Hello everybody,

What another busy week we have had in nursery. This week we have been doing lots of of wonderful experiences based on The Gruffalo as some of the children were showing great interest in this. We have been for a walk to the forest and found some Gruffalo numbers. We also found some Gruffalo biscuits which we quickly ate before he came back looking for them. We did take lots more photos of the forest but sadly they wont all upload on here so some will also be posted on dojo for you to have a look.

We collected apples and pears from one of school’s trees and made a gruffallo crumble .It was yummy. We helped to chop the apples and pears and helped to mix in the flour and the sugar. We had to watch the teachers put it in the oven as we talked about the oven being too hot and we mustn’t touch it.

      

The next day, we  told the children we would be making Scrambled snake from the story, they quickly guessed it would be scrambled egg. The children helped Miss Hill to mix the egg and the dairy free butter into the bowl. We talked about how the mixture would turn into scrambled eggs, and the children knew we had to cook it. We put it in the microwave and watched it turn into scrambled egg. This was delicious and we enjoyed it very much.

  

We have enjoyed re telling the gruffalo story with puppets and doing some gruffalo colouring.

 

The children are fantastic and constantly learning, each opportunity is a learning experience. The children have enjoyed lots of other activities through their exploration. Here are some more wonderful photos.

We welcomed Jack into our nursery this week and he has already settled brilliantly. The children are developing each and every day and you can help at home by encouraging independence as much as possible. You could ask your child to put on their own coat, or their own shoes, or you could let them help prepare for mealtimes. The children are very independent and inquisitive learners and will keep growing in confidence with every opportunity given.

 

 

We say it every week but your children are wonderful. We look forward to next weeks adventures. Also, this week we have been inspired by Eva in nursery who wasn’t feeling very well so took Lenny dog home. Her mummy and daddy brought in a wonderful pic collage of her adventures. Thankyou for sharing these with us.

So we have introduced Henry and Henrietta hippo  who we will be sending home every week with one of the children in a special bag. Please share the book inside with your child and if you could take some photos that would be great. This week Henry and Henrietta will be visiting Winter-Iris house. We hope they have a lovely time.
