What the Koala’s did this week WB 16th May 2022

24th May 2022J Riley

The Koala’s have had a very busy week this week. We have been learning about different rhyming words, we have read stories at small group time looking for rhyming words. We took part in a game where we splatted the words we thought that rhymed like cat and hat, house and mouse, three and tree. The children worked really hard sounding the words out and identifying words that they thought rhymed.

We also explored some new outdoor equipment and how to use it safely talking about what the items were called and how we could use them. Next the fun part trying them out some of the children worked together to play games with the objects while others showed how they could be individually used.

There has been lots of investigating going on outside and in forest school so this was extended to our tuff tray where we used magnifying glasses to identify some creepy crawlies hiding in the soil.

We finished our week making yummy pizzas which the children have been really looking forwards to doing. We talked about how we used the cutlery and what toppings we could put on top. The children loved eating them after Miss Storey cooked them in the oven.

Phonics

19th May 2022J Parker

Some of our children are now recognising letter sounds in their names and very shortly will be moving into Reception class where they will take part in daily phonic lessons.  We thought this link would be helpful for you to use at home when they are ready for this.  It ensures that we are all using the same sounds which can stop children becoming confused in the future.

Stay and play in the lodge

12th May 2022J Riley

 

Last week we were very lucky to invite our grown-ups in to share our nursery experience. Many of the children had their grown-ups come a long to play and join in with our wonderful routine. Everyone was so busy, and this was so lovely to see. We all had so much fun!

What the koalas have been up to….

4th May 2022J Riley

WB 25th April

This week in the Koala group we have enjoyed being back in forest school we investigated some of the small creatures in our outside area. Using the magnifying glasses, we found a big wasp on our hut. The children explored the mud kitchen making hot chocolates and mud cakes filling and emptying with the soil and water. Some of the children found worms in the sand pit watching as they wriggled around.

We used our skills to explore some measuring equipment and measured objects of different sizes comparing it to the story Goldilocks, using big medium and small.

To finish the week the Sunshine made an appearance and we enjoyed exploring outside, helping Mrs Wright to plant a raspberry plant and dig in our allotment.

Easter time in the lodge

8th April 2022J Riley

We have been so busy in the lodge exploring Easter activities. We have had yellow and green rice out with chicks, nests, bunnies and sheep in. We put out eggs too so we could make shakers and catch the chicks. In the home corner we have had our Easter party bags and plates and the children have enjoyed making eggs and collecting the shopping for each other.

We were so lucky that the Easter bunny visited us nearly everyday, leaving lots of eggs for the children to find. We took turns to collect the eggs and found each one had chocolate eggs inside.

It’s time for us to say bye to some of our friends who are moving up to the big nursery. We will miss them.
