The children came into Nursery very excited this morning after seeing lots of snow on the ground so we decided to get wrapped up warm, put on our wetsuits and wellies and head into the woodland area to explore. The children spoke about how cold the snow was and likened the colour to some of the walls and the big board in nursery. Some children decided to lay in the snow and create snow angels whilst others enjoyed throwing the snow into the air and watching as it sprinkled down over them. Some children even created a snowman by rolling the snow and carefully balancing the balls on top of each other. One child decided the snowman needed a hat and found a cone to use for this, whilst another found some sticks for his arms.
One little girl chose to use bowls as molds and created lots of snow cake for her friends and later opened an 'ice cream' shop. The children used their imaginations wonderfully this morning.
What a lovely morning we had exploring the snow!

This week we have been engaging in lots of experiences that help to develop our fine motors skills so we can be fantastic writers. We have been using our thumb and finger to pinch, pick up, push and hold objects. We have been pinching glitter to help us make firework pictures, picking up and pushing pasta to make hedgehogs in the playdough and threading pasta on pipe cleaners which also develops or hand-eye co-ordination.

Every Thursday morning we have a special treat. Mr Gornor takes us to the hall to help us develop out gross motor skills. This week we have been focusing on skills linked to gymnastics such as balancing and rolling. We have lots of fun and are trying really hard to move our bodies in a controlled way. It's one of the best bits of the week!
