We have had a wonderful and busy week we have had exploring lots of different activities around National Days. The children have had fun learning all about TONGA. Where TONGA is located, what animals you might find and lots of different fun facts all about TONGA! The children also enjoyed ‘GET FUNKY DAY’, the children have been able to wear their funkiest clothes to nursery to show all their friends. Some of the children came to nursery wearing white tops as they were involved in completing a colour run to see how many colours they can get on their tops. Also the children got to decorate their tops using as many colours as they could. And lastly the children have enjoyed MAD HATTERS DAY, the children enjoyed making their own cups of tea and jam sandwiches to join in with their MAD HATTERS DAY. The children also enjoyed making their very own MAD HATTERS HATS.
We started the day getting creative 🎨 decorating our very own neon 🎨 shirts 👕. We used our hands 🙌, fingers 👆paintbrushes 🖌 and paint sponges 🧽 to add the paint 🎨 all over the T-shirts. We used lots of different colours such as pink 💕, blue 💙, yellow 💛 orange 🧡 and green 💚. We made handprints and lots of different patterns.
We then got physical taking part in a party 🎉. We listened to lots of music 🎶, did lots of dancing 💃 and waved glow sticks. We used our motor skills to grasp onto the stick and wave 👋🏻 it around.

Today the children enjoyed playing in the “Let’s go fishing” tuff tray. There were lots of different fish for the children to sort through and put in to bowls. They all took it in turns to use a fishing rod and did really well to use their hand eye coordination to collect the fish with a fishing rod. 👧👦🎣
Today the children have enjoyed spending some time together doing some peg puzzles. They all sat around choosing a different board to do and focused for a long amount of time doing them. Just come and take a look. 👧👦👀🧩

Today the babies have enjoyed having their feet painted by their grown ups. They laughed as it tickled their feet and then we stamped down on to black paper. Just wait till you see what they will be. 👶👩🎨👣
Babies have also spent the day enjoying some time with the duplo bricks putting the bricks together and having their grown ups help them and play with them. They liked it when their grown ups helped them. 👶👩🧱
Today we have been exploring the country of the week Tonga. We found out it was really known for having rain 🌧 forests 🌳 so we put on our aprons and began to paint 🎨 our own versions of stain forest.
As all countries have different buildings full of different sizes, we put our building skills to use and built the biggest tower and building, just like the one ☝️ in Tonga! 🇹🇴
Next stop! We are getting so good with recognising our names and forming the letters.✏️ A fun and exciting way to get involved with name writing was to put our arts and crafts skills to use. We cut ✂️ And ripped some magazines and then added them to the lines of each letter of our name.
To finish off we had lots of garden fun! We jumped of the tyres 🛞 and looked underneath for bugs 🐞 and all creatures, big and small. We have been reading 📖 stories in the sunshine ☀️ and riding around on bikes.
