Over the last term we have been introducing the children’s favourite stories into our planning. This has been a great way to support our little ones with their Communication and Language, all whilst keeping them engaged with their love of books!
The Upper preschool at Cornwall College have been working on key skills we need to know by the time we go to school. This has run alongside our book of the week ‘my first day at school’. We have been working on skills such as our number recognition, fine motor skills and our letters and sounds.
At Cornwall College, Upper preschool have been having a focus on our oral hygiene and the teaching behind it. Alongside our daily teeth brushing sessions, we have also been exploring different ways we can protect our teeth as well as looking at all the different layers our teeth contain all in aid of dental hygiene month.
As well as exploring the many layers of our teeth, we looked at the different kinds of food that we can eat or avoid to help try and keep our teeth clean. We also practised painting some teeth to help develop the muscles needed in our wrists to ensure that our teeth are cleaned thoroughly.
This week we had a visit from our Registered Dental Nurse at The Big Brush Club who carried out our Quality Assurance Check – She was SO pleased with us that we had NO recommendations and passed with Flying (start) Colours! Huge thank you, as always to the team and Tammy who led the visit and smashed it!
The children at Cornwall College have enjoyed exploring our new sensory room. We have been exploring in the sensory room and have especially enjoyed the touch lights and seeing them change colour. When they changed colour and the music was playing, we had so much fun.
The children at Flying Start Cornwall College have been having a great time settling back in to the nursery routine and are enjoying lots of exciting play with friends.
Day Nursery One @ Cornwall College have been getting in the Christmas spirit! Since the beginning of December we have been enjoying a huge range of activities including Christmas crafts, games and designing some beautiful cards for our loved ones
It was a great turn out and everyone has so much fun. We had a Halloween themed snack part way through, in which the children helped make earlier on in the day. We had marshmallow ghosts, pumpkin shaped biscuits, frightening cupcakes and so much more. There was various Halloween activities laid out across the room which everyone got involved in and really enjoyed. We had cauldron painting, a spider web fine motor skill puzzle, and googly eye slime. Thank you for everyone who came!
