22 Street Lane Nursery - February 2019 Newsletter

February Newsletter

Swans The Swans have been very busy throughout January and have enjoyed participating in various activities, linked to our themes of Winter and dinosaurs. We started the month by learning all about Iceland; the children enjoyed making some Northern Lights pictures after learning about how they occur and what exactly they look like. We used many different materials to create the right effect and the children couldn’t wait to take them home! We also enjoyed learning all about animals that live in Iceland among other cold climates: discussing what they are called, what they look like, and what they like to eat. The children looked at this further by exploring our Arctic Tuff Tray and looked at a selection of Winter stories, both fiction and non- fiction. The following week, we also made our very own volcanoes which the children really enjoyed! We learnt all about volcanoes, and even watched some videos of them erupting to help us understand what happens during an eruption and why. Baking has been another exciting part of the month for the Swans and we really liked making Icelandic bread for the children to take home, but also for all our parents to try (we hope you all enjoyed it!) The children to great interest in looking at the ingredients we needed to make the bread and measured everything independently using digital weighing scales.
