Sunny days in Nursery

At last the sun is shining and we can really start to enjoy our outside space.

We mixed up our own slime and made patterns using our fingers

We know how important it is to wear an apron to protect our clothes and keep us dry.

We pretend to have a busy day at the office typing out e-mails to our friends.

Then finish our session with a nice cup of tea!

Malleable activities

Manford nursery loves using gloop!

The children help to mix cornflour, water and food colouring, until the mixture has a custard like consistency.





They can stir it, run their fingers through it, squeeze the mixture into a solid, then open their fingers and let the gloop run out like a liquid.

Using gloop in class encourages talk. The children show each other what they are doing and use description to explain what is happening.

Message in a bottle

The children received a special letter from Captain Sunshine. We found it in a bottle, floating in our role play sea.

The letter inspired the children to write messages to the Captain telling him all about their friends. We rolled up the letters and threw them into the sea.

The children were very happy when they received individual letters and many of the children wrote 2 or 3 letters to the Captain over the following week.

Nursery Open Day

Parents were invited to join their children at Nursery. They were able to see some of the activities their children take part in as well as learn about the daily routines their children follow.

The children really enjoyed sharing their day with their family!
