We have been keeping the little ones busy with all the fun activities going on in each room, have a look at what they have been getting up to this week at Little Kings & Queens Nursery.
Chalking in the Diamond Room
While toddlers are drawing, they are also improving their fine motor skills by learning how to grasp a writing utensil. As well as enabling a child to write, making marks can help develop their imagination and creative skills!
Healthy snacks and milkshakes in the Emerald Room
Letting the children prepare their own snacks and milkshakes can help build their vocabulary, introduce math skills and much more… as pre-schoolers begin to explore their independence, they love the opportunity to accomplish things on their own.
Body Parts
In the emerald room we have been teaching body parts to the children through games and activities. Children learn best when they don’t know they are learning! That is why it makes sense to use fun games and activities to hammer in the body parts information into our little ones brains, figuratively of course!
Making pita bread pizza with the Ruby Room
Sharing the kitchen with children encourages their interest in food; it is also a fun way to encourage healthy eating habits and skills for life!
Birthdays at the Nursery
Happy 3rd Birthday to Milo from the Emerald Room who celebrated his birthday with us this week!
Dance Dance Dance!
Another week of dance for the baby room and then our older children. It was a hit with them all, it’s great to see them enjoying themselves and getting some exercise in too!!
Playtime in the Baby Room!
When they are playing they are learning and experimenting; they are also beginning to get a sense of their own identity and how they may be different from others, such as noticing boys and girls. Organised activities help our little ones learn in an informal and fun setting!
Brushing Teeth
The Emerald Room are continuing with their book of the month ‘Cutie Sue fights the germs’ this week the children have been learning how to brush their teeth correctly!
Lots of different activities going on in the Ruby and Emerald room!
Children learn so many skills through play, there problem solving, skill building, overcoming physical and mental challenges!
Finger Puppets!
Finger puppets and nursery Rhythms in the Ruby room. Nursery rhymes have a lot more to offer than just entertainment value. They introduce babies and children to the idea of storytelling, promote social skills and boost language development.
Jumping in Muddy Puddles!
Playing in puddles is not only a lot of fun, it is a great sensory, learning and physical experience for children. They can explore how it feels to be stuck in mud and soggy from for the water, they can listen to the splashing and squelching sounds and they can see how puddles can be muddy and clear.
Lots of sensory activities and small world play scenes
These types of activities support Imaginative skills, allowing the child to express thoughts and experiences into their play, whilst exploring the world in which they live.This type of play not only supports a range of areas for development, but also benefits the child’s independent play skills.
Lots of messy play, play-doh & painting in the diamond room!
This is a great way for the little ones to get creative and use their imaginations!
Baby Yoga
Yoga is so beneficial to our little ones; it can help develop body awareness, Learn them how to use their bodies in a healthy way, manage stress through breathing, meditation and healthy movement.
