22 Street Lane Nursery - October 2024 Newsletter

October Newsletter

We started off the month welcoming all our new goslings children and we have spent lots of time getting to know their little personalities and watching them flourish. We have focused a lot of our activities on the 5 senses so we can really see what the children’s likes and dislikes are. As we welcome the Autumn season, the children spent lots of time playing with all the new resources it’s given us and we have thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine, listening to the rain and watching the leaves fall. We particularly enjoyed throwing and catching all the leaves, collecting them and kicking them around in the garden space. We also celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival this month by decorating our own lanterns which we displayed throughout our room whilst dancing to some traditional music. This month we have also enjoyed baking in practice for the Macmillan bake sale. We took the opportunity to discuss with the children about healthy food for our bodies and we made banana and raisin oat bars which the children had to use their fine motor skills to pour, measure, scoop and mix all the ingredients together. Over the last few weeks we have enjoyed lots of walks out into the community, we used our sense of smell and touch to explore local flower gardens and our sense of sight and sound to watch the birds and listen to the noises they make. We are so excited to step into October, celebrating Black History Month and Rosh Hashanah this October through materials, languages, music and cuisine. Goslings Room News
