Goslings Room News

This month the Goslings have shown a particular interest in Dinosaurs! This began at breakfast one morning when a child wanted to share her yummy breakfast smoothie with a toy dinosaur. To follow this interest, we set up a large tray with dinosaurs, cups and water so that the children could pretend to give the dinosaurs some breakfast too, then all went to the garden to find some tasty leaves for the dinosaurs to snack on! The next day we added the dinosaurs to some green play dough and the children used the dinosaur’s feet to make prints in the dough! Another interest has been the farm animals! One child had been to the farm, so we extended this into our messy play and set up a farm with cornflakes, oats and shredded paper. The children enjoyed practicing the different animal sounds while singing 'Old MacDonald' and pretending to feed the little animals. Many of the Goslings have currently been interested in playing ‘shops’, telling us “I’m shopping!”. To follow this interest, we took some of the Goslings children to our local shop where we went to find some baguette and French cheeses, as our Country of the Month is France! The children worked together to pull the shopping baskets around the shop. Once they had found the items needed, they put them in the baskets and took them to the till, taking turns giving the man behind the till to pay for the items. We then took the baguette and cheeses back to nursery for the children to try for a snack!
