This week we have had some very exciting visitors! We found footprints in the nursery and watched the cctv to discover that dinosaurs had been in Tremorfa Nursery School! They left us a letter to say they had lost their eggs and could we help them find them. We had fabulous helpers who went on a hunt in the garden to find the eggs. Lots of teamwork and problem solving as they worked together to get the eggs down from some very unusual places. The children have also enjoyed exploring different large and small scale movements as they moved like dinosaurs. The children are also caring for a small egg in their groups. It hasn't hatched just yet but we have had lots of ideas as to what could be growing inside. We are monitoring their progress each day and the children have demonstrated great care and concern when handling them. Many of the children have been interested in baby play in the home corner. Following routines such as washing, dressing and changing nappies. There has been lots of talk about families and the children are talking confidently about those familiar to them. We have put an activity on Seesaw asking you to send a family photograph through the app for children to share with us.

This week in nursery the children have continued their interest in light and colour. They have been learning about the celebration of Diwali and have made rangoli patterns, tasted traditional foods and made Diva lamps. The children have really enjoyed using the playdough and have been manipulating the dough to make a variety of shapes which is helping to build up the strength in the muscles in their hands. On Friday we celebrated World Children's Day by having a range of blue themed activities. We started to introduce the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child by talking about what a right is. We have continued to read our core stories 'Wow said the Owl' and 'Owl Babies.'

It was lovely to welcome the children back to nursery last week after the half term break. This week in nursery we have read the story 'Wow said the Owl' and have been identifying colours and learning the welsh names for colours. The children have been sorting and matching objects by colour have have been fascinated with the light box and coloured resources. We have also been exploring light and dark and there has been so much curiosity in the torches as the children learn how to use them. They are developing their awareness of technology and how things work as they ask questions to find out more. Lots of interest in creating shadows and finding dark areas to light up! Over the last few weeks we have been busy planting new trees in an area of our garden. This week the area was opened up and the children were able to explore what was happening to them. Lots of questions about what they were and how we should care for them. We have started some of our spotty activities in preparation for Children in Need on Friday. The children have been hunting for circular objects to create prints with paints in the garden. They have used pots, tins and even balloons to see what pattern it would make. Remember on Friday 13th November children are welcome to wear pyjamas to nursery. We will be collecting donations at drop off and collection times out in the car park.
