Going on a Mini Beast Hunt….

We all had lots of fun and lots of scares when we went looking for insects this term.

Our 2 year old children where very inquisitive we looked at insect books, we did lots of colouring insect pictures and we look at bugs through the magnifying glass.

Most of all we enjoyed going outside on an insect bug hunt….

We all looked under logs and stones….

then we went for a run about on the school field.

Spring growing

Thetopic for the next few weeks in 2yo Nursery is spring growing. We have been planting seeds, watching them grow and finally planting them outside. We have all enjoyed playing in the compost.

All the children printed beautiful flower pictures using lovely bright coloured paints.

Well done 2 year olds we did some great mark making too….

We where all very excited when the 3 year old nursery let us see the baby chicks..

Playdough – Farm Animals

Our topic last week was farm animals and playdough proved to be a popular activity with our 2 year old nursery children. Playdough has many benefits, it develops children’s fine motor skills, it encourages creativity, social interaction and sharing. It also enhances hand eye co-ordination, language skills, as well as having a calming effect.

Dinosaurs

We talked about different shapes and colours while playing with our dinosaur puzzles and games, we have very clever children in our 2 year old nursery. The children also joined in with colouring dinosaur pictures and making dinosaur footprints with paint.

Lots of sensory play during our dinosaur topic too. The children crumbled shredded wheat, picked up oats and scooped up snow.

Snow days at nursery are ACE!

Birdwatch

During our birdwatch topic there were plenty of activities for the children to take part in.

They explored bird seed.

The children made a bird picture using glue sticks and feathers and used crayons to colour in bird pictures too

We had our very own bird hide in the nursery and we used binoculars during our outdoor play to spot birds up high in the sky. The children enjoyed feeding our school chickens and had lots of fun on our birdwatch walk on the school playground.

Christmas in 2YO nursery

Christmas is a very Exciting time of the year for young children, all the bright flashing lights, all the different colours and not forgetting all the singing we do.

We started christmas off with decorating the christmas tree

We welcomed all our parents in to the 2YO nursery for the Christmas stay and play session

all the parents help the children do christmas crafts and to fishish the session we all sang christmas carols with the children.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
