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.
Well done to all of our children who were child of the week this week. It was lovely to see so many sporting achievements. Excellent work Marsden!
EYFS have loved making cookies this week linked to our text Astro Girl. Reception wrote instructions in Literacy and Nursery followed them brilliantly when baking. They were delicious!
The EYFS children displayed dazzling dance moves at our Christmas party this afternoon and then we had two special visitors!
Our last two Funky Fingers sessions were snow themed! ❄️
We used scissors to make snowflakes and exercised our funky fingers in our own homemade snow dough.
We also enjoyed a new game called washing machine with our parachute.
EYFS loved making Christingles to mark the beginning of advent. We discussed each of its features and the meaning of them.
Nursery enjoyed learning all about Diwali, the festival of light. We made our own diya lamps from clay and painted them.

EYFS have enjoyed raising money for Children in Need. We designed our own Pudsey Bears, made our own Pudsey masks and added spots to Pudsey’s bandana. Our favourite was definitely the cake sale and obstacle course.
Tonight was a special Funky Fingers because we let the children use our Kid K’nex! Nobody else in the whole school has tested our new equipment so the children had a great time trying to make different objects with the kit.
This week, we concentrated on our fine motor skills through a variety of activities. We used the peg boards, tapping shapes and our brand new tinkering blocks.
We also continued our gross motor skill development by adding cones to travel in and out of while on our scooters and balance bikes.
The session was finished off with a game of dance and freeze!
