What a week in nursery!
The children had a fantastic experience with Wellgate Farm this week, where they were able to hold, engage with, and stroke animals such as goats, sheep, guinea pigs, and rabbits. They were taught to stroke the animals from the back of their heads down, and all of the nursery children made Broadford very proud by using gentle hands and quiet voices when meeting the animals.
At our art table, the children enjoyed using cuttings of pink paper to create a pig, as our books this week were about farm animals:
The Greedy Goat and
Rosie’s Walk. The children loved practising their cutting and sticking skills as they created beautiful pictures.
At our playdough table, the children have enjoyed creating their own sheep and moving them around our farm background. This activity inspired lots of conversation about sheep, especially as the children were able to link their play to real-life experiences after meeting sheep during our visit to Wellgate Farm.
On our writing table, the children enjoyed writing shopping lists, carefully thinking about the items they wanted to buy. They then used these lists to gather shopping items into trolleys from our role-play area, taking them around the nursery as they shopped. This activity encouraged early writing skills, imaginative play, and communication as the children shared ideas and worked together.
Some of our amazing rock stars in aid of nspcc. Thank you for all your £1 donations and the fantastic effort from all our families. The children all looked amazing!
Many thanks,
The Nursery Team
