SAFE, HAPPY, LEARNING, RESPECTFUL

11.11.24 - 22.11.24

Welcome back to another round up of what we have been getting up to at nursery! Get comfy, because as usual we have been VERY busy!

Och Aye... In the Ocean Room it has been Scotland mad as we do Highland jigs, make our own flags, and dance to "Show us Your Haggis" (ask the kids and see it on youtube link below... it's worth it) Here are some pictures on what we have got up to in our learning about Bonnie Scotland!

Making our Scotland Flags....

"its called a saltire" "its blue and white and like a cross"

it's all about writing and mark making......

.......the children have been showing a real interest in writing words and letters. They have wanted to copy words and have been asking what words say.

the big piece of paper on the floor and letters allowed the children to experiment and develop their 'writing' skills.

there was lots of good letter recognition as well as writing and mark making

with some of the children realising that the letters that they spotted were in their name

and generally just having fun and learning through play

we also noticed that our names were on the register and tried to find our own.

we have been writing our names.......

in our hidey hole under the unit

on the floor

on our tray

on top of our laminated names

with paint on our fingers

and on the window

We have also been exploring some of the remaining crops we have in the garden, some apples, beans, potatoes, berries and carrots. We have been chopping and 'cooking' them in the mud kitchen outside..... DELICIOUS!!😋

and we have been helping Mrs Christie out in polytunnel

we are using the boxes to create a layer before adding the soil on top.

it's not all hard work though, we do manage to chill out too!

Something new has been added to our daily routine at nursery. As you will have seen on the Google Classroom, we are taking part in the Childsmile Toothbrushing Programme. The children have done a great job of brushing their teeth so far. What a novelty to be doing this at nursery!!!

we talked about why it is important to brush our teeth and when you should brush them

" you have to brush your teeth in the morning and before you go to bed"

"you have to brush all the germs away"

and then we chose what toothbrush we would like

before writing our name beside the brush we had chosen

Here we are... ready to brush!

Cheeeese!

"This is like the toothpaste I have at home!"

Getting every last tooth!

Fully wrapped up for the occasion!

We check we brush properly in the mirror.

A little bit of playdough fun... although it looks like Miss Smith needs to work on her recipe a little bit. She'll not get on bake off anytime soon!

Snip snip!

Making 'chocolates'

Busy girl...

Snowy Fun! It's always worth the time getting these guys all kitted up, as they have a magical time playing out in the snow, sledging, making snow angels, and having fun with their friends!
