World book week at Molesey
/
The pre school children dressed as lots of different characters from their favourite books for world book day as you can see! There were ‘Frozen’ characters, Gruffalo’s, witches and dinosaurs to name a few. Some of the children brought in some story books which were shared with the children at story time. They also recapped on our book of the month, ‘Supertato!’ Ella said “I remember, the author of Supertato is Sue and Paul’. Impressively she was correct! The children also made their own story books which they then shared with each other. Max told Millie, “My story is all about a hairy scary dinosaur”.
They have taken a very keen interest in building with various construction toys such as the wooden blocks, small Lego and the duplo blocks. They have been making different types of transport vehicles such as aeroplanes with the large wooden blocks, roads with the smaller wooden blocks and boats with the Lego. Oscar told Mateo, “I need to find a sailor for my boat” whilst Tomas was pretending to be a pilot and flying the big aeroplane in the garden. But before Tomas would fly the aeroplane, he told the children, “First you need to put your seatbelt on”. The children also enjoyed setting up a small obstacle course with the blocks, counting each other down to jump over the blocks. Eddie encourages Salvador on, “Go, go, go Salvador, you can do it”.
The children have also enjoyed parachute games, Scarlett suggested, “We need some balls for the chute” and went and found some from the ball box. She threw them all in the children very excitedly shook the parachute really fast, laughing when the balls were flying up in the air. One of the balls landed on Sienna’s head which she found really funny!
This week the toddlers have enjoyed participating in world book day where they have dressed up and brought in their favourite books. We had a firefighter, a wide variety of the cat family, some Gruffalos, multiple superheroes saving the day, and even our very own Zogg and Mr Bump! Throughout the day the toddlers enjoyed reading their favourite stories such as ‘The tickle book’ and ‘The tiger came to tea’ and making bookmarks to take home.
Back Inside the toddlers have been able to take part in many messy, painting activities, which they have thoroughly loved. One of these activities included body painting, where the toddlers could go wild and use whatever they wanted to explore the paint. Once the paper was fully set up on the floor, the toddlers counted down "three, two, one, GO!" and could hardly contain their excitement as they ran, crawled and jumped towards the paint. Isla shouted, "Paint, paint, wet" as she began using her hands to explore. Fabian found a paintbrush and paint pot and he would walk up to his friends and nod, as if to get permission, to paint on them. Fabian and his friends found this very amusing and slowly they joined in covering themselves and others in paint. Great fun!
The toddlers have enjoyed adventuring out exploring for sticks and stones! Amelia and Tristan found a stick that was so big, that they needed each other to help carry it! Amelia said “Wow!” They found it fascinating and all decided to help as well. Ethan ran to the duck bridge and shouted “Ducks! quack, quack!” and ran back to his friends, and encouraged them to run with him to the bridge to have a look. The toddlers then found the stones. They enjoyed looking at them close up and seeing there different shapes and sizes. Zachary picked one up and showed it to Ari. He said “Look, it’s a big stone”. Connie collected multiple stones and put them in her pocket hoping to show her family when she got home. The toddlers loved running along the field all the way back to nursery.
The under two’s have enjoyed spending time outside. In the garden, Samuel and Sadie were busy building towers together with wooden blocks, balancing them on top of each other and taking turns, being careful to not knock them over. The team were counting the numbers out loud of blocks as they piled up and Samuel repeated them. As they toppled over Sadie said “Uh oh” and raised her hands in the air. On a walk to the duck pond, Alastair and Finley were excellent at throwing the ducks some bread, saying “Quack quack” and “Bye, bye” when it was time to leave.
Inside Blake and Alastair were stacking up the coloured rings, passing them to each other and playing alongside each other. The children also had lots of fun playing with the coloured strips of paper. Samuel said “Shiny” when he saw the red tinsel and while some children picked up little pieces at a time, Charlotte and Chloe gathered up lots in their arms, watching it fall over the floor as they dropped it which they found funny
Charlotte and Rafferty liked taking their books over to the table to read. They pointed at the pictures and swapped them over, and talking about the animals and vehicles they could see.
