Cygnets Room News

We’ve had a busy and engaging July in Cygnets, filled with plenty of outdoor play, creative activities and opportunities to learn. Our key focuses this month have been Beach Week, Greece as our Country of the Month, and taking part in Sponsored Walk Week. We also explored Greece as our Country of the Month. The Cygnets loved making leaf crowns, painting Greek patterns, and tracing Greek letters in the sand. They even crafted their own clay pots and mixed up a very messy (but fun!) Greek salad in the tuff tray. As part of Sponsored Walk Week, the children proudly took part in two local walks, exploring the streets near the nursery and spotting local landmarks, including charity shops and gardens. They showed so much enthusiasm and teamwork, helping to add to our group’s walking total and raising money for a good cause along the way. Throughout the month, the Cygnets have also done a brilliant job learning Makaton. We’ve been signing along to songs, learning simple greetings, and even using signs for different foods. The children have really impressed us with how quickly they’ve picked it up! We’ve also been focusing on key skills to support the children as they prepare for their transition to Swans. This has included self-serving food at mealtimes, practising pencil control, and learning new circle time songs with growing confidence and independence.
