This week at the nursery, we’ve been singing and learning through the beloved rhyme Old McDonald Had a Farm. Using the song as inspiration, we explored farms, discovering the fascinating sounds of animals and discussing the various amazing jobs that happen on a farm. It was lovely to hear the children share which farm jobs they’d love to do and their personal experiences of helping out on farms. Their enthusiasm and creativity brought our farm-themed activities to life!
We’ve also been working hard at our counting skills this week, focusing on counting the animals we might see on a farm. It has been a delight to see how much progress the children have made with their counting abilities and how their confidence in maths is growing. From chickens to cows, the children have eagerly counted their way through farm life.
Finally, we’ve had a magical time enjoying the great outdoors. The snow provided endless fun as we built snowmen, made snow angels, and embraced the winter wonderland. In our forest school area, the children worked together to create a leaf maze and ended the adventure with warm cups of delicious hot chocolate. It’s been a week full of laughter, learning, and unforgettable winter memories.
Wishing you all a cozy weekend!
