We have had lots of fun today exploring the outdoor area in the beautiful sunshine. We practised riding on the bikes, using our legs to push ourselves. We enjoyed climbing on the climbing frame and sliding down the slide. We had fun popping bubbles too!
UTW- Celebration of Eid
Celebration of Eid The children today learnt about Eid. How it is celebrated and what happens before and on this special day. We had children from Year 6 that came down to nursery to talk about Ramadan and how they fasted for 30 days and did not eat in the day time. After this time the children talked about Eid and how they celebrated with family and friends, they went to the Mosque and received gifts. We then sat together to enjoy some food.

Reception - Comparing Cars Move Down Ramps
Today Reception class have been comparing how different cars and othher objects move down the ramps. The children observed that the cars went faster when the ramp was at more of an incline. The children then extended this activity by building ramps using different objects and they used boxes and blocks to create different structures to roll their cars down.

We have been busy exploring the different types of transport that we have. We have enjoyed playing in the tuff tray with the trucks, filling and emptying them with the different cereals. We had fun using the ramps to see how far the cars could go. We had fun colouring in the different pictures of transport too using paints and felt tips.

In Understanding the world this week we have looked at old and new transport. We looked at different pictures of new transport and we recognised a lot of them but then we looked at old transport pictures and how they used to be. The children picked out features and questioned why it was like that. We then played a matching game with the objects and pictures.
