Nursery - Earth Day
Today is Earth Day! To commemorate this day our activity was based on how we look after our world! During this activity, the children demonstrated a clear understanding of where rubbish belongs. When rubbish was scattered in our clean classroom the children pointed and expressed that it needed to go in the bin! Their immediate reaction and verbalisation show strong expressive language skills. The children then worked together to collect and dispose of all the rubbish that had been planted in the classroom, using brilliant observation skills to find every piece of rubbish. At the craft table, the children selected pieces of blue and green tissue paper and attempted to stick them onto the paper using PVA glue. They initially struggled with spreading the glue but persevered, using their index finger to dab and spread it, showing developing fine motor skills. The children made links with the blue area being water and some children made links with animals that they might see living in the water. At the malleable table, the children manipulated the blue and green playdough, using a pinching action to pull off small pieces and moulding them together. When asked what they were making, they replied, "Earth!" Their manipulation of the playdough using pinching, rolling, and splatting showcases developing gross and fine motor skills.

Online Safety - Search Engines
Search engines are a routine part of everyday life, giving instant access to billions of web pages; however, this also increases the risk of children encountering harmful, untrustworthy, or illegal content. We’ve created this free guide – also available in podcast format – offering parents and educators quickfire information about the risks of search engines and practical steps that can be taken to safeguard children online.
