Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

As always we’ve had an amazing time partying with you all and seeing you in your amazing costumes!

Last week we welcomed Jenny from Little Shakers into our nursery for a Halloween Workshop which consisted of games, dancing and a musical Halloween pumpkin patch 🎃 The children had a fantastic morning getting active and showing off their dance moves.
After lots of dancing and great listening the children finished off their session with colouring and making their own Halloween characters 👻 🧙‍♀️
Huge thank you to Jenny for putting on an amazing workshop for the children ✨

Thank you to all the parents who came to our AUTUMNFEST stay and play 🍁
We loved welcoming you all into the nursery and we had a super time exploring all the activities! 🎃

The children in pre-school enjoyed making sun catchers using autumn leaves. The children were able to recognise the changes that come with autumn. They identified that the leaves go from green to orange, yellow, red and brown, as they fall from the trees.
The children used their fine motor skills to tear the large leaves so they were a better fit. Whilst tearing up the leaves the children used their knowledge of colour to identify all of the colours on the leaves. The children then stuck their autumn leaves onto their paper plate borders. As the children were selecting and sticking their leaves we talked to them about the different textures they could feel, whether they were smooth, rough, crunchy or bumpy.

🎃 🚗 Let’s Race 🚗 🎃

The children have been exploring their senses and fine motor skills. They used small cars to drive around the track and through the pumpkin tunnels. The children also used their senses to smell the pumpkin, feel the pumpkin and listen to the sound of the rice as it fell through their fingers onto the tray. They really enjoyed scooping up the rice and using it to fill the pumpkins.

Autumn Number Recognition 🍁🐿️

The under 2s enjoyed working together to create a piece of autumnal art. The children’s hands were painted using autumnal colours (red, orange, yellow, green and brown), they used their fine motor skills to free paint and create a banner for our under two’s room. They enjoyed exploring the colours and mixing them.

Autumn Fairies 🧚‍♀️ 🍂

The babies enjoyed exploring our autumn tuff tray which included, sticks, dried leaves, pine cones and soil with hidden critter pictures in for them to find using the gardening tools.

This morning the children enjoyed exploring our tuff tray. We spoke about the life cycle of a tree and how vital it is for a healthy environment, providing oxygen, and returning nutrients to the soil to support future growth. We spoke about how it’s important to care for plants and living things. Then we moved onto adding some colour to our leaves using one handed tools (pipettes) the children did really well to control the pipette in squeezing up the paints and holding it to find a cotton wool pad and then letting it go. The children were really creative and had a go at using all the colours e.g red, yellow, orange and brown we spoke about how we can mix yellow and red together to make orange.
