Today we made our own Worry Monsters. We used play dough as our base, and used different coloured wool and pipe cleaners to decorate our monsters. We all engaged wonderfully and expressed our creativity while developing our fine motor skills! Well done everybody!
Talking, listening and understanding all develop at their own pace, and it is completely natural to wonder how your child is getting on.
If you have any questions about your child’s speech, language or communication, Rochdale’s Talking Walk-Ins are a friendly, informal drop-in held across the Best Start Family Hubs, where you can speak directly to a speech and language therapist. There is no appointment and no referral needed, you simply turn up and have a chat. If any further support would be useful, they can link in with us here at nursery too.
Have a watch of the video below, and visit the Rochdale Borough Council website for more information. https://www.rochdale.gov.uk/childcare-children/rochdale-speech-language-communication-pathway
If you are a parent of a child who attends The Ark do speak to your child’s key person if you would like to talk anything through with us first. We are always happy to listen.

The Toddlers had a fantastic time creating their own Elmer pictures inspired by our story of the week, Elmer the Elephant. This activity encouraged lots of conversation as we talked about the different colours on Elmer, and staff joined in by singing the rainbow song while they painted their lovely artworks.
After our painting activity we had a delightful tea party wearing our elephant ear headbands,

The children in the Nursery Room had a lovely time in their very own ice cream parlour, complete with shaving foam ice cream, colourful rice sprinkles, and cones. This activity provided a lovely opportunity to discuss their experiences at home, such as getting ice creams with family and concepts of hot and cold, while using tools to scoop. The shaving foam was fun to squish between their fingers, offering a sensory experience, and it also allowed for imaginative role play as they pretended the ice cream was real. The parlour was open all morning, allowing all the children in today a chance to play and explore as they pleased. Well done, everyone! 🍦🍨🍧
