SAFE, HAPPY, LEARNING, RESPECTFUL
mixing up some magic potions....
Halloween at nursery.....
We have enjoyed mixing up 'potions', writing out spells, creating bats, building magic wands and so much more in our witches corner.
We also have so much fun exploring our pumpkins, showing how careful we can be using the knives, scooping out the insides and describing how they smell and feel.
...adding in bats and spiders....
... and pumpkin carving🎃
The children used lots of descriptive language while playing with and cutting the pumpkins. 'yucky' 'smell funny' 'slime' ' hard' 'soft' 'gooey' 'squishy'....
Potion Making.....
We used some bicarbonate of soda, vinegar, lemon juice and food colouring to create 'potions'. The children explored the chemical reactions of bubbling up and over the pots and being creative with the colours.....
Science is so much fun!!
learning about
our World
After all of our holidays we talked about the different places we had visited, we were keen to find where these places are. We used the big map, the small map and the globe to answer our questions and to show our friends where we had been.
we also wanted to know where the animals that we were playing with came from
the animal books helped us find out some information
The flag bunting sparked more discussion and we found out that every country has a flag of their own.
We recognised some of the flags
"look at the flags on this map"
we wanted to make our own
"I'm doing the Scotland flag"
and we didn't just draw flags.....
.....we used the bricks to copy the bunting, then looked in the altas to find out which country they belonged to.
we also spoke about the flag of Norway as we are learning more about this country because our friend Lachlan moved there during the Summer
"that's the Scotland flag"....
....and "that's the Norway flag" or as one of our children said "that's Haaland" (for those not in the know he is a Norweigan footballer!)
Construction... inside and outside!
Building different shapes together!
Concentration...
I'm really proud of mine!
Impressive.....
the face says it all!!!!
Working hard...
Or hardly working?!
Have you ever
seen cuter
builders?
We even used a real hammer and nails
"why is this hammer so heavy?"
Finally, we have been giving our sensory path a wee makeover after returning from the holidays, as it had become a little overgrown and tired with the children using it so much! We got to work helping Mrs Christie dig it out and tidy it up.
then we moved onto the pathway to the nursery to brush up the leaves
And there you have it.......you probably thought we all came to nursery to play but as you can see, it's a full time job coming to Holm!!!
