This week at Nursery the children's learning activities will be based around the theme of "Harvest".
On Monday we began our week by listening to the story, "The Little Red Hen".
At the Messy Area Table in a tray we each had cornflour mixed with water. We observed and commented on the changes that we saw when we played with the cornflour.
These are some of our observations: -
"It's all slob by, it's all sticky, it's really squelchy" Darcey
"It's really hard to dig up - it's all dry when you chop up, then it goes back" Corey
"It's hard, it's drippy. It feels like ice cream" Nancy
"It feels like slime! I'm sprinkling it in the pot. It's full up" Violet
"I'm watching it melt" Joshua
"My spoon is a scooper spoon. It sticks to our fingers, it's like cake mixture. It's really sticky and wobbly" Sydney
"It feels like duck bread in the water. It's like clouds" Mason
"It changed my spoon is magic!" Michael
Our new role play area is a bedroom. We have enjoyed playing imaginatively together based on our own experiences of bedtime routines.
On Tuesday and Wednesday we made an apple crumble at Nursery. On Tuesday we very carefully cut the apples and cooked them. On Wednesday we sprinkled the crumble mix on top of our cooked apples and then cooked it in the oven. We ate our apple crumble whilst watching a short film all about apples.
We also enjoyed making fruit pies using play dough!
We have enjoyed being Number Detectives in the classroom looking for and recording the numbers 1 and 2 which are hidden in the classroom!
Sorting the numbers 1 and 2.
We ended our week with some spooky Halloween themed activities!
