Blog update - w/c 10th
September:
Baby Babbles:
Baby
room has been involved in settling all of the new children and encouraging the
older children and active babies to go out into the garden. The children have
been interested in climbing a lot recently so we have been using the physical
room so they can climb, crawl and start to walk.
Nursery News:
Recently
the children have been interested in mini-beasts. We planned and took the
children on a nature walk. We found some bugs and natural objects like sticks
and leaves. We took lots of photos on the way. We have also had a pirate themed
day which the children thoroughly enjoyed. We made a pirate ship, flags and a
treasure chest. The staff and children all dressed up too!
Pre-school Press:
This
week we have been preparing for our Pirate themed-day which was held on
Wednesday 12th September. We have been making treasure chests to
keep our golden coins in and we have been
role-playing pirates using the ship which we made using recycling materials. We
have also been making parrots and treasure maps. We had a competition in the
garden to see who could find the most gold coins and the winners were group
number 2! Well done to all the children who took part.
