This week the children were very excited at the arrival of the Christmas trees. I think you’ll agree, they made a great job of decorating.

This week has been Nursery Rhyme Week in nursery and the children have been singing, making puppets and even baking nursery rhyme cakes. At the end of the week, parents were invited into nursery for a nursery rhyme quiz and to hear the children singing. All the children also received a lovely nursery rhyme picture book.

The aim of the week was to stress to parents , the importance of Nursery Rhymes in the language development of their child.

How much fun can be had with some corn flour and water as the children enjoyed experimenting with the “Gluck”!

This week, for a little change, we learned some Tai Chi movements to relax everyone after lunch. The music was very calming and the children responded well with everyone willing to give it a try.

Some of the children have been making puppets this week and enjoying acting out stories with them. Great imagination and expressive language.

It’s Bonfire Night and the children were using a splatter technique in the paint area to create these sparkly firework pictures.

We also toasted some marshmallows over a real fire bowl.

Lots of fun today with costumes, pumpkins, dookin and donuts. We even had “pin the tail” on the witches cat!
