Rockets

The children have had a strong interest in Rockets in the Buzzy Bee room. They have been doing lots of making rockets in the block area and in the ‘junk modelling’. We’ve looked at books and stories on going into space and about the different planets. We have also done lots of rocket experiments, using baking powder and water, which the children found highly exciting.

Buzzy Bee Show

Recently the children in the Buzzy Bees have put on ‘shows’ for the rest of the children and adults in the class. The children use the blocks to build a stage and then gather together the chairs for create the seating for the audience. The children have recently begun to make tickets to sell to the audience members. The children then work as a group or individually to show their singing or moves to their audience. Some sing as a group, or do solos.

Chinese New Year

The children have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We have had a week of different experiences for the children. We have tasted a variety of Chinese food for snack. The children have been able to dress up in some traditional Chinese clothing. We also created a Chinese Dragon which we used to do a Chinese Dragon Dance in the Garden, whilst singing a special Dragon song.

25th May 2010 - World Muzik Makers

On Tuesday we had World Music Makers come and spend the whole day with the children in the nursery. Parents, children and staff all enjoyed listening to the powerful sound of the drums. The children enjoyed dancing and using the African drums, listening and copying the pattern of the beat and exploring the movement & dance of the African animals.

We had opportunities to look at and try on African dancing skirts, head dresses and many more exciting African artefacts.

Adults and children also were able to dress in traditional African clothes throughout the day.
