Week 3 in nursery

What a busy week we have had.  On Monday and Tuesday we had some clay on our messy table so we were very imaginative and creative with the objects that we were making. 

We fancied some scones for snack and we had lots of helpers to bake them.  We were very careful when reading the recipe and measuring out the ingredients. We also had to think about how many we would need to make so that everyone got one  They were delicious and many of the children asked if they could take the recipe home with them.  We thought we would add it below incase you wanted to try it too. 

Our Delicious Scones

1lb plain flour

3oz butter or marg

2 level teaspoons bicarbonate of soda

4 level teaspoons cream of tartar



200-250ml of milk

Put all dry ingredients in a bowl. 

Rub in butter/marg.

Add milk.

Pat out with hands and cut with cutter.

Brush with egg and milk.

Cook at 180 for 10-15 minutes.

We hope they taste as good as they did here. 

On Thursday it was very rainy and Mr and Mrs Mole came into visit.  Mr and Mrs mole were feling rather sad as thier burrow was full of water. The children thought that we could use the big blocks from the construction corner to build them a new house.  We worked really well in teams to solve this problem, listening to each others ideas and helping each other.  We had many imaginative ideas, some of us even using the new material to create the roof.  Mr and Mrs Mole were very pleased with their new home. 

We also had some knights in here this week who were very focused on building this superb castle and log fire. 

Batman, Robin and the Batbaby were in visiting us this week and were using the bricks and cones to create their home and garage for the batmobile. 

Some of us used the junk material to make our own houses. We learned how to use masking tape to stick things together. 










The babies were getting a good wash in the water tray this week. We were exploring cloths and towels, talking about wet and dry. 

What fun we have had!
