Look out for the Wellbeing Wednesday activities. These are simple fun activities to do at home with your child.

Everyday the children take part in a brain break and chime time. 

This is one of our favourite ones to do.

Here at Little Mixers Nursery, we follow The Curiosity Approach to learning and embrace the ideology behind it. Below is a PDF with more information. 

Term 1

This week we had our Nursery birthday party. The children made party hats, ate party food and played party games. We had a wonderful time. Thank you to all the parents who sent in photos of your children celebrating their birthday, we enjoyed looking at them all. 
Our core book this week was ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Can You See?’ We went on a colour hunt and found objects that matched the colours in the story. The children are beginning to name more than just the primary colours. 

The children have been extending their learning of birthdays by delivering invitations to our Nursery birthday party next week. The children have been using dolls to act out their own parties. Last week our core story was ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ and this week the children have been using the story sack to retell the story using voices for the characters. 
We have been mark making on the floor this week, supporting the children to develop core strength and large motor skills. 

The children have been enjoying singing with scarves. They are following instructions and developing gross motor skills and hand eye coordination. We moved our scarves to the songs ‘10 fat sausages’ and ‘All the fish are swimming’. 

We have an apple core in our Curiosity Cube. We are curious to watch it change and decay over time. 

Welcome back to Nursery. The children have settled well and are already demonstrating that they are curious learners. We have been exploring 'All about me' and the children have been sharing who lives in their house and who is in their family. Using loose parts the children have created beautiful self portraits after looking at their features in the mirror. 

Take a look at the slideshow below showcasing our first week back after the Summer break. 

This week the children began learning about birthday's, the children have been sharing their own experiences of family birthdays. We are looking forward to our families sharing some photographs on their child's Tapestry account. We have been making birthday cakes using play dough and loose parts and our role play area has been decorated for a party. 

We have been reading the story 'Happy Birthday Dotty'

The children have enjoyed getting messy with paint and exploring shaving foam.
