Nursery Are Forever Blowing Bubbles
Date: 12th Sep 2024 @ 4:36pm
Bubbles are never far away in nursery! They have so many benefits for the children and they absolutely love them! The chidlren have to learn to wait their turn and also learn self-control so they don't pop the bubbles when it's not their turn! The act of blowing bubbles is a super way for the chilldren to explore the different shapes they can make with their mouths ready for making different letter sounds. Popping the bubbles encourages them to move their bodies in different ways.

Acorns have been celebrating Health & Well-Being week this week through a variety of activities. Firstly, our very successful interactive sports session which we all loved. Our sensory story was Supertato. We loved listening to the story and exploring the Superveggies!! We had a selection of vegetables to touch, smell and taste before matching them to the correct cards. We also made fruit kebabs and loved tasting a variety of fruit and strengthening our fine motor skills, threading the fruit onto skewers. We counted potatoes and vegetables during maths and even made our own Supertato art work. We finished the week off wearing bright and sporty outfits and developing some turn taking skills during our activities.

As part of the whole school Health Week, Nursery read the story "Handa's Surprise" and talked about all the deliccious healthy fruit Handa has in her basket. We then tasted pineapple, mango, avocado and pomegranate (Mrs Welch couldn't find a passion fruit in Aldi!). The children loved describing the fruit and said "It's so sweet". "It's juicy" "It's slimey" and "Yuk! I don't like that" when they tasted avocado!
