It has been a busy week in nursery this week. At the beginning of the week JFM Exotics came in to show us some of their animals and we even got to hold them, it was a fantastic experience for our children! We met their beautiful meer cat, tortoise, chameleon, python and many other exotic animals. We have continued our wheels projects and looking at all things round and we are going to be setting up our own garage role play area outside. We have been introducing the children to the World map and will be spending some time looking at different countries. This week we looked at China, we watched some clips of children celebrating Chinese New year, did some Chinese dragon dancing and then started to think of different ideas together, some children wanted to make a Chinese dragon so we are planning to start that next week. We also set up a Chinese restaurant in our home corner and have been serving real food, we will continue to develop transactional role play skills next week.

This week we have started an exciting project on vehicles and wheels, following the children's interest. The children have been using tools in the workshop to take the bike apart and testing which materials are magnetic. On Thursday some of the children went on a mini trip to 'Forest Fawr'. It was a wet and windy day but we had lots of fun and got very muddy. We followed the sculpture trail around the Forest and had a wonderful time. The children are enjoying role paying the story of 'Bear hunt' and we have been exploring different textures such as mud in lots of diffeent ways.
