From the Smarties Nursery
At Smarties Nursery, we take great satisfaction in the close bonds we create with our families and our homey atmosphere. Parents are children's primary teachers, and by collaborating with one another, we nurture children as they grow through their formative years.
The kids have been discussing adjustments. As they explored, they spoke about what happened to the ice and what they could do to cause it to melt into water. They tried creating marks on the ice and compressing it to make it melt into water. (Posted on Facebook by Smarties on 24.06.2022).
They have also enjoyed using chalk paint to decorate the pathway.
The kids were able to express themselves through their vibrant drawings on the wall and path by using both their fine and gross motor skills. They discussed the marks they were creating, the colours they were using, and how pleased they were to present their parents utilising their excellent communication abilities. The kids worked together to make the path leading to the nursery appear cheery and lovely.
Have your kids shown you which mark-making is their own? (Posted on Facebook by Smarties on June 23, 2022).
