February Fun!

As February arrived so did lots of toys from Outer Space! Our new topic was so much fun and we blasted off each day into space in our rocket and learned about astronauts and the planets.  We enjoyed dressing up in our role play costumes and exploring all of the different play areas. We loved learning all of the different planet names and we even had planets hanging up in our Quiet Room.

During Story Time we had lots of fiction and non-fiction books to look at our. One of our favourite stories was called The Alien Tea on the Planet Zum Zee!

We made purple playdough and had stars and rocket cutters to make lots of interesting things for the moon! At the art table we were so busy making rockets, jet packs and flying saucers using junk materials. There was tin foil, sellotape and shiny paper everywhere!

There were lots of activities on our Interactive Whiteboard and we had to match the aliens or get the astronaut ready to blast off in the rocket. We watched footage of real astronauts exploring the moon and we tried to walk like them in our moon boots in the role play area. We counted back each day from 10 and blasted off into Space. Outside we had a large wooden rocket and we worked together to push along on the rocket and explore.

We can't forget about celebrations during February especially Valentine's Day. There were hearts all around the nursery! We talked about people that we love and made lots of things at the art table and writing table for our loved ones. There was even a heart hug cushion and we could give our friends a heart hug each day.

Our Yoga Bops classes continued with Laura. We are really enjoying all of the different poses and actions.
