This weeks focus topic:

This week the children have enjoyed our topic: All about Vets! We have been learning what they do and who they help. The children have had lots of fun caring for animals, role playing in the vet clinic and discussing animals and where they live.

Our math focus this week has been on Ten Towns Tommy Two, learning all about the number 2 and how to correctly write the number 2 formation.

 This week we had fun:

We had lots of fun learning through play. The children created role play games including restaurants: pretending to order food from a menu, whilst their friends pretended to be the chef.  

The children were creative in the water area, investigating how to create more bubbles in the water tray. Testing a variety of objects, they finally found the hand whisk created the most bubbles. We had so much fun playing in the bubbles and developing our investigative play.

This week in the playdough area, the children had fun learning about the plant mint. We discussed how plants make food and grow outdoors. The children shared their ideas and likes about different foods and how we grow when we eat.

Following one child's request to make a kite, all the children decided to make kites at the art table with support from their teachers. The children tested their kites in the garden, running around trying to make them fly.

 

We discovered we can be creative with any materials. The children had an idea to use mud in the art area. By adding water the mud was similar to paint, which they then used to create one of a kind art work. 

This week the children have been working on their fine motor skills, developing their pencil grips, pencil pressure and letter formation. We had fun helping the lost bird find their way home to their mum by marking the path on the paper. We then wrote our names on our work so everyone will know who it belongs to. We are so smart in nursery.

This week the children have had lots of fun out in the garden. We creatively made dens and filled them with blankets, cushions, book and bears. We practised our gross motor movements and ball skills using crates and shooting the ball through the basketball net. We danced, hula-hooped, ran, jumped, rolled and rode bikes. We even had time to make sand castles.
