Party Bubbles at Hucknall

Birthday fun within our nursery bubbles.

As COVID is causing restrictions on children being able to have birthday parties with friends and family members outside of their bubbles, we have decided to hold birthday parties at nursery for children within their COVID bubbles.

Parents have brought their own decorations to nursery for us to use and we take part in party games and dancing so that the children are able to still have and enjoy that bit of ‘normality’ and celebrate their birthday!  

  

Colouring Rainbows at Hucknall

Learning about rainbows leads to a fun creative activity!

We have been learning about the weather this week. We have discussed how when the sun comes out when it is raining it can cause a rainbow to form.

From this discussion we then enjoyed painting our own rainbows using a variety of different colours. During this activity we were able to also explore colour and how colours can be changed when mixing them together.

This activity covered many areas of learning including physical development as children held the paint brushes in their dominant hand and controlled the brush strokes as they used each colour. It also covered maths as we discussed how many colours we used and which colour we used more or less of.  Expressive arts and design was also covered in this activity as we explored colour and how colour can be changed.

Well done everyone!

Bringing Nature Into Outdoor Areas at Hartshill

We can't wait for the wildlife to return to our gardens.

This month at Hartshill we have been getting ready for the wildlife coming back into our gardens.

The children in Wise Owls have decorated their own bird house and these have been placed all around our outdoor areas.

We have bug hotels and bird feeders too! I wonder what type of wildlife we will see?

Well done everyone! 

 

Notts TV Appearance for Children at Hucknall

The children's regular visits to The Beaumont Care Home is featured on Notts TV

Every week we take a group of our preschool children to The Beaumont Care Home next door to our nursery to sing for the residents. We used to visit prior to the COVID pandemic and go inside the home and take part in storytelling and arts and crafts with the residents.

As we are unable to go inside the care home currently, we have been taking our children to sing through the window to the residents to still keep the connection between us and to share some positivity and love during these uncertain times. This week during our visit we were accompanied by Notts TV who came to film our children taking part in this lovely experience and speak to them and the residents about why this is so special to us all.
