Monday –Amelia – Posting experience.
What I hope they will learn – Goals for children
This is a follow on for one child in particular with an interest in puzzles but I will make up several boxes for other children to join in. I am going to get a range of boxes and cut slots into them. We will then find a range of different objects to practice out posting threw the slots.

I implemented our peas experience today instead because Jacks family brought in the book for us to share with our friends. It was quite long and the children came and went. JA stayed the whole time possibly because it was something familiar with home. Our peas had grown a couple of cm but have defiantly slowed down a lot. Next week I am going to find a Jack and the bean stalk story.
Tuesday –Amelia – Revisiting our peas and a remeasure.
What I hope they will learn – Goals for children
I will ask the parent that offered to lend us the book by Eric Carle if we can borrow it for todays lesson. I will get the measuring tape out again to see how much they have grown from this time last week and the children will help me to give them a big drink.

Sam to reflect. Amelia had an awesome posting activity for the children, and as soon as I got it down all the children rushed over to see what it was. They were great at taking turns, and would come and go from this activity for the rest of the day.
Wednesday –Sam – Music and movement.
What I hope they will learn – Goals for children
Music and movement is still a big interest in the nursery. TO who is new in the nursery really like to groove away, as well as some of the other children AC and JF. Music and movement provides the children the opportunity to be creative and expressive, while also developing their gross motor skills.

Thursday –Sam – Art experience – Water colour painting.
What I hope they will learn – Goals for children
A lot of the children have an interest around messy/tactile play, water colour painting provides them with another way to be creative and expressive.

The children really enjoyed using the water colours to paint their daffodil pictures. CW and EM where very involved with this activity and stayed at this activity the whole time even as other children moved on.
Friday –Amelia – Baking – Corn fritters.
What I hope they will learn – Goals for children
As Sam and I alternate weeks for a baking experience it is my week this week and I have chosen to make corn fritters. Its something we haven’t made as a class before and a healthy option that I think the children will enjoy.

Due to some changes in the roster I ended up spending the day in the preschool and will move this experience to one day next week.
