This week at nursery we have been continuing to discuss different countries around the world, the people and animals that live there and drawing and identifying their flags. We played a flag matching game, made planet Earth pictures and used a world map to colour and identify different countries. We have been listening to songs in some of the different languages spoken by the children in the nursery, practising some phrases and reading dual language stories.

We have been very busy playing imaginary games in the construction and home areas; building houses, dens and shops. We were pleased to get some sand for our sand tray and enjoyed measuring and pouring in the water tray. We helped to make some delicious biscuits that we all ate for snack.

We have started our forest schools again so some of us went out on a woodland adventure; played hide and seek, collected so we sticks and explored the area. We also enjoyed the snow on Thursday and a few of us went on a wintery walk to Holyrood Park.

We hope you enjoy your weekend and please post some pictures of the fun you have at home on the Learning Journals, we love to see what you’ve been up to!

Welcome back to Fantastic Friday where we showcase the amazing work and play in the nursery each week. This week in nursery we have been continuing to explore and learn different languages. We have been sharing greetings in the different languages spoken by our families and we have been practicing them in the morning at registration. We have also been listening to songs like the alphabet song in different languages. We have been reading stories about different countries and cultures and having interesting discussions about our similarities and differences.

In the art area we were painting and decorating our own flags and making Valentine’s Day cards and decorating them. At the puzzle table we played a matching game where we match the flag to the right country on the sheet. We celebrated a birthday in nursery this week so we helped to bake a yummy birthday cake for snack.

In the construction area we have been busy building houses and caves! Using Lego we have enjoyed making cube shapes and building fences. We have been doing lots of dressing up in the house corner and roleplaying as families has been. The weather has been very cold and wet but we have been enjoying jumping in muddy puddles and playing our own parachute games!

Hope you all have a lovely February break, please continue to post pictures of the fun you have at home on the Learning Journals.
