This week we have been using our brand new sets of claves to tap to a beat. We have explored lots of different ways that we can play the claves.

Continuing our fascinations in Autumn treasures, we have this week explored hammering golf tees into pumpkins. The children have absolutely loved this activity and returned to it frequently throughout the week, all the while developing hand and finger strength.

This week we have been exploring and identifying different instrumental sounds. The children have really enjoyed playing the instruments and moving to the beat of the music.

The children enjoyed picking apples from our orchard last week, comparing their size and shape and thinking of new ways to reach the highest apples. Following this, we used some of them to make our own apple cupcakes for the following days snack…..Delicious!

This week the children in Nursery have loved getting to know our Early Years pets; Ginger the guinea pig and our two chickens. We talked about what they look like and the children were very interested in feeding them and learning about what the animals eat.

What a wonderful week back at Nursery we have had, connecting with friends and building new relationships. There has been lots to explore and of course we have enjoyed lots of outdoor water play in this beautiful weather.
