Show and Tell

Just a little reminder about Show and Tell tomorrow Tuesday 9th October 2012

Children may bring something to show the others or have something they would like to tell the others. If your child chooses to bring a toy or object to show then we would prefer that it fits in their tray.

Superhero Dancing!

Check out our fast and slow Superhero dances!

Superhero by Patty Shukla

The children have requested to sing Superhero by Patty Shukla as our song next week.

Week 7

 The children have been very interested in Super Heroes so we made a book about 'Our Super Powers'. This is on display in the foyer. Feel free to have a look.

 

 We went outside to look for signs of Autumn.

This is what we discovered - "They're scrunchie".  "They are crunchie under my feet"

"They are yellow, red, brown" "You get acorns at autumn time. I saw them on my holiday."

We have been making some autumn prints using autumn colours.

We used many of our senses while exploring the waterbeads.

Being creative with the playdough and spaghetti. We used our problem solving skills to make models.

We have been having a look at our names and letter formation.

Walk to School Month

Well done to all the children who walked to school at least once a week this month.  All children who filled this in on the poster will receive their badge next week.

Our October poster has now been displayed in the foyer.  Can we please remind parents to colour in the football any day that your child walks all or part of the way to nursery?  If they walk once a week to nursery, they will receive a badge at the end of the month.

Autumn Leaves

We are going to looking for signs of Autumn next week.  This will be our song (tune of London Bridge).

The autumn leaves have fallen down,
fallen down, fallen down.
The wind he came and blew them round,
And blew them round.

Let's find a brush and start to sweep,
Start to sweep, start to sweep,
And make them into a great big heap,
Into a great big heap.

Week 6 in the nursery

We have been very busy this week again. 

We have been making and wrapping presents for our families. 

We have been writing labels for them too.

We were creating cards, writing lovely messages inside.

We were using the rainbow bells to help us sing our rainbow song.

We were reading stories to our babies and to our friends.

We set up a huge train track for the crane.

We used the map to help us find where the treasure was hidden in the nursery.

Outside we discovered the big jumping sacks and were having lots of fun figuring out how to jump in them.

We were playing colour matching games.

We were strengthening our hand muscles as we explored tin foil.  We were tearing it, cutting it, crumpling it, glueing it and squashing it. 

We have been looking after our baby twins at the house.  We decided that we needed to buy a double buggy for them.  We knew that 'if you can't buy something in the shops here, just try ebay'!  We looked on ebay and found a buggy but we are going to try Orkney Merkit place first!

A lot of us had a go at the Snail Race game.  We were taking turns, sharing resources and learning our colours.

We had gloop on the messy table this week.  It was funny to play in because we could squish it, roll it, scoop it and it ran through our fingers.  We used lots of new descriptive words when we were talking about it. 

We have been developing our planning skills this week.  We were using the fireman's hat as our talking tool.  We were thinking about what we wanted to do during work time and what we would need to do it.
