This week, following on from the children’s interests in babies, we set up a ‘Baby Clinic’ role play area. The children have been introduced to this theme by watching educational video clips of parents bringing their babies to a clinic to have a check up and to be weighed. The children have been learning new language relating to this such as, stethoscope, thermometer, weighing scales, examine and injection. The children have used the props provided to re-enact baby clinic scenarios in their role play.

Safer Internet Week – February 2019

This week the children have been learning about prepositions (positional language) e.g. over/under, in/out, across/beneath, up/down etc. They have had the story ‘Rosie’s Walk’ read to them to help them understand what prepositions are all about. Then they have been using the nursery’s indoor and outdoor equipment to demonstrate the prepositions they have learnt. We took photos of the children doing this and have made several books for the children to look through to embed their knowledge.

As the weather this week has been so bitterly cold, the children have had the opportunity to participate in a soup making activity. They took turns to cut up a range of vegetables put them into the saucepan then observed as the adult cooked it. The finished soup was given out at snack time and lots of the children really enjoyed it! Cooking with your child is valuable activity as it helps your child to develop fine motor skills, eye hand coordination, an awareness of good food hygiene practices and even early concepts of maths and science.
