Funky Fingers EYFS | Marsden Primary School

Looking Walk -Nursery

11th May 2024M Hanratty

In one of our books we spotted a porthole the characters were looking through. The children showed a strong interest in coming up with own ideas of what they might see if they looked through one so we decided to make our own. We decorated them before taking them around school to see what we could see.

It was lovely to hear the children extending their descriptive language.

“I can see a tall tree.”

“I can see a big field next to the farm.”

“I can see a noisy seagull.”

“I can see a rainbow tree behind Mrs Hanratty.”

Funky Fingers Week 4&5

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.

Funky Fingers Week 3

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.
