All the children have been very busy this week at Monkeymoos and have got involved in some amazing activities and really enjoyed the sunshine at last. We have loved getting out and about or spending time in the gardens. We all got involved in international dance day on Monday where all the children and staff showed us what funky moves they have. We all enjoyed trying different ways to move around to the different types of music and expressing our thoughts and feelings.

Worthing have welcomed a new friends this week, He is Marvin the Monkey!!! Marvin will get the opportunity to go home with all the children within the nursery at some point through out their time here at Monkeymoos. We can not wait to see all the fun adventures Marvin gets involved in with our families. The children are all very excited and can not wait for their time to take him home.

There has also been some great activities from all the nurseries over the week which include children going to the beauty parlour and designing their own makeup or face paint. The children got to express their own ideas and the creating them using lots of different resources. The children have enjoyed going on a bug hunt and using tweezers to move all the different textures to see who was sleeping in the under growth. We then explored one of the children’s favourite books which is “The Creature Choir” the children enjoyed getting involved in recreating the story using their own musical instruments whilst the staff read the story to them. We also looked at the different animals and what musical instruments they where playing.

It has been a very busy week this week, as well as getting involved in all the fun activities. We have also gone into a new month ‘MAY’. We are very excited to started exploring our country of the month ‘SPAIN’ and one of the children’s favourite books ‘ROOM ON THE BROOM’. We can not wait to show you all the fun activities we get up to!!!!
