Outdoor Learning 🪴🍃

3/3/26

We spent our time today reading familiar stories to our friends. We looked at the pictures and retold the stories in our own way. 

We then had some free time creating dens and using materials independently.

17.2.26 & 19.2.26

We celebrated pancake day this week. We helped measure out the ingredients and mix them together. We then enjoyed tasting them for snack alongside some bananas and strawberries 🍓🍌🥞

This morning we went on a walk in our community. We have been exploring recycling and reusing, so we looked at the different bins we can use. We also went on a letter hunt and spotted lots of different letters.

We had lots of fun exploring in the snow this morning. We tried to make our own snow angels 😇❄️🌨️

13.02.26

We have been exploring looking after our nursery environment. We made some binoculars to search for the birds, filled up our bird feeders and made some bird baths for the birds. We then used the litter pickers to clean up the garden. 🐥🐦🪶🗑️

10.2.26 

We have been exploring repeating pattens.We used cotton buds and paint to make patterns. We also explored using the coloured fruit to make our own repeating patterns. 🎨🍇🍎🍓🖌️

19/1/26

We have been learning about Burns Night 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We spoke about all things Scottish. We learnt some scottish words, made tartan pictures, listened to scottish songs/poems, and tried some highland dancing. 

We were very lucky and some of the children from P3/4 came to nursery to recite some scottish poems!

We had lots of fun in the rain today. We made our own waterfall by collecting rain water and pouring it down the guttering. 💦🌧️☔️

We put some water in the freezer on Friday and collected today. We then explored the ice and spoke out how it felt.

"It's cold" "It's freezing" "It's slippery."

✨Our stay and play session sign up sheet is now avaviable in our cloakroom. We can't wait to welcome you into the playroom to explore and spend sometime with your child 😁❤️✨

This week we have been drawing self portraits! We used our fine motor skills to hold and use a pen effectively with a preferred hand. 🪞✍️

 Some of our self portraits are on show in the nursery room (on the wall). If they are not on show on the wall they will be in your childs Learning book.

January 2026

We would like to wish all our families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄🎅🌟❤️

When we return to nursery in January we will have changed how we do self registration and children will move their name from home to nursery in the cloakroom. We will then focus on feelings in the playroom using the zones of regulation which is used in school and will allow the children to change their feelings during the day and for staff and children to explore regulation tools together as our feelings change throughout the day. 

😁🟢😔🔵😡🔴🤩🟡

We have been exploring using the chrome books to scan the Q.R codes to listen to different stories 💻🎧📖
