St. Barnabas Nursery

We've been having lots of fun in the sun. The sun makes such a difference on the mood and atmosphere, which is why outdoor play is so Important, not for just physical development but also mental wellbeing, we need as much natural light as possible to produce vitamin D, which helps us keep our bones, teeth and muscles healthy as well as give us the ability to fight infections.

The sun is out, and the children are loving spending time in the garden.
The children loved not wearing their coats and scarves, allowing freedom and movement.

For Mother's Day, the children explored a sensory activity using rice, fresh flowers and paint. They investigated different textures, colours and smells, using their senses to touch, mix and observe the materials. The children showed curiosity as they squeezed petals, moved rice through their fingers and experimented with paint to create marks and patterns.

It's Jack and the Beanstalk week. The children have spent this morning measuring and estimating and using words such as taller, taller, tallest, measure. The use of open ended question encourages to think of new ideas and upon what they already know.

I had to share this, so much and love and appreciation from a parent❤️
