Flying Start Get Festive!

Flying Start, Camborne have made decorations at nursery and with the residents at St Martins Residential Home. To put on our tree which has been displayed at Camborne Church at the Annual Christmas Tree Festival.

All of our nurseries have enjoyed wonderful food and party time together!

Flying Start, Helston been very lucky as some very kind parents have come in and read a story. The nursery gathered in the preschool room and sat beautifully whilst listening to a story about green eggs and ham, and another about stinky sprouts.

This week the children have been extremely excited to see Santa. They showed him their performance for Christmas singing Christmas carols and signing the Christmas story. Then they sat patiently and waited to receive their present. They were very excited to open the present.

We have also explored dough and using it to make some Christmas decorations, worn festive jumpers together and made a wonderful ‘box tree’ to support our plastic free campaign.

We’ve had such wonderful times together this month, thank you all for sharing and participating this festive season!

Flying Start Nurseries Rhyme This Week!!

We’ve been singing lots of nursery rhymes that have lots of actions. We are able to pick out of our nursery rhyme bags. We also created a twinkle twinkle little star sensory tray which the children have loved exploring.

We made ‘Incy Wincy Spider’, a nice web to dangle from whilst singing.

We also filled a tubes with different sensory such as rice, spaghetti and lentils, and then decorated their instruments with paint. Then they joined in with nursery rhymes, experimenting with their instruments to see what different sounds they could make. The toddlers have also created a song bag for Baa Baa Black Sheep, and have enjoyed using it and singing along.

We have also been singing and acting out the song Miss Polly had a dolly, we used the phone to call for a Doctor

They also had a great time singing autumnal songs such as Autumn leaves are falling down and Throw your leaves in the air.

Flying Start @ Camborne Have Themed Days!

This half term holiday we have been having lots of fun on our themed days throughout the week.

We have had a cooking day where we all made our own pizza using dough that we made in Ashley’s bread maker. We topped the pizzas with all of our favourite toppings and then baked them in the oven to take home.

One day we became young scientists for the day and did lots of experiments. We used skittles and water to make a rainbow. We used food colouring, oil and water to make lava lamps. We poked pencils through a bag filled with water.

Then on Friday we had a great outdoor day even though it was raining. We all got into our waterproof and wellies and went hunting for muddy puddles, we found the sandpit was full of water so we used that to splash in and some of us got our wellies stuck in the sand. We then came inside nursery and dried off and warmed up and had some yummy hot chocolate.
