It’s another busy day in nursery today, children are making animal dens, exploring the farm play tray, experimenting with numbers and talking about size In the dinosaur sand tray.

Children are busy this week making their own binoculars to join in with our bird watch, we are recording how many birds we see of each variety in our garden area. Children are very excited talking about the birds and describing what they look like. We will then make graphs at the end of the week to find which bird was most common, how many birds we saw altogether, least common bird etc.

In little acorns this week we are looking at different animals and using the book ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ as a creative tool. We are making farm maps, exploring textured farm play trays, making animal biscuits, comparing sizes of animals, using play dough to design out own animals, and making food for farm animals.

Little elves have had fun over the last two weeks, using ‘What the Ladybird Heard’ book as a creative tool we have been listening to animal sounds, making ladybirds, mark making with different tools and exploring textures in our farmyard play tray.

This week we are exploring the book Dear Zoo, we use books as creative tools to enhance children’s learning experiences. We will be using animals in paint talking about the different sized prints they make. We are weighing and mixing ingredients to make bird feeders to place around the garden, and we’ll be exploring movement to music acting out how different animals move.
