Flying Start @ Redruth Listen To A Real Saxophone!

We have been lucky enough to be selected to participate in the Cornwall Music Service Project.

The children have been learning all about different aspects of music, linking especially to our language and emotional development.

This week our Music teacher Emily brought in her Saxophone for the children to listen to and explore. The children really enjoyed the variety of sounds it created and loved how shiny it was.

They even attempted to recreate some of the sounds with their voices.

Next week Emily will be coming in with her Saxophone group to play a bit of a concert with the children.

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.

The children went on a trip to Burncoose Nurseries. We were given a guided tour by John who works there. They helped the children find different coloured leaves on a variety of trees. He taught us the name of lots of trees and plants. We went hunting for animal houses, we saw a hole in a tree that an owl or a bat might have lived in.

At the end John gave us some goodies to take away. We had bulbs for a Christmas plant and a magazine.
