A Busy Nursery

Image
    Planning Wall   Block Play   This week the children have been building structures that they have been jumping from. This involves working co-operatively with others, and assessing risk to see if it feels safe to jump. We are noticing how well the children are turn taking when it's busy, and waiting to help keep each other safe.        Some of the Kettlings have been sharing their experiences of airports and planes at group times. They planned what would be needed to build a plane, before being challenged to build their plane in the block area. As you can see the plane was busy, we even went to the moon to put out a fire. One child did comment though that the hose and fire engine would float away " 'cos there's no gravity in space".       Hard at work building and repairing      Art Area The art area is stocked with a selection of resources whi...

      *Reminder- We close today Friday 11th October. Nursery opens again on Wednesday 30th October*   If your child attends on a Thursday they can dress up for Halloween on the 31st if they would like to. We hope you don't scare us too much!!   On the buses A small group of children went for a very exciting trip this week. They walked down to the Town Hall before catching the bus back to Nursery. They had to check timetables, wait for the bus, and everyone had to give the driver money before they could get their tickets. The bus went around the town before arriving at KGS, where the children got off.       The Secret Garden On our visit to the Secret Garden last week we spoke to the children about the fire-pit and what we had to do to stay safe if we light it. We went up on Tuesday to light the fire. We had a safety talk first, and Miss Williams made a line of flour around the area that we c...
