This Week at Flax Bourton

Nursery

This week in Flax Bourton we have been making a splash in our Water World! We have been learning how to use a variety of tools - scoops, jugs and funnels, exploring how they collect water. We love watching the water flow back down! We worked together, pouring water from one jug to another and mixing the water with the squishy foam. We laughed as the jug became so full, the water poured out!

We have been wrapping up warm to spend lots of time in the garden! We have been sitting with our friends chatting away before warming up in the Cosy Cabin. 

To finish off the week we explored a tuff tray filled with cooked spaghetti! We used spoons to mix it from one bowl to another. It was an interesting new texture, and the adults encouraged us to feel it with our hands which some of us did. We used words like 'sticky'!

Kindergarten

This week in Kindergarten we have been developing our imaginative skills in our role play and home corner areas. We confidently explored the dressing up box and acted out scenarios we have experienced from our home environments such as visiting the doctor, popping to the shops or going on a train!

We still have a keen interest in playing and exploring our toys over different levels and transporting toys from one place to another. Using some our loose parts we have made ramps and tunnels to roll balls and cars down. We had to look at the height of the ramp so the toys had enough height to roll and also check that the toy wasn’t too big, otherwise it would get stuck. If it did we then used our problem solving skills to get it out!

We have collectively enjoyed using our outdoor spaces to challenge ourselves. On the balancing beams we keep trying to stay balanced to walk across from one end to the other. On the bikes we are also working on our balance to use the scooters and bikes correctly. The adults had a turn first and told us that we have to put one foot on the scooter and the other on the floor to push along. They then had a race around the track to show us! When it was our go we tried on some helmets to keep us safe and focused on keeping our balance and coordination to get round the track. We then played with the parachute and enjoyed hiding underneath and exploring all the colours.

Pre-School

This week in Pre-School has been so fun!

We have been enjoying our new core book Superworm, and we have even been acting the story out in front of our friends. Building has been the highlight of this week. Our friends have been exploring the room and have found lots of different loose parts and equipment to build houses, princess castles and many towers! We have also been interested in patterns, dinosaurs and of course reading wonderful stories in our new cozy corner! The sandpit has been very popular too, where recently we have enjoyed the fascination of digging all the way to the bottom of the pit where we find treasure! 

Outside play has been amazing too. We have enjoyed making dens and houses with our loose parts area. of course the balance bikes had great use, and we even had the parachute to play with! Balancing on the obstacle courses was very funny as we did many wiggles! To finish the week off, we sat under the shelter, listened to the rain and watched the birds flying. Well done Pre-School for a lovely week!
