What busy children we have!!



Outdoor Fun














Out and About
It's good to see so many children are managing to get out for fresh air and exercise. We wonder what you can see on your daily walk?




 Lots of children have been telling us they have been out on their bikes. What a good way to exercise.

Living Things
This week you have been looking after plants and seeds, checking on the tadpoles, and looking for bugs.



 What creatures do you think might live in a bug house/hotel?


Look what's in the net! Can you remember what was in it last week?


Checking the pond. How many tadpoles do you think are in the pond?

Here are some of the tadpoles from the pond. What's going to happen when they grow?

                                           

Making a nature picture

Painting and drawing outside





 We can be creative inside too.......

Thankyou

You have been telling us you have been joining in every Thursday night's Clap for Carers.



 We want to thank you all for keeping in touch with us while we can't go to Nursery.

Thank you for sending us all your photos and videos to put on the Blog. We are really sorry that we can't always fit them all on. Please keep sending us photos, we like to see what the children have been doing even if we can't squeeze them all on the Blog.

We hope the boys and girls are enjoying seeing their friends (and themselves) on the Blog as much as the Nursery team are.
We can't believe how busy everyone is at home.
The Blog is also a good way to share the activities and fun things you are doing, and might give you more ideas of things to try.

Look after yourselves and each other
Take care and stay safe

The Nursery Team x

Rain, Rain, come back another day

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. Well done Harvey Counting and recording how many things we see on our walks It's good to be able to see Nursery when we are on our bikes What can you find on the beach?

It's time to play

We have really enjoyed keeping in touch with our families over the phone and with emails during lock-down. As time has gone on we asked parents if they could ask their children what they have liked or disliked about lock-down. Some of the boys and lasses drew pictures to share their ideas.  A lot of you have said you miss coming to Nursery, and we miss seeing you all too.  Lots of boys, girls, and mums and dads have said they have enjoyed being able to spend more time together. We can see that you are having fun spending time with your families, and are so busy with lots of different activities. Name activity We have really liked seeing and hearing about how the children are getting on with their weekly activities. A few groups have been looking for things at home that begin with the letters from their names. Well done everyone who has done this as there are some tricky letters to find. It's even more tricky looking for letters outside because things d
