Today in the under 3s room we connected and disconnected different sized blocks by sticking them together with shaving foam and then taking them apart to Create something else. Some children made animals and others made trains ☺️

We had so much fun today playing with shaving foam in the tuff tray. We decided to add different colours and we made lots of circles, shapes and marks with our fingers in the foam. We used lots of different descriptive words like ‘soft’ and ‘squashy’ and ‘yuck’ to describe what the foam felt like.

This week we used our hands and cardboard tubes to make firework paintings. We talked about the noises and the colours that fireworks make in the night sky and we used our fine motor skills and creativity to make our own fireworks paintings.

We had so much fun yesterday doing large firework painting in the art area. We discussed the sound fireworks make and the different colours and shapes we had seen as we watched videos of them on the iPad. We can’t wait to display it on our wall 🎆 ❤️

We used our senses to explore our Autumn water tray. There were lots of different smells and textures from the oranges and cinnamon sticks to explore. We used our fine motor skills to pour and mix things together. The spiders were a little bit scary but we were very brave and held them in our hand.

We made banana and oat cookies. We used our fine motor skills to mash up bananas then listened carefully to the recipe so we knew what ingredients we needed and how much we should measure. We mixed everything together then rolled our cookies and cooked them in the oven. They smelled delicious. Yum!

Following on from interest in casting magic spells. We made magic playdough adding glitter and using cauldrons to ‘cook’ our potion. We also explored pumpkin seeds making faces in the playdough, discussing our emotions 🎃 🪄 we also learned how to draw a spider web practicing our fine motor skills 🕸️

Thank you to one of our parents who kindly donated a bubble lamp to the nursery for our nurture space. the children have loved watching the fish float in the bubbles as the colours changed 🐠 🫧

The children chose our new story of the moment. They each had a vote. When they had all voted, they counted them and ‘The Gingerbread Man’ had the most. We discussed the story and some children helped Nadine find props for it. We also watched the story on the smart board at the end of the day❤️

Today we went for a walk to find some twigs and leaves to make a comfy and cosy nest for our owl babies. Afterwards we had fun using our gross motor skills at the park, sliding, swinging and climbing.
