Lego therapy in nurture group

The nurture group got busy making Lego models this morning. We all showed our work at the end of the session and talked about them. Well done guys.

Food of the week.

Today the children in nurture group tried bagels. This was a big hit with Bailey. We talked about what they looked like, smelt like, tasted like and played a game finding other things around the room using the same describing word.

Nurture group tried their hand at baking today making cupcakes ready to decorate for Halloween. They measured out butter and water and did some great whisking. Well done guys!!!!

Language of the term competition winners!

Congratulations to Leo and Arhaan who won our language of the term competition. 


Leo had put together a slide show full of facts on Lithuania which was shared in assembly this morning. Arhaan had produced a booklet of Lithuanian facts and information.



Both boys were presented with a basket full of Lithuanian goodies!

Have a Go Monday!!

 

For "Have a go Monday", the children tried bagels for breakfast. They were a great success and after having a try all of the children asked for more.



Charanjit enjoyed his bagel with butter and Abbie preferred it with cheese.

 

 

 

 

 

PANTS!

In assembly today Mrs Hoffman talked to the Key Stage 2 children about PANTS!

No she wasn't going mad...she had an important message to discuss.

 

 


The NSPCC Underwear Rule is a simple way to keep children safe from abuse. It teaches children that their body belongs to them, that they have the right to say no, and that they should tell an adult if they are upset or worried. To help children remember the Underwear rule, we talk about PANTS. Each letter of PANTS covers a different part of the Underwear rule and provides a simple but valuable lesson that can keep a child safe:

P Privates are private

A Always remember your body belongs to you

N No means no

T Talk about secrets that upset you

S Speak up, someone can help

Games Fun!!

The group played a game of  Who Wants to be a Millionaire  on the playstation this week.                                 They used their reciprocity  skills to work out  the answers as a group. 

Baking Mad!

 The Morning nurture group made bread rolls this morning. They used their fine and gross motor skills to knead the bread. We left the rolls in a warm place to prove and hopefully onced baked they will be delicious to eat tomorrow.

SLC Coffee Morning

Taking Turns

This morning nurture group enjoyed a game together. We collected items for our lunch box board. We waited and took turns.

Have a Go Monday!

Every Monday at morning nurture club it is taster day.  The children wanted to taste pineapple today and we compared tinned pineapple to fresh pineapple.  Everyone in the group got involved.  

The fresh pineapple was a little sour for some of the children.

      Everyone liked the pineapple juice and would like to try it again for breakfast.

Taylor enjoyed the tinned pineapple best of all!

 Abbie and Joshua both had empty plates, and would like pineapple again for breakfast with some yogurt.
