Thank you to all the parents and their children who attended our “Messy Play” workshop this week. Together they made stretchy slime, cloud fluff corn flour, mouldable sand and explored the multiple uses of rice and spaghetti. Everyone had lots of fun whilst learning about the importance of messy play at nursery. An added bonus was that they got a pot of slime to take home!

Thank you to all the parents who attended our “Coffee Morning/Afternoon.” It was lovely to see you making new friendships, sharing ideas and thoughts on parenting whilst enjoying a hot drink and some tasty biscuits. We hold these sessions regularly throughout the year so look out for the posters for our next one and come along.

This week children and parents from our Ladybird (two year old) class went on an exciting autumn walk through Grange Park. We observed the changes to the trees in autumn, listened to the nature sounds and collected lots of leaves, sticks, acorns and conkers which we brought back to nursery to explore further next week.

Watching sparklers from a safe distance was a very exciting experience for the children!

The children really enjoyed creating a collaborative fireworks painting. Learning this new paint flicking technique was lots of fun and they were able to recreate their experiences of Guy Fawkes Night. The children also learnt new words to describe the noises the fireworks made such as crackle, fizz, bang, whoosh!

It was great to see so many parents and their children attending the Digital Learning workshop this week. Together they had the opportunity to explore our wealth of IT learning resources which are available to the children in our nursery. The ‘Wonder Bugs’ were particularly popular, also available were Rugged Racers remote control trucks, Blue-Bot programmable devices, Mini-Mash software and age appropriate ipads apps.
