Taste and transport

18th October 2024Angela Ruffles

The 2 year old children have been continuing to learn all about their senses. This week they have been learning about taste, and that their tongue has something funny called ‘taste buds’ on it.

 

The 30 hour children have been completing challenges this week to work together to make different types of transport. They made a boat, complete with sea and fish…

    

They then made a car. Harper even added ‘lights’, and they drew a road.

   

Challenges complete!

Nursery

All around the world

11th October 2024Angela Ruffles

The 30 hour children have been very busy learning about different countries around the world. They have been finding out about where they are and who lives there. They have also been trying to think of how they could travel there.

 

They have also made their own ‘find the country’ game!

 

 

The 2 year old children have been using their sense of smell this week to smell some nice and ‘not so nice’ smells. They have been smelling orange, lemon, chocolate, soap, vinegar, curry, lavender, roses along with others.

Listening and the world around us

4th October 2024Angela Ruffles

The 2 year old children have made their own ‘listening ears’ to help them to hear different sounds around them. They enjoyed trying to figure out what sounds they could hear indoors and outside.

 

The 30 hour children have been finding out more about the world. They have looked at maps of the world, finding the different countries that they are learning about and are making their own as a group, adding their own labels too.

What can you see?

20th September 2024Angela Ruffles

The 2 year old children have been learning all about sight this week.

They have explored binoculars and made their own, looked how things change through coloured gels and used a torch to light up the area. Some of the children even found a dinosaur!

Being me in my world

13th September 2024Angela Ruffles

The 2 year old children have been painting self portraits onto paper plates.

They have been checking in the mirror to see what colour hair and eyes they have. I am very impressed with their pictures.

 

The children in the 30 hour room are thinking about people from other cultures, they have started to find out about Japan and decided to make a collage picture. They have worked together as a group to produce a fantastic piece of work.

Welcome to Nursery

6th September 2024Angela Ruffles

We have had a very busy first few days in Nursery, we have made lots of new friends and the older children have been helping to show the new children how to look after the toys, how to line up smartly and more importantly, how to have lots of fun.

Space rockets and other types of transport

By Angela Ruffles1st March 2024

The 2 year old children have been busy learning all about different types of transport. They have made cars to travel in. Used cars to make tracks. Drawn their own pictures of transport.

 

 

The 30 hour children have been learning about what is underground. They have been digging in the garden to see what they could find. They found lots of worms, and even some flowers that had started to grow. So they looked at the roots and decided that they would like to make some flowers of their own.

 

The children in the main room are learning all about Space. We have our own space station in the classroom with a rocket!

We have been very busy making planets this week to put in the Space area. It took us a very long time.

We even made our own alien pictures!

Chinese New Year

By Angela Ruffles9th February 2024

This week we have been celebrating The Year of the Dragon. We have been learning all about why the years are named after animals, and who cheated when competing in the race across the river.

We have been learning how to use chop sticks, made lanterns, plates of noodles, noodle prints, dragon masks and the 30 hour children even made their own spring rolls.
