Blue Group

This week in blue group the children have been getting very excited for Christmas as we introduced the Christmas show the wiggly nativity and started our rehearsals. The children have been trying out different roles and practising the new songs along with the actions. Also this week the children have had disco to Christmas classics. After the children showed off all their moves we explored the outside area during work time and discovered Jack Frost had been over night and froze our water trays. Blue group spent most of work time picking up different pieces of ice , they all had different shapes and sizes.

This week and last the blue group have been very busy. We have been singing our little hearts out on karaoke to our favourite songs, looking at familiar writing within logos and making soup for our harvest festival. The children were very excited to help to make the soup. We chopped up lots of vegetables which were donated to nursery by our lovely grownups.

This week the blue group had their first forest school of the term, we talked about the season and what we could see changing then we explored colour mixing with the powder paints and looked for birds in the bird hide with binoculars.
We also did some leaf painting with autumn colours.
The blue group have been interested in tiny tweeties and have been moving to the music and following the instructions on the CD.
George the hamster game to visit us last Friday. We talked about where he lived, his size and what he might like to eat. The children suggested we give him some fruit as a treat next time.

This week the Blue Group have been very busy in Forest School as they took on the role of  nature detectives!   They used bug pots and magnify glasses as they worked together to find worms, slugs, snails, woodlice, black beetles, spiders and a ladybird as well as an array of birds.  We looked closely at the creatures, in much detail, before identifying them on our mini-beast charts.
