This week we have been exploring painting on ice. We enjoyed watching what happened as the ice melted and all the colours from the paints ran together. Children described it as looking like a rainbow and knew that the ice was melting. They concentrated so well and spent a long time on the activity. We had lots of fun!

We have been working very hard in our construction area building enclosures for a variety of animals. We have worked together and added lots of things for the animals to do and eat. They have had swings and slides, cheese and lots of drinks. We hope you all have a lovely relaxing half term.

This week we have read the story Dear Zoo and in the provision we have enjoyed building enclosures for animals, playing with the zoo animals in the black tray and writing letters to the zoo. Special shout out to Lennie for his amazing writing on the whiteboard where he copied his sentence I like a crocodile. Miss Houghton was so proud of him!

Yesterday was our play workshop for parents, and we had a lovely time playing in the nursery. We loved having our adults join us. Our raffle winners were Zaviyar and Olaife who got to choose a prize out of Miss Houghton's prize box, and Laraib and Alannah who won a book token. 

Yesterday was our second workshop, It's Good to Talk. Laura Murphy, our school speech and language therapist, gave a presentation around how to help support your child at home with their speech and language with some great tips around getting down to their level, extending sentences, singing nursery rhymes and playing phonics games. Our raffle winners were Caleb and Atlas, who chose a prize from the box, and Arvin and Leila, who won a £10 book voucher. Next week's workshop is about play. We hope to see you there!

We have been making some very interesting dinosaurs using a variety of shapes!
