In Nursery, we love giving our children opportunities to make their own choices and develop their independence. This week, we continued our exploration of sandwiches, giving the children the opportunity to choose their own bread and fillings before making their very own sandwiches!

The children were encouraged to make as much of their sandwich themselves as possible, with a little adult support when needed. It was wonderful to see them carefully choosing what they wanted, spreading and adding their fillings, and taking pride in doing things for themselves.

We talked about the different choices available and encouraged the children to verbalise what they had chosen. There were lots of conversations about favourite fillings, different breads and what made each sandwich their own!

Once their sandwiches were ready, the children enjoyed eating them together on a picnic blanket. It was a lovely opportunity to sit together, chat with their friends and enjoy the sandwiches they had made themselves.

These everyday experiences are fantastic for developing:

🌟 Independence and confidence\
🗣️ Communication and language\
🤔 Decision-making and expressing preferences\
✋ Fine motor skills and coordination\
🍽️ Practical life skills\
🥪 Understanding and following simple steps\
❤️ Social skills and enjoying experiences together

The children absolutely loved being in charge of making their own sandwiches and were so proud to sit together and enjoy what they had created. It was wonderful to see them making choices, having a go independently and supporting one another along the way.
We’re so proud of how independent our little sandwich makers are becoming! 🥪✨

🍂 Exploring Autumn in Nursery! 🍁

As the season begins to change, we’ve been busy exploring the wonderful signs of autumn all around us.
The children have been investigating a variety of natural materials, noticing the different colours, textures, shapes and sizes that autumn brings. We’ve also been getting creative by painting and colouring with autumnal colours, inspired by the beautiful reds, oranges, yellows and browns we can see around us.
We’ve enjoyed looking at pictures of autumn and our changing environment, talking about what we can see and beginning to notice how the world around us changes as the seasons pass.

🍁 Homework this week:
We would love the children to collect some autumnal natural items to bring into nursery, such as leaves, conkers, twigs, acorns or pinecones. These will help us to continue our exploration and create our own autumn collection in the classroom.

Please ensure that children only collect safe items and that there are no berries or nuts.
We can’t wait to see what wonderful autumn treasures the children discover! 🍂🍁🍃 ... See MoreSee Less

Year 4 have been working on writing an adventure story in English. This week, they focused on emotions and showing the reader how a character feels rather than telling the reader. They acted out emotions and then worked together to write sentences to describe their actions. #dcpscore #dcpsenglish #dcpselephant ... See MoreSee Less
