Keep up to date with all the news happening in school at the moment.
We have been exploring lots of red activities today for Red Nose Day! It has been lovely to see lots of the children join in and wear red today. We have been busy this week exploring clay in the art studio. The children have been creating their own Colour Monster clay models and have been learning about texture, joining techniques and how to manipulate the clay. We have been so impressed with the care and attention the children have given to their models. Each one is different and full of personality! We have also been exploring the stories ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and ‘Jasper’s Beanstalk’. The children have helped to create a castle in the role play area and we have observed some wonderful storytelling from the children as they they take on different roles. In the garden this week the children have been planting seeds and taking care of our plants. There have been lots of discussions around what plants need to grow and how we care for them. We have set up a garden centre under our new outdoor structure and the children have explored the roles of customer and shopkeeper as they sell the different items. We have observed lots of interest in buried treasure this week which has led to map making and treasure hunts! The children have been creating different marks using pens and pencils and are giving meaning to the marks that they make. There has also been lots of interest in physical activities involving climbing and jumping. The children have helped to create an obstacle course in the garden where they can challenge their physical skills and assess risk as they move around, over and through obstacles. As we continue to explore the season of spring we have started to discuss Easter and look forward to finding out about Easter traditions and celebrations next week 🐣
Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus! We had a wonderful time on Monday celebrating St David's Day. Many of the children came to nursery dressed in traditional outfits or wearing something red. We had a wide range of activities for the children to explore which linked to traditional welsh customs. The children helped to make some welsh cakes which involved following a recipe, measuring ingredients and rolling and cutting the mixture. Once cooked we all got to taste how delicious they were! We have continued to learn a variety of welsh songs and discussed how to name feelings in welsh. They particularly enjoyed singing "Mr hapus ydw i". Following on from St David's Day we continued the interest in cooking and the children made some cawl. They were very careful when peeling and cutting the vegetables ready to put in the pot. Most children were able to name vegetables like carrot and potato but we are reinforcing the names of other vegetables such as parsnip, suede and leek. Once again lots of talk about where the vegetables came from and we have been exploring a number of information books about gardening and growing vegetables. In the garden the children have been helping to clear our vegetable patch ready for planting. Lots of helpers using spades, wheelbarrows and brushes to problem solve how to move bits from the patch to the compost. We have new structure going up in the garden so there was much excitement when the builders came on Wednesday to put it together. The children had many thoughts about what it could be..."It's a treehouse" "It's a structure" "It's a dinosaur"...we will have to wait and see when it is finished!
We have continued with our core story 'The Colour Monster' this week. The children have created some beautiful artwork linked to the story, really maintaining attention and thinking carefully about what they wanted to do. We have started to also explore the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. Spring songs this term include I dig my garden, Sleeping bunnies, Five little peas and Chick chick chicken.
