ENTERTAINMENT EMPORIUM

Mrs Smart and some of the children have been very busy creating an entertainment Station in our garden. The children used a variety of tools including a drill to create a stage in the Entertainment Emporium. Ribbon was used to create a bright and colourful backdrop ready for the children to perform. The children sourced different items from around our nursery including pots, pans and wooden spoon to make their own exciting instruments exploring a variety of sounds. The children have been making their own music as well as singing and dancing as part of the performances.

AUTUMN 2020

The children have been learning about Autumn and the changes to our environment during the change in season. They have been busy making their very own Autumn tree using a variety of paint and crafts. Most children have enjoyed collecting leaves out walking in the local community and from the nursery and school grounds. The children have been learning about the different varieties of leaves which have fallen from the trees and comparing them by colour and size. The children have used a variety of mathematical skills whilst counting the leaves and matching them to numbers on the ground. There was a lot of excitement when a spider was found out in the garden. The children enjoyed using magnifying glasses to look at the spider up close and decided to look for more outside on a bug hunt. Some of the children have been enjoying discussing the weather daily and have been recording their findings and displaying it on the wall, creating a talking point amongst many of the children.

MAKING NEW FRIENDS

The children at Houston EL&CC have settled back into the nursery life and routine. We have welcomed our returning children after a very long break as well as many new children who have turned 3. As we move forward with the expansion of 1140 hours and look to move to our new building our staff team has continued to grow, we have welcomed many new members of staff to our wonderful nursery. All of the children have been spending time getting to know new friends and staff, building strong relationships throughout the EL&CC.
