The Pre-School team @ Marjon have been busy ensuring their room promotes literacy in all areas, supporting the children in their school readiness journey – the children are enjoying learning and exploring in the cosy and welcoming environment!
The toddler staff @ Marjon have been busy setting up their room to reflect their new theme for Summer Term – Dear Zoo! The room looks amazing, and they cant wait to share lots of engaging activities with our busy toddlers.
Over the past few weeks, the Flora’s Mini Explorers have been very busy in the garden feeding the birds. They worked hard to make their own bird feeders and have been regularly filling and checking them to make sure the birds always have food. Watching the birds return again and again has been a lovely reward, and the children feel proud knowing they are helping to care for nature and their feathered friends.
At Flying Start @ Marjon, Flora’s Mini Explorers have been diving into the wonderful world of insects. Together we read Mini Beast Bop, enjoying the lively rhythm and meeting lots of different mini beasts! We also read The Bug Collector, following the story of a young collector who learns to appreciate insects in their natural homes. The children also explored a range of fact books about insects, discovering fascinating information about how bugs live, move, and help our environment. We have loved learning about these tiny creatures!
To kick start our growing mission and re-inspire us all after so much rain, we have signed up for our children to receive exciting post each month from POT GANG!
Delivered to the nursery door, a box to open with different types of seeds and clear instructions to get growing!
We have started with seedling potatoes, herbs, and strawberries..
The start of the month has become very exciting, because we don’t know what is coming next!
Watch this space for updates… and do share photos with your nursery or on your child’s learning story of anything you have growing at home, we would love to show the children.
Flora’s Mini Explorers at Marjon have been having a wonderful time creating magic wands in the forest area.
The children collected sticks and natural materials, using their imaginations to turn simple finds into something special. They worked together, shared ideas, and got creative as they decorated their wands. It was lovely to see their confidence grow as they proudly showed their finished creations and talked about the magic their wands could make.
The activity encouraged teamwork, creativity, and lots of joyful exploration throughout the week.
The Preschool children @ Flying Start Marjon been thoroughly enjoying reading “Room on the Broom,” and we thought it would be fun to create some items from the book, such as a cauldron and a magical wand, to help our pumpkin seeds grow by using a magic spell.
This week at forest school, the toddlers have been searching for fallen leaves. We’ve collected them and included them in their painting project. We have been collaborating and learning to share the resources.
