Week 10

What an exciting and busy week for the children.  They had the opportunity to use the paddling pool this week, those who joined in had great fun.  They have very much enjoyed playing with our new 'Small World' toys - castle, dolls house, farm, fire station and boat.  Our new 'climbing wall' has finally been erected and is fully operational.  This has allowed the children to practice an additional skill.  The current theme is still weather and there are no end of activities related to this theme.

Nursery children have coloured pictures of umbrellas, done wind experiments and have created pictures of trees throughout the different seasons.  They have concentrated on the circle shape and are revising the colours.  They are learning new songs during circle time, in particular 'Wind the bobbin up'.

Preschool children have been learning the shape, sound and name for the letter 'n'.  They have been introduced to number 7 and are learning to count objects carefully pointing to each object one at a time. They are using musical instruments to focus and improve their listening skills.  They have taken advantage  of the cooler weather by spending plenty of time outdoors.  They made kites which provided much outdoor entertainment and they enjoyed using the parachute and having tricycle races.
