Spring time play and crafting

We have been spending a little time practicing our pencil grip and control. Here George is using a chalk pen, they are great (we even use them on the windows sometimes).

The boys are outside, enjoying some time to investigate the amount of water that has gathered in the tyres. One found a star fish in the sand area and took it up to put it in the water, telling us "it needs water to survive". Also ‘double trouble’ gathering water for their mud pies! Our poor mud kitchen took a bit of a battering in the recent gales, but this doesn’t stop us having some messy outdoor fun!

​​Coinneach has just joined us – he has had a great first week, particularly exploring our outdoor area.  He enjoyed climbing our tyre climbing frame and investigating our tyre ladder. 

​​Olivia is loving covering Daddy Pig in bubbles. She spent ages playing in the water and extending the bubble blowing to make patterns.

​​Ceitidh is enjoying the feeling of the artificial snow, making her animals get stuck in the snow for her to rescue. The artificial snow is dry powder, mixed with water to make snow, which felt cold to the touch.  Our winter theme is coming to an end.

​​Seonaidh is taking his time gluing his torn pieces of tissue paper onto his snowflake as part of our winter topic. Seonaidh spent quite a bit of time deciding which colour to put where.

​​Miller enjoying some creating time at the art easel. She loves to explore different brush strokes and has good control of the paint brush. Miller is making a purple shape to go on the colour wall.

​​Jo loving the texture of the paint and getting her hands messy. This is an orange shape to be added to the colour wall, a visual tool to become more aware of ‘na dathan’.

Number recognition is part of the daily routine in the nursery. Some of the children in the 2-5 room took part in an activity where they were given a number between 1-10 and were to count out the correct number of blocks to match that number.

They made their own snowflakes using glue and salt, and some "snow slime" for some sensory play.

They went for a walk on a frosty morning to find some puddles frozen over with ice, and found some ice to take into the nursery to see what would happen to it.
