Everyone meet Tinsel Snickerdoodle our Elf that has come to visit nursery.

He brought us a tree and some decorations to make nursery all nice for Christmas, We wonder what he will get up too when we are not around.

Tomorrow is party day in nursery so we are all very excited to see what fun we are going to have.

Friday 7th November

We made edible sparklers where we used melted chocolate and sprinkles to create our yummy sparklers. The children enjoyed watching the chocolate melt before we could dip our breadsticks and add our sprinkles.

This week Snow Leopards have been really busy, we have done lots of craft activities relating to Bonfire night and fireworks. We made water colour fireworks, hand print bonfire pictures and hedgehog hand print pictures. We have also done lots of Maths on Space, Shape and Measure, we have completed insert puzzles, looked at shapes and their names and building towers.

In Snow Leopards we have been looking at our topic Harvest.  The children have enjoyed shadow matching fruit and vegetables, role play at a fruit and veg shop and learning about all different crops that grow above and below the ground. The children have also enjoyed being creative and creating a scarecrow hat collage and a cotton reel printing of a tractor.

On Friday 28th March we invited our lovely mums, grandmas and carers into the setting for a Mother’s Day tea party. We had lots of lovely activities out which included planting sunflowers with Charlie, icing biscuits with Clare and Maddie and lots of toys to enjoy with the children’s grown up. Towards the end of the session we all enjoyed some lovely cakes and squash with a story.

Today we had lots of fun in the sunshine, we played football, water painting, crazy soap, chalking and lots of ribbon play.

World book day was lots of fun, we had three Peter rabbits, a Chick and the Gruffalo came to play. We made Snow Leopards paper plates and learnt lots of interesting facts about where they live and what they like to eat.

Today we made a daffodil picture for St David’s day, the children loved exploring with the paint to create their picture.

On Monday afternoon we had a fantastic time with our story teller friend Sal, we sang lots of songs and played lots of fun games relating to the songs.

On Wednesday we made our bread and our own butter which we absolutely loved doing it was hard work making the butter all that shake shake shaking.
