Yesterday we had such a fun day with lots of different football activities!
⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
We had painting making footballs, matching the numbers to the amounts and played one large football game outside. We have enjoyed speaking about the football and we were very excited to cheer England on!
🏆🏆
The toddlers created a large banner to show their support for the team. Some children also enjoyed playing football.

The babies also enjoyed playing their own football game and making some football buns!

Come on England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The Counting House at HECKMONDWIKE

We have recently updated all of our home learning bags at nursery.
🙂
These bags provide different resources and activities for parents and their children to try at home. Each room in nursery has put together some age appropriate activities that can be borrowed to extend children's learning at home.

The learning bags are planned around the children’s interests and focus on what we are learning about at nursery at the time.

Please speak to a member of staff from your child’s room if you are interested in taking some of these bags to try at home.

The Counting House Challenge this week is:

# Kings & Queens!
🫅👸
As it is the King’s birthday this weekend…this week we challenge you to get creative and design your very own crowns with your children, so you can be a King or Queen for the day!

You could create these in a wide range of ways with various materials. For example, you could use Lego blocks to construct a crown or you could explore various creative materials such as cardboard, paint or glitter or you could explore natural resources such as twigs, leaves and shells!
🫟🎨
This is a great way to promote communication & language among your children, encouraging them to follow simple instructions as well as learning new language such as ‘King’ ‘Queen’ ‘Royal’. It is also a great way to promote independence by allowing your children to make their own choices within materials and it can also help promote their fine and gross motor skills when experimenting with different materials and tools.

We look forward to seeing your crowns, please post videos / photos to your child’s Tapestry account so we can see the fun you get up to!

Thank you 😊

Last week the babies were exploring healthy eating.
🙂
They created their own fruit paintings using tools to paint with. They have also been drawing what is on their plate, using different colours to draw fruits that they like.

The babies enjoyed our fruity water tray, feeing the different textures of the fruit and what each fruit smells like 🍎🍊🎨
