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.

As part of our Diwali celebrations the children have been learning the story of “Rama and Sita” which is a traditional story told by families to their children during Diwali. Our children have been watching the story on YouTube and have learnt all about the main characters and storyline. Today they had a very special treat as one of our staff dressed up as the character Sita and retold the now familiar story to the children who were captivated to see it come to life before their eyes!!

This week the children have been learning all about the Hindu festival of light called Diwali. They have been learning about Rangoli patterns, which are traditional patterns made from coloured rice, created to welcome visitors to a home during Diwali. The children have been making their own Rangoli patterns at the nursery. They created them at the entrance to welcome parents and children to our nursery using powder paint and glitter.

This week the children have been using the natural resources they collected during our autumn walk to Grangewood Park to make a large scale collage. They included various leaves, twigs, feathers, conkers and acorns. Children have also been making their own smaller collages using the same materials
