This week, Nursery have loved sharing the story of “Starry-Eyed Stan”. At the end of the story, Stan sets up his own singing school so we couldn’t resist making some musical instruments.
The children used the junk modelling resources to either make a drum, guitar or shaker. We investigated the different sounds they made and how they made a sound by tapping, shaking or strumming.
Reception and Year 3 had a fantastic morning gutting fish and investigating the features of them. We used knives to dissect the fish and find the skeletons inside – we were all brilliant fishmongers! We also made clay fish, drew fish and labeled each of the features including a sentence explaining their purpose. We all had a brilliant morning – Well done everyone!
EYFS had a great time investigating what happens to chocolate when it warms up. We added some shredded wheat to the melted chocolate and counted out three little “eggs” to put in our nests.
EYFS thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the Spring Time animals with Rob from Zoo Lab. We learnt all about animal hibernation and even got to hold all of the animals.
Nursery love joining in our daily rhyme time sessions. We focus on a different nursery rhyme each week. Last week, we learned how to sing “When Goldilocks went to the House of the Bears” which you listen to below.
This week we are learning “Round and Round the Garden like a Teddy Bear” but we are having fun changing the words. We loved Jasmine’s idea of “Round and Round the Zoo, like and elephant”!
EYFS had an out of this world experience in the Wonderdome! We found out all about the planets, the solar system and the sun.
Love was in the air at our Valentines Day Discos.
We loved chopping vegetables for Chinese stir fry, to celebrate Chinese New Year. We all thought it was delicious!
EYFS thoroughly enjoyed making pancakes and loved eating them even more. They helped weigh out the ingredients for the pancake batter and choose their own toppings for the top. They all agreed they were delicious!
Nursery have been making their own loose parts arrangements to create dragons to celebrate the year of the dragon! We used lots of mathematical vocabulary to describe our finished masterpieces such as long, round, short, big and pointy.
