This week we have all been very busy finding out the famous Orcadian, John Rae.

On Tuesday we all went on an adventure.

Here we are at the John Rae Statue. He has as knife and a gun for hunting.

 

We visited the Stromness Museum too.

It helped us to find out what life was like almost 200 years ago!

We even put porridge oats in our sensory tray!

Lots of us loved the feeling of the porridge oats on our fingers.

 

We used the porridge oats to make a yummy snack too.

Some of us helped to make 'oaty biscuits'

 

 

.... and just like Goldilocks and the three bears we munched up our yummy porridge.

It tasted 'just right'

 

 

We changed our house into the three bears cottage and waited to see if Goldilocks would come and visit us!

 

We had three beds! A big bed, a medium sized bed and a small bed.

We had lots of big, medium and small items in our house too for our bears and Goldilocks to play with.

 The three bears liked their cottage. Goldilocks sneaked in a few times too!

We had great fun last week learning all about the story of 'Goldilocks and the three bears'.

 We helped to make a wood in our nursery.

We were all very busy hand painting on our doors!

We hand painted our trees green and painted our trunks brown.

We had lots of little monkeys in nursery last week!

 

Our song of the week was 'Five little monkeys jumping on the bed'

 

 

We had a very important visitor this week in nursey.

Mr Mole came to visit us!

 He helped to show us all how to play our musical instruments.

 

 

We have been using lots of different types of puppets to help us to plan and review our learning in nursery this week.

We loved the big puppets. Mr Croc was one of our favourites!

We made our own paper bag puppets too.
