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 made purple playdough and had stars and rocket cutters to make lots of interesting things for the moon! We even made some aliens.
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! We also made a night sky using lots of black paper and paints.
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 also had great fun throwing a foam rocket as far as we could. We had astronauts in parachutes outside and we practised throwing and catching these.
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 Jo Jingles classes ended with Stephanie and Jo. We all got a certificate and a hug from Jo at the end of our final class.
On Pancake Tuesday we enjoyed lots of yummy pancakes for our snack. We tried to toss the pancake and it was quite tricky. We listened to the story all about the pancake who ran away!
During our Space topic we learned lots of new songs and rhymes. We can remember some of the names of the planets and we are super at counting back from 10 to BLAST OFF!!
