Flying Start @ Redruth Make Pumpkin Soup!
Day Nursery made their own pumpkin & potato soup! The babies and toddlers all carefully chopped and diced their locally sourced pumpkin and potatoes. Then selected some herbs from the garden to include in their soup. They then got to enjoy their lovely warm autumnal soup for snack on a cold & wet Friday morning!
Flying Start @ Helston Look At Skeleton’s!!
The pre-schoolers have been learning all about their bodies as part of their All About Me theme. We sat down and spoke about the different bones and joints that make up our skeleton, and what we use them for. Then, using different types of pasta, we made a diagram of what our skeleton looks like.
Flying Start @ Redruth Have A Scarecrow Tea Party!!!
We celebrated Harvest festival and the start of Autumn with a Scarecrows Tea Party.The children spent the last couple of weeks creating their own scarecrows at home and at nursery to decorate the nursery.
We made yummy snacks which included home made scones, bread and our own scarecrow pizza’s. We played scarecrow games and even enjoyed a scarecrow story.
Thank you to all the families that joined us for such a fun afternoon.
Flying Start @ Redruth Grow, Cook and Eat!!!
Day Nursery have been getting really involved in their USP this week (grow it, cook it, eat it)!
They harvested herbs from the vegetable patch to bake in the delicious bread they made for snack.
The Babies also went on a local trip to the fruit and veg shop to buy some local produce to sample which they explored and tasted.
Flying Start @ Redruth On World Mental Health Day!
We all celebrated our individuality and what makes us feel happy, and sad wearing our bright clothes.
The children carried out large expressive painting indoors and outdoors to different types of music. They explored sparkly dough and water and even made their own sparkly stars with colours that make them happy.
The Music Project also involved our emotions as we sang lots of emotion songs.
Flying Start @ Redruth Build Houses!
This week the Pre school children have been focusing on shapes through construction activities.
They particularly enjoyed large scale junk modelling where they made their own houses.
The children created windows, doors, chimneys and even solar panels.
It sparked such lovely conversations about how all our houses are different.
Flying Start @ Redruth Express Themselves!
The children have been exploring their emotions this week and how different things make them feel.
We used music with paint to allow the children to express themselves.
Flying Start @ Redruth Have A New Learning Theme!
Both departments are focusing on the theme of ‘All About Me’.
We have been learning about ourselves, how we look and what we like and dislike.
We have been learning about our homes in age related activities such as exploring the home corner in the day nursery and learning about different types of homes in the preschool.
Day nursery will be learning through the story of ‘Peace at Last’ and Pre School will be learning through the story of ‘The Tiger Who Came To Tea’.
We can’t wait to see what we learn about ourselves!
Flying Start @ Redruth Make Yummy Raspberry Bread
This week the Pre-schooler’s weighed, measured and counted their way to perfectly raised raspberry bread.
Using freshly picked raspberries they baked a delicious treat for snack time! They have started to learn about the effect of yeast in the bread maker and so had to carefully add this to the ingredients.
Flying Start @ Redruth At The Beach!
The children have been learning all about the beach this Summer.
We have made our own beach with buckets and spades and even a rock pool…
No trip to the beach would be complete without ice cream, so the children have also made their own ice cream stall with lots of flavours and sprinkles! Yum yum!
This has given lots of opportunities to explore mathematical concepts such shape, size and money, making sure everyone pays for their ice creams!
