Nursery News – Opposites

 

Our 2 ½ to 3 ½ year old students have been exploring the concept of opposites. The sun goes down to sleep, the stars come out and the sky becomes dark.  They created day and night examples, by painting blue for the day and black for the night time. What fun it was for them to print clouds onto their pictures!

We have also been enjoying circle time in the mornings where they discuss and discover things that are big and small, up and down, rough and smooth.

Through Sensory play using play dough, they learn that dough is soft and the dough cutters are hard. They enjoyed rolling and squashing the play dough during our Sensory periods.

Cambridge is greatly centered on play-to-learn for the Early years and Foundation stage. Students learn through experience and reasoning. They absorb so much information when they can use their senses to trigger learning.
