A huge thank you to Matthew, one of our parents who took some time out of his day to come and preform a ukulele concert for all of our children across the nursery. We would also like to thank everyone who donated and bought in recycling, which the children then turned into their own musical instruments and had so much fun during the concert!
Please check out our video which is on our social media pages!
If you have an interesting job or hobby that you would like to share with our children, please let us know.
The children absolutely loved dressing up as their favourite characters from their favourite stories and wearing their cozy pyjamas during our exciting World Book Day week!
During World Book Day week, our Toddlers and Babies ventured on a trip to our local library. They all started off by enthusiastically choosing a variety of different books for themselves, flicking through the pages and pointing to the colourful illustrations while discussing what they could see. After their individual explorations, they all joined together in a circle, and the Toddlers kindly pointed out pictures in the books, helping the Babies to engage with the stories and enjoy the wonderful experience of reading together as a group too.
We have been finding creative ways to explore one of our Pre-School Skills, name writing. The children searched for their name on the chalk board. Once identified,they used paintbrushes to trace the shapes of the letters, washing them away. Fine motor activities like this help our muscles to grow nice and strong ready for holding pencils and writing letters!
Toddlers have also been mark making in different ways this month. They have bought their skills outside into the garden, colouring on either the pavement, chalk board or easel. They then tried an experiment where they taped some paper to the slide, taking it in turns each child would slide down and make different marks as they were on their way down.
