Exploring the world beyond nursery
The children went on an adventure down the lane behind nursery. They noticed the frost and how it was magically disappearing where the sun was shining. ‘it sounds crunchy like my breakfast’ one child said
They also found some strange foot prints – what could they be from? the children suggested ‘someone came walking with 2 big feet in the night’, was it Spiderman, an elephant, a lane monster??
One child noticed ‘they have round feet – its a horse’ then when they saw the horse they were very excited. later when they found some katkins they stroked them and said they felt like the horse.
They also noticed that some bulbs were sprouting – take a look with your child and see if you can see any signs of Spring around where you live
Caring for the animals and birds around Windsor
The children were very interested to note that the apple they left out last week had been munched on – possibly by a vole. They then used an apple with its core removed, some sunflower seeds, some cheerios and some sticks and string to make bird feeders. The children took them home to hang up in their gardens.
BIRD WATCHING
This week the children have been taking time to do a spot of bird watching using their binoculars. They really looked carefully to see which birds they could see and hear. One of the children said ‘there are millions of seagulls’
The children also spotted an aeroplane in the sky – a bit bigger than a bird!
