Rainbow Room
What Have We Been Doing?
RAINBOW children have been learning about "Winter" which has been incorporated in our continuous provision such as snowy play dough, in the malleable area, investigating 'ice' in the water play, mixing paints to create 'cool colours' in the messy area and " Percy the penguin " and " Is it cold outside" stories at circle time. The children have enjoyed designing and making a polar bear and penguin 'home', with Mrs Taylor, using a variety of textured media, natural resources such as wood, water and ice and also adding foam to create snow!!! This made a really exciting reflective environment for the children to explore and encourage imagination and sensory skills. Mrs Davis has introduced the children to a selection of winter vegetables, for vegetable printing, tasting and cutting-this activity promoted colour recognition and physical development. The children also gave excellent examples of descriptive language when explaining the textures and flavours and also linked situations to home life experiences. The vegetable printing pictures are beautiful and will be displayed on our “Healthy eating display". At the present time the Rainbow room is making improvements, each area of continuous provision will be more defined and have more opportunities for learning, as enhancements will be made weekly through the children's individual needs and interests. Child's key-worker group will be displayed and the member of staff responsible for that group, to encourage nursery and home links.

Parent and Toddler Group
Some young visitors came with their mums and dads to our Nursery and Infant Hall for the Parent and Toddler Group. Soft play, playing in the ball pool and decorating gingerbread people kept the children very busy, whilst the mums and dads enjoyed a bit of time-out chatting to other parents.
