This week we have been looking at the story’ Hair Love’ by Matthew A. Cherry, which is a fantastic book to celebrate father and daughter relationships. You can watch the Oscar winning short film of the book here:

We have also set up a hairdressing salon, to celebrate our own beautiful hair, children really enjoyed making appointments, combing, brushing, practicing their fine motor skills to put clips and bobbles in.
We have continued to explore the new season through conker paint rolling and a vegetable harvest display. Next week we would love to continue exploring autumn so any vegetable contributions would be appreciated – in their play, the children have loved touching, smelling and selling/buying a variety this week!
The dark tent has remained a popular favourite in the classroom, with lots of further explorations of light, which we have been developing to discovery of reflection.
As part of celebrating Black History Month, we have been using djembe drums to do lots of drumming, practicing our listening, responding and keeping a steady beat.
In our small group time, we had a visit from George Bear, who helped us embed our carpet time rules. We always try our best to do good sitting, listening, looking at the person who is talking and not interrupting others when they talk. We play a lot of turn taking games, encouraging children to wriggle their fingers if they would like to have a go.
Thak you again for the yummy fruit and snacks you bring in to share!
As the weather is getting rainy and windy, please remember to bring in a named pair of wellie boots and waterproof clothes for your child. We have access to the outdoors for most of the day and children love exploring puddles at the moment.
Have a great weekend,
Nursery Team
