Take a look at how the children have responded to having real chicks in nursery. It is clear to see how relaxed they are, intrigued, motivated and how much real learning offers to them
Using real tools
The children have used secateurs this week to cut the willow for the crowns they made
We have named our chicks
Harriot is at the top
Hay Hay is 2nd
Henny Penny is 3rd
Hetty is 4th
It’s amazing what you see in Parkfields
Adventures down the lane – Look what you can find in Parkfields! A turkey called Paxo, a horse called Misty, a pony called Blue and some guinea fowl
The children have been out and about in the beautiful British summertime weather! They loved jumping in puddles. Look at the glee on their faces
New delivery
We had the first of our chicks hatch today – such a fantastic experience for us all
Flower necklaces
The children have been investigating the flowers that are all around us this week. Take a look at how they are developing their reading skills with a real purpose by finding the photographs of flowers they have collected in the reference books and fans.
They have then glued their special flower into an acorn. When they are dry they will use them to make a necklace
Take a look at the flowers around when you are out walking – if you don’t know the names pop in and use the reference books with the children to find out what they are called. Learning is so much more fun when we all learn together and from each other
Change is happening all the time in the outdoors
The children have noticed how the leaves of the trees are opening up and the flowers appearing.
Take time to notice those changes when you are out and about with your child.
They were also very inventive with the sticks – check out whose house they decided to make – a big clue is that the big bad wolf might come along and blow it down!
