New Seasons & Making Cars!

The pre-school children have been learning all about the changes of seasons and have started to welcome spring. They enjoyed taking part in an observational drawing of daffodils. The children first observed the flower buds when they first came to nursery and over the following days, they watched as the daffodils blossomed. Connie came in to nursery the next morning and said, “Wow, they look so beautiful today, they are fully grown!”. Whilst doing the observational drawings, Vivienne told Louis, “This long bit here I know is called the stem, and that bit is the flower”. Louis replied, “It’s just like a red rose”. Realising that the daffodils were placed in a cup of water, Shyla told her friends, “The water is for the flowers to drink so that they can grow bigger and bigger”. Riley said, “Thats right Shyla, well done, there is no rain inside nursery so the water will help them grow”.

The children have also enjoyed making their very own 3D vehicles using the junk modelling boxes. Joshua added an extra part on to the top of the car and said to his friends, “This bit is for the roof rack so we can put all of our clothes in there and go on holiday”. Ezmie laughed and said, “But our clothes go in a suitcase, silly billy!”. Once the children had glued together their boxes and painted them in bright colours, William suggested, “Now we need our wheels otherwise the car won’t be able to drive”. They all worked together to figure out what they could use the make the wheels and very quickly discovered that the paper plates were the perfect option.
