What great fun we have had learning all about ‘people who help us’ this month. We have had visits from the police, fire service and opticians. The children have been exploring how to join items using pva glue, sellotape, masking tape and string. They have created some amazing small and large scale junk art creations.

What great discussion there has been this month about all the different birds we have seen in the Nursery garden. The children have enjoyed painting, drawing and making birds from Lego. There was lots of experimentation and language development  through the exploration of freezing water to create ice and then making it melt. The children are starting to look out for each other and form friendships, leading to lovely collaborative play in the Nursery both indoors and outdoors.

We have had another busy month in Nursery. There was lots of excitement and discussion of fireworks after our Halloween break and we created some beautiful art work based around this. The boys and girls have also enjoyed printing with bottle lids, lego, duplo and toy cars, creating some very interesting patterns and designs. There was great exploration, excitement and discussion, when we drew pictures on polypockets and projected the images onto the wall using our overhead projector. We have had lots of fun outside mixing, stirring and exploring with mud, water and found items. We also got our green fingers out and planted some onions and garlic. 🧄 🧅 There has been great fun at the games area with the children using the body boards to slide on their tummies down the ramp and practise their balance and coordination skills through the use of our stilts!
