Following on from reading Aliens Love Underpants we made the salt dough aliens. We mixed the dough together and chose the colours. Then we used eyes and feathers to create these unique aliens. Some children even named their alien.

The children have discovered that they can use blocks to build just about anything. Today it’s a car for a trip to the park. I wonder what it will be tomorrow?

The children love the freedom of using a notepad. They can take it to different places and make a note that they can look at later on. There’s something private and secretive about using a notepad that seems to give children more confidence to make marks. If you have any notepads at home that you no longer require please send them our way. Thank you!

Thank you to all the parents that were able to stay and play at nursery this morning. The children agreed that it was lovely!

The children noticed that Elsa had “put her powers everywhere” and then had a go at mark making in the frost.

We decided to make vegetable soup on our cookery day. The children decided some of the different vegetables that they’d like to put in it and then they helped to chop up them up. It was quite tricky as some of the vegetables were quite hard. We cooked the soup in our kitchen. When It was ready we had a taste. Yum yum! Super soup!

Following on from reading Whatever Next some of the children made their own rockets. We used environmental packaging: bottles, boxes and tubes. Working alongside an adult enabled them to plan their rockets and learn to use glue, masking tape and gum strip to join. Afterwards we sprayed them silver…. Whoosh!!!

The children love to climb the trees in our garden. This encourages them to take risks while engaging in nature.
