Flying Start @ Camborne’s Ice Cream Shop!

May 4, 2015/in Camborne

Flying Start @ Camborne are serving Ice Creams in the garden…. regardless of the weather!

After lots of pretend play of eating ice creams and choosing favourite flavour combinations (lots of strawberry sauce!), the staff have followed the children’s lead and created an Ice Cream Shop in the garden!

Within the play house the children now use their imagination and make believe selling, making, scooping, tasting and buying ice creams.

Regardless of the weather, in the rain, wind and sunshine so far the children have been using their imagination to dream up ice-cream combinations and remembering to pay the shop keeper with their pennies… carefully counting them out!

Flying Start @ Camborne’s Al Fresco Art!

April 23, 2015/in Camborne

Flying Start @ Camborne love being outside… so they have taken their art projects out with them!

The children have been enjoying the sunshine, and exploring, playing and experimenting with what they would inside… but outside!

Here you can see children using chalks to make marks around the garden, finding different surfaces to make lines, shiny wooden gates, bumpy tree bark and smooth tyres are popular writing surfaces in this garden!

Painting with water and watching it dry has been featured on the Flying Start @ Cambornes blog before, but this week they have simply been getting their painting outside, and painting what they can see and hear around them!

And of course with all of these masterpieces being created it is vital to have somewhere to hang them to dry…

An ART TREE of course! For any ideas on creative projects in the garden just speak to your key worker, or if your child is already a budding artist in the garden send the nursery in a photo: cambornefs@hotmail.co.uk

Flying Start @ Camborne Get Physical In The Sunshine!

April 14, 2015/in Camborne

Flying Start @ Camborne are making the most of the warm sunshine, by getting outside lots!

The children have been exploring the garden and practicing their gym club skills out in the fresh air.

A quick warm up using the trikes and bikes, with quick and slow pedalling to warm up the legs!

And making assault courses!

Practicing our jumping skills, trying to remember to keep our feet together for a safe landing.

Flying Start @ Camborne’s Egg-citing Easter Event!

April 8, 2015/in Camborne

Flying Start @ Camborne had a fantastic Easter egg hunt at Tehidy Woods!

With 41 children and families looking for eggs with the Camborne team it really was a busy morning!

Everyone enjoyed a pasty lunch before strolling around the woods feeding the swans and squirrels.

It even stopped raining!

Flying Start @ Camborne’s Mummy Treats!

March 19, 2015/in Camborne

Flying Start @ Camborne wanted to help their Mummies be recognised by their children as being the fabulous ladies that they are!

The Mum’s were invited in for an afternoon tea treat with their children, lots of cuddles, arts and craft and baking activities and of course recognition from the staff and children for the very important Mummy job they do every day!

Thankyou Mums!

Flying Start @ Camborne’s New Wooden Resources…

March 10, 2015/in Camborne

Flying Start @ Camborne have some beautiful new wooden equipment!

The children are using the equipment in their play to balance, connect, build and construct with and this is developing their hand eye coordination and fine motor skills, as well as starting to problem solve.

The toddlers have different pieces with holes in for balancing on wooden poles, stacking and creating structures.

The preschool have a lovely kit of wooden pieces, little logs of different widths, lengths and circumferences for building and balancing watching the weight transfer and problem solving to make it all stay up!

Flying Start @ Camborne Visit Rosewarne’s Animals!

March 2, 2015/in Camborne, General

Flying Start @ Camborne have visited their Rosewarne site in Half Term!

The children visited the different animals at Rosewarne to meet them and pet, stroke and help feed….

The children also met a very special donkey outside…

Who was very tame, this meant the could get close to the donkey to give him a carrot and a big stroke!
