flies” where the spiders had to try and catch the flies and another game of “Shark Attack” where the children who were sharks had to try and catch the other children, the fish. All the children had great fun at the end of the session when they had to try and catch their coach.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to continue with our community learning due to the adverse weather conditions over the last few weeks. I am sure you will understand that their safety is paramount and taking them out in high winds or very slippy conditions is not putting their safety first. We hope that the worst of the weather is behind us now and that these sessions will restart in the next few weeks.
