Finger Painting Fun ! 🎨
This morning, our Cygnets enjoyed exploring paint using their fingers to create their own marks on paper!
The children dipped their fingers into the paint and experimented with dabbing them onto the paper, noticing the different marks they could make. Some children chose to dab the paint, while others enjoyed using their fingers to spread the paint across the paper, exploring the textures and patterns they could create.
This activity encouraged the children to develop their creativity and explore their senses, while also strengthening the small muscles in their fingers and hands.
Exploring Our Bodies in Cygnets! 🦢
As part of our ‘All About Me’ topic, our Cygnets took part in a fun body outline activity!
Working in a small group, an adult drew around one of the children to create a body template. The children then had the opportunity to get creative and decorate the outline using a variety of colours.
Throughout the activity, we talked about different parts of the body, naming features such as our head, eyes, ears and nose. The children were also encouraged to name the colours they were using, helping to develop their communication and language skills.
This activity provided a wonderful opportunity for the children to explore body awareness, learn new vocabulary and express their creativity.
All About Me in Cygnets! 🦢
This week, our Cygnets have begun exploring our new topic for this term, ‘All About Me’!
The children enjoyed looking at themselves in the mirrors and talking about what makes us all unique. We discussed our facial features, noticing that we have two eyes, a nose, a mouth and hair. The children then used paper plates to create their very own self-portraits, having a go at recreating their own features. It was lovely to see their creativity and developing awareness of themselves!
We have also been making the most of our outdoor garden. The children enjoyed exploring the mud kitchen, using the stepping stones to practise their balance, and working together to move the seesaws back and forth using their whole bodies.
Through these activities, the children have been developing their physical skills, coordination and confidence, while having lots of fun exploring their environment.
Cygnets Are Settling In! 🦢
Our Cygnets have been doing wonderfully as they settle into nursery life! It has been lovely to see the children becoming more familiar with their new surroundings, getting to know their grown-ups and beginning to build friendships with their peers.
The children have been exploring their environment, discovering new toys and resources, and enjoying a variety of exciting activities both indoors and outdoors. They are gradually becoming more confident as they learn our daily routines and develop their independence.
We are so proud of how well our little Cygnets are settling in. It is wonderful to see their confidence growing, friendships blossoming and their little personalities shining through each day.
