We recycled the milk cartons to make watering cans to water our plants in the garden.
The children in Blue group had lots of fun watering the plants. When the watering cans were empty,
some of the children refilled them using the water from the water tray using the jugs and bottles.
We wonder could you make something at home using recycled materials?
Baking Banana muffins
We had some over ripe bananas in Blue group so we decided to make some banana muffins.
The children all chose a job to do: peeling the bananas, mashing them, mixing the ingredients together, putting the cake cases into the muffin tin, then sharing the mixture into the cases.
While they were cooking, the children could smell them. They smelled delicious!
Maybe you could try making these at home. We’d love to hear all about the things you cook at home!

*We swapped the eggs for an egg substitute.
The children have enjoyed reading The three Little Pigs.
Following interest from the story we have had a busy week outside. We have built houses out of boxes, used a clothes drier and packaging from a box to create a house. The children made a fire from a box to cook the food.
The children have also enjoyed playing with the babies, they dressed them and took them for walks.
The children have enjoyed learning new songs and dances this week.
We have danced with pom poms, material, the parachute and bubbles.
They love to make the ‘popcorn’ jump off the parachute!
The children have been reading the ‘Three Little Pigs’ and have enjoyed lots of activities to support this.
They have been building a straw, stick and brick house outside in the nursery garden, as well as baking their own pig biscuits.
We were so excited on Monday…. Our water wall, which we have been waiting for was delivered to nursery.
The children put on their wetsuits and wellies and had so much fun exploring all of the pipes, funnels and water wheels.
Exploring the flow of the water and jumping in the puddles was very popular!
This led to lots of imaginative play in the mud kitchen with the children transporting the water to make mud,’ cups of tea’ and lots of delicious food for ‘dinner’.
Over the last two weeks, Rainbow group have been reading Elmer and learning all about patterns.
They have explored Elmer books, coloured Elmer by numbers and made Elmer biscuits.
They have even created their own patterns using natural materials found in the garden.
We look forward to the upcoming weeks where their knowledge of pattern will extend even further!
The children have enjoyed having Little Kickers in nursery this week.
They have followed simple instructions and took turns to practise their balls skills.
Blue group children have had a lovely week welcoming their new friends into Nursery.
We have enjoyed exploring indoors and outdoors.
We are learning our friend’s names and finding out what we like to play with.
We are looking forward to getting to know each other during this term.
