Planning Wall



New Lost Property
 
Autumn at Papdale
On Friday last week we took advantage of the lovely weather and went to The Willows. While there the children explored the woods, looking at different types of trees and plants. We played Hide and Seek. Some children collected sticks for a camp fire, others were comparing sizes with the sticks.

 


 Children are continuing to use the resources collected outside in their play in different areas of the Nursery.


We are still adding our ideas to the floor-book. You will be able to see out floor-books around the Nursery at the Drop-in evening. 

 
 
 
Trips
Some of the children have been on trips this week. Because we have are such a busy nursery we have moved away from whole nursery trips. By going in smaller groups we feel we can plan trips relevant to children's interests, and they can be a richer learning experience. We have trips throughout the year which we plan to follow interests we have observed in Nursery.
 
This week two groups went to visit the pier. Some of the Moppies went a visit to the Earl Thorfinn and were shown around by one of our dads. We were shown the different areas of the boat, and even got to sit in the Captain's chair.


 Bacon roll anyone?

 Another group went to the pier to see the different typed of boats. We were excited to see the lifeboat, ferries and one of our dad's working on a fishing boat. We looked out for signs and other environmental print on the way.
 What types of boat can we see?

 
Back in Nursery
 

Teamwork in the sand

 Where could we go?
 Co-operation is needed when working together

 We can build all sorts of things with the blocks - a house, boat, plane, obstacle course - just a few of the things we have seen this week

There's no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes. But here at Papdale we are prepared for all weathers! We had lots of fun going on puddle hunts after the rain The Secret Garden We are learning to keep safe in the garden - we talk about fire safety, what plants are safe to touch, and we are risk assessing our play as we climb. And we are always on the lookout for bugs and "mystery creatures".  Staying safe near the fire " You can't go past the line or you will get burnt" Snack in the Secret Garden Out and about Before we go on walks we talk about the rules which keep us safe. We know grown ups help us stay safe We have been noticing signs of Autumn - leaves changing colour and falling from the trees, and berries on the trees  We have been planting more of our new planters Making a wormery- following the children's interest in bugs Obstacle courses Hide and seek We were excited to talk to the workmen to see what they were doing Worm spotting

Fun Outdoors

We have been really lucky to have lots of bonnie weather since Nursery closed. You have certainly been making the most of it and have been spending lots of time outside. Just like the indoors photos we can see so much learning going on. It might be 'just playing' to the children but they are learning so much from siblings and parents. Nature A farmers work is never done. How many sheep can you see? Hold on tight Searching for tadpoles Out and about Donating birthday party eggs to the hardworking ambulance workers.
