Bumble Bee class - week beginning 09.11.15

This week in Bumble Bee class our learning activities will be about "Fireworks!" 

We watched a firework display on the interactive whiteboard. We talked about fireworks which we had seen and thought of words to describe them.

Using pipettes, coloured paint and glitter we made a firework background for our display.

At our Fine Motor table we used pretty coloured beads and stones to make these lovely firework patterns. 

We drew firework patterns on big pieces of black paper using coloured chalks. 

We are learning how to write our names using the correct sequence of movements. We can use our name cards to help us, by remembering to start each letter at the red dot and following the arrow in the correct direction. 

On the interactive whiteboard we made firework pictures.

We have enjoyed playing in our Fire Station role play area!

Isobel and Michael worked really hard to finish their fire fighter puzzles, showing great persistence - well done!

We printed with scourers and washing up brushes to make pretty firework pictures.

At our Fine Motor table we threaded sparkly pipe cleaners to make firework rockets. 

This week at nursery we have also been learning how to play simple percussion instruments - bells, tambourine, rainmakers and maracas. 

We had to look at Sue and Karen our conductors to know when to play our instruments and when to stop!
