Welcome back to Fantastic Friday where we showcase the amazing work and play done in the nursery each week. This week we have been enjoying the lovely weather and continuing to discuss spring. The children have been helping to plant bulbs and make decorations for the garden, by decorating CDs to make wind chimes and making flower windmills. We have also been on lots of walks, to Holyrood Park, Dumbiedykes Park and Forest Schools. Over the coming weeks we will water and care for the bulbs we have planted and watch them grow.

Some of the children have also been roleplaying as doctors, using the stethoscope to listen to each other’s chest and making up pretend ailments for one another. We have still been talking about lifecycles and reading stories such as The Teeny Tiny Tadpole and The Hungry Caterpillar. The children have also helped Sarah to make biscuits and pizzas for snack which were delicious! We have enjoyed building elaborate creations in our construction area and have been having lots of fun with our work bench.

We hope you enjoy your weekend and look forward to seeing you on Monday!

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.
