Nursery AM and 30 Hours children are becoming very confident gymnasts. This half term we have been focusing on jumping and rolling.
To continue our Chinese New Year celebrations, this week we have made Chinese stir-fry. The children explored all of the ingredients, chopped them independently, helped to cook the ingredients using a wok and then finally were able to taste their delicious cooking!
This week in EYFS we started to look at the tradition of Chinese New Year. We were so impressed with the Parent Partnership homework the children completed at home and their enthusiasm and curiosity has continued at school.
We have opened up our Chinese restaurant, looked at the story of behind Chinese New Year, explored Chinese objects, created Chinese symbols and made our own lanterns while practising using scissors.
We can’t wait to find out more!
In Nursery we have been looking at Chinese dragons and using mathematical vocabulary to describe them. We talked about their round heads, long bodies and spiky teeth.
We even made our own arrangements using different loose parts. Aren’t they fantastic?
The children and staff had a fantastic first week in EYFS and have settled well back into our routine.
We welcomed new members to our Marsden family and look forward to starting our new theme of Chinese New Year.
We’ve had a lovely morning in the Foundation Stage playing with our toys. We are now enjoying a festive film treat for the end of term.
Yesterday, the children of the Foundation Stage had a fantastic time at their Christmas party. We even enjoyed a visit from two special guests.
Wow! Our smallest children are always surprising me but their performance of our show Cinderella was outstanding! The staff are so proud of each and every one of them.
A big thank you to all the parents for the fantastic costumes and practising lines.
We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed performing it!
The Foundation Stage children spent the morning learning about Christingles and making their own.
Aren’t they fantastic?
Today was a very exciting and special day in EYFS as our magical Christmas wishing tree arrived. All of the children made a wish and put their bauble on the tree.
Fingers crossed they come true!
