🍏🍐The Very Hungry Caterpillar🍓🍊
The Investigators children really enjoy reading the book about 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' so after spending lots of time reading the book, joining in with the story sack and then exploring the foods in the home corner, what better way to extend this activity then go to the local super market @Sainsbury's to buy the fruits ourselves.
With the weather a little on the grey area and some light showers, coats on, hoods up we had a lovely walk into Bromley to buy the fruit.
Following the correct road safety, enjoying the environment, seeing a Fire Engine from the fire station with sirens and lights on, we discussed the emergencies it might be going to, watching a man clean some windows and even an engineer working on some pipes.
As we entered Sainsbury's we picked up a basket, took the book we bought with us out of the bag and reminded ourselves what fruits the caterpillar liked to enjoy.
Off we went to look for them, We wanted to buy the whole shelf of food but we only bought a couple of each, which we paid for and took all the way back to nursery for our afternoon snack! Yummy!
We love going on adventures and look forward to our next one!

🌈Children’s Mental Health Week🌈
This week we have been exploring emotions to help support our children in learning to know how they feel. Throughout all the rooms across the nursery we have been talking about our emotions, discussing how we feel, letting each other know that it is ok to talk about how we feel and expressing this through talking, drawing, and even signing.
The Explorers this week have read lots of emotion stories and spent the time to learn how to sign our emotions. This helps a child when experiencing a big emotion to have another form of communication to let us know how they feel as children do not always want to use their words. We also used paper plates to create our own faces to create an emotions board that the children can use to point to and recognise their emotions.
In the Discoverers the children had the emotions books out, puppets, and then with a lovely sensory tray of fruits and vegetables the children helped to be creative and make the faces of how they were feeling replicating what was shown in the pictures.
The Investigators have enjoyed drawing their emotions throughout the week, talking about how they are feeling, why they are feeling this way and how we can all help each other, they then expressed this through drawing their emotions and using the puppets to express this.
The Inventors got very creative with drawing their feelings and emotions, talking about being kind to others and how this makes them feel. The Inventors drew their emotions, talked about their likes and dislikes and also expressed about their uniqueness to one another. There have been lots of conversations about how we should always talk to one another and we are all here at nursery to help.

🤩Congratulations🤩
We are very proud to announce that Ellie has officially completed and gained her Level 3 Qualification in Childcare. 🥳🥳
Ellie officially received her certificate last week after 18 months of studying, completing assignments, units, observations, professional discussions and dedication to her role within the nursery, all while also preparing to become a mummy! As Ellie is currently on maternity leave and spending precious time with her bundle of joy, we had to improvise with her photo (Sorry Ellie).
We are incredibly proud of Ellie and all the amazing things she was doing in the Explorers room before going on maternity leave and we look forward to seeing what else she can bring to the nursery and continue sharing her passion and enthusiasm when she returns 😊
Well done Ellie! We knew you could do it and we are so incredibly thankful to have you in our Nursery 😍 now enjoy your maternity leave and we will see you soon!!
Congratulations Ellie! 🌟

🏴Burn's Night🏴
On Friday we celebrated Burns night with the children around the nursery.
With some of our families from all the way up in Scotland we wanted to celebrate their culture.
The nursery is very lucky to have some of our parents come in to support the children in learning more about Scotland and talk about Burn's night.
The children danced to Scottish Music, looked at some of the outfits that Scottish people wear, joined in with a 'What's in the Box' activity sharing these experiences.
Pictures of Robert Burns were passed around and the children even got to have a look at Haggis, the traditional Scottish dish.
Throughout the day the children joined in with many blue and white Scottish flag painting and even trying to make their own tartan patterns.
We love learning about different cultures and are so lucky to have our parents who love coming into the nursery to share these experiences with the children.
Thank you ☺️

🧩Invitation to play🧩
During our January Staff meeting we spoke about Invitation to play, which is the way the team set up and present materials and resources to the children to encourage and invite them to play, It can offer children the opportunity to lead their own play, follow their interests, learn more about the world around them, express themselves creatively and use their imagination.
With this in mind we set the team a challenge, they broke off into their rooms and set up an activity for their children, thinking about the materials and resources they use and how this links to their children's current interests, of course they also needed to explain their intent.
Please can we ask you to vote for your favourite in the comments, each picture is numbered.
