We have had a wonderful week exploring lots of different activities around National Days. The children have been enjoying Jeans for Genes’s day, the children all wore their favourite jeans to nursery and they got to learn all about different genes that we are born with!
We have also celebrated ‘Talk like a pirate day’!! The children all got to dress up and pretend they were a pirates for the day. The children also took part in a variety of different activities such as walking the plank, making their very own treasure maps and then going for a walking around the community looking for different shaped treasure.
And lastly we enjoyed celebrating make a hat day, the children were able to make different types of hats using lots of different resources!!
Today the children had so much fun playing in our pirate themed boat. They all took it in turns to play in it and told their grown ups they were going to the sea to find all the treasure. 👦👧🏴☠️🛶
In our tuff tray we had a finding treasure activity. The treasure was hidden in soft flour and the children used their hands to find all the treasure. 👦👧💍👑
This morning the children painted a cardboard box to make a treasure chest. They used brown paint and all did so well to take it in turns to paint. They did this as a group activity and it was lovely watching all children work together. 👦👧📦🎨
Babies have been super busy today as well.
They have joined in with finding treasure in the tuff tray in the main room. Once found they showed it to their grown ups. 👶👩💍
They also had lots of fun playing in their own tray with shaving foam. They really enjoyed putting their hands in the foam and squeezing it. Plenty of mess today. 👶🖐
