A Day In Our Nursery
What’s Been Happening At Our Nursery
The children loved exploring the wonderful items they found on their autumn hunts! We began by sitting together and talking about all the treasures they brought in — including conkers, colourful leaves, and acorns. Using PVA glue and spreaders, we worked together to create a big autumn collage, adding some card leaves and fun feathers too! The children used their fine motor skills beautifully to spread the glue and problem-solve how to stick their items down. Fantastic teamwork and creativity, everyone!🍀🍃🍁
The children have been thoroughly enjoying messy play recently. Today, they took part in a fun “potions” activity, where they spent around five minutes exploring a range of textures and materials. They enthusiastically filled and emptied containers, using spoons to scoop, pour, and mix a variety of ingredients in their buckets. The children experimented with different combinations, showing curiosity and creativity as they observed how the materials changed when mixed together.
Autumn Nature Hunt 🍂
This week the children enjoyed taking part in an Autumn themed scavenger hunt in the garden.
They worked together to look for different colour leaves, pine cones, acorns and other Autumnal objects.

Today, the children had a fantastic time playing with colourful rice in four vibrant shades: purple, green, red, and yellow. We focused on exploring different colours and textures, which really helped enhance our sensory experiences. To support the children’s development, we added spoons to the mix. This not only made the activity fun but also boosted their skills for mealtime. The activity involved several key areas of development: - **Physical Development:** The children practised fine motor skills by scooping the rice and picking up tiny grains with their fingers. - **Speech and Language:** As they explored, we named the colours, and many children began to express their observations. - **Expressive Arts and Design:** The activity allowed for creativity as they played with the various colours 🌾🌾

This week, the children really enjoyed the Play-Doh activity! They learned so much, developing fine motor skills and coordination while fostering creativity and problem-solving. Additionally, it helped expand their vocabulary through descriptive play and strengthened their social-emotional skills, like cooperation and self-expression😊😊

This morning, we had a wonderful time exploring our sensory light cubes! The children practiced their fine motor skills by switching them on and off and rotating them to change colours. We also encouraged coordination and teamwork as they built a tower together before having a great time knocking it down. What an enjoyable activity🔦🔦

This morning in the Toddler room, the children found a Ladybug in the garden and observed its exploration. We discussed the importance of being gentle with insects and letting them explore. In the afternoon, we set up a tuff tray with artificial grass, water, and raisins for the bugs. This activity deepened the children`s understanding of insects and their habitats, allowing them to experience different textures and learn to respect the space of other living creatures🐞🐜🪰

This morning in the Toddler room, the children discussed friendships and their playmates at nursery, prompting us to create a handprint display for them to enjoy daily. We cut out card circles and let the children choose their own primary colours. They commented on the coldness of the paint and found it “tickly”, which sparked laughter. This activity enhanced their personal, social, and emotional development while fostering friendships and communication skills. Using various materials allowed the children to explore expressive arts and design, furthering their colour knowledge. Well done, everyone🎨🎨🖌️
