Koala Fun!

5th July 2022J Parker

Following on from sharing week last week in which some of our parents shared their careers with us we set up a hospital/doctors surgery. The children really enjoyed dressing their friends with bandages, checking their temperatures, listening to each other’s heart beats and administering medication to those who needed it. We also used our writing skills to fill out prescriptions for the Helen Gibson patients.

We also have been showing lots of interest in Volcano’s so we painted our very own volcano ready for an experiment next week! The children used lots of different colours to create the Volcano and making it look as real as possible.

We also recalled on our trip to the farm last week. We created a large scale drawing of our very own farm, talking about where the animals live, what animals there would be and any other things we may find at the farm. The children were very detailed with their drawings, recalling what their favourite part of the farm was and also adding in some animals or other parts of the farm that weren’t there such as a duck pond.

We also explored some mark making using our hands and smaller tools on a large shower curtain! No area was left uncovered and it was a great messy activity.

We are Proud of our Uniqueness

1st July 2022J Parker

To celebrate Pride Week children came to nursery wearing their favourite colours.  We talked about what made us individual and what makes us unique.  We discussed our families and how each one can be very unique in who lives in our houses, what we like to do, what we eat and how we should celebrate this!  Children brought in a stone as big as their hand and were able to decorate it with whichever colours we wanted.

Fun at the Farm

27th June 2022J Parker

We had so much fun at Hall Hill Farm

We were able to stroke a huge rabbit. It was very heavy!

We also held a guinea pig. He was very soft.

We fed some of the animals with milk as they were just babies.

The animals tongues tickled our hands.

We even had a ride on a tractor.

We were exhausted by the time we went home and some of us even fell asleep!

Bug Hunting with the Panda Group

13th June 2022J Parker

We had a special chart to show us the types of mini beasts we might spot in our nursery garden.

We had a think about the equipment we might need then off we went to explore.

We checked under rocks, wooden tree trunk stumps and in the mud and were amazed at all the creatures we found!

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.

ICT Safety

9th May 2022J Parker

I thought this following link would be useful for us all to read to ensure our children at Helen Gibson Nursery School stay safe whilst online or using ICT equipment.
