This week we looked very closely at daffodils. We then pained what we could see. We talked about the flowers shapes, colours smells and how they look different from other angles.
This week we have spent time experimenting. We used magnets to find things that were metal, looked at how colours can mix and change using the light board as well as finding things out in books. We mixed flour and added things to it to see what would happen and looked at how to join magnetic spheres and cylinders together to make new shapes.
Hello everyone
I have attached some activities for you to look into during half term.
Just a reminder we come back to nursery TUESDAY 4th MARCH
This has been a ‘super’ start to the year for our children in main nursery. We have been choosing and reading our own books, making new friends, working with each other, exploring new sensory textures and best of all….HAVING FUN!
We have welcomed back our returning children and lots of new friends too. It has been lovely to watch each of them settle and explore the environment. The children have quickly learnt the routine and are enjoying all aspects of lodge life. We re all excited to make lots of fun memories.
We had a beautiful day celebrating with our children who are leaving us to start their school journey. So many parents and carers came, it was amazing! Hope you all have a lovely summer, and we look forward to welcoming back our returners and excited to meet all of our new children in September.
Thank you to those parents who supported our Sharing Week, where the children had the opportunity to explore a police car, try on a uniform and press all the buttons in the car! The children also had a relaxing yoga class, and a cooking experience where the most delicious chocolate cookies were made, cooked…..then eaten!
The lodge children have discovered pirates. It all started with a tyre and some guttering. Freddie climbed aboard the tyre and announced to his friends “we are pirates, ahaarr.”
As the children joined they discussed what they would find, like monsters, sharks and treasure. Jaxxon chose a block and used it as binoculars to look for the treasure.
This led us to team building where the children created a pirate ship.
Which led to creating pirate patches to get into character.
We added pirate ships, canons and figures to the water trays.
And golden coins to the sand.
Inside we made our own pirate flags.
What a busy 2 weeks it has been.
Recently in the lodge we have been exploring sorting. to start with we sorted by color so the children could grasp what sorting meant. the children chose different objects and matched them to the same color on the parachute.
Next we moved onto some thing more tricky. I gave each of the children a bag of mixed natural objects and modeled how i would sort them. the children quickly understood and were able to match the objects into categories.
