Keep up to date with all the news happening in school at the moment.
The children have continued their interest in pirates this week and have been using the pirate ship in the garden to support imaginative play. We have enhanced the muddy kitchen and the children have been making dishes for a pirate party! We have added shells, flowers, herbs, lemons, limes and coloured water. We have observed lots of mathematical language as they explore capacity and measure. We have had some very interesting creations! In the art studio this week some of the children have been making boats using the junk modelling. They have been exploring different joining techniques and have been discussing the best materials to ensure the boat floats. For those leaving for reception in September we have started to discuss transitions. We are reading the story ‘The Colour Monster goes to School’ and this has allowed us to open up conversations about how they are feeling about this change. This is a story we will be revising in the remaining weeks of nursery.
We have had a very exciting week in nursery with another visit from pirate Louby Lou! The children have been working collaboratively to create their own pirate ship using various loose parts in the garden such as blocks, wooden planks, chairs and stands. This has involved using communication skills, gross motor skills and creative thinking. From this we have observed lots of pirate role play and children have been exploring the seas, walking the plank and saving mermaids! Some of the children have developed an interest in maps and have designed their own maps to find the hidden treasure. We have been researching what a map is and what they are for. The children have been using their fine motor skills to draw their own maps and then work together to follow the map to the treasure! The children have enjoyed exploring our new beach area and have been taking turns and sharing the small world resources. We have started to read our core readers and have been talking about the summer season.
