ELC

    * A peedie reminder that we are out in all weathers (rain, wind, sun, frost and snow) so please ensure that your child comes to Nursery suitably dressed for all occasions * It has been another busy week outdoors as you can see below. We have been learning across all areas of the curriculum during our play.     Developing gross motor skills with the help of our friends  Orientation    Balancing skills  Learning about volume  What do you do if you have no water left in the water butt? A rain dance of course  Technology and communication   Estimating distances       When the rain arrived we had fun filling and transporting water to the sand. Some people dug tracks in the sand while others took the role of carrying water.        Paper planes - we have been discussing how far and how high our planes can go. We  are also learning about speed and direction.   * Reminder - we are close

We have seen more children choosing to go outside this week. As you can see children have a wide variety of opportunities in our outdoor area which they enjoy with friends.       Mark making    Promoting curiosity - sensory experiences    Health and well-being - caring for others    Developing gross motor skills and self risk    Hand eye co-ordination    Digging for treasure    Loos parts - where can we go today?  While outside we can take part in physical activities such as obstacle courses     Planning Wall     Inside Play   Block play- we have seen lots of shared ideas and teamwork in our block areas. We are interested in comparing the height of our creations to our own heights.   " You hold this bit. We're doing it together"    We need to be careful where we position the blocks. " Put the big ones on the bottom" " I need a square next to that square"
