This week, children have been searching for spiders in Nursery and looking for their webs. We sang Incy Wincy Spider and made spiders in the malleable area using playdough. First, we had to roll a ball to make the body and then we rolled sausage shapes to add on the legs. Some children managed to count 8 legs to put on their spiders!
In the maths area, we counted spiders carefully to match the numeral written on each web. During group time, older children counted spiders and looked at which web had the most/fewest spiders. We also talked about what happened if we had ‘one more’ or ‘one less’ spider on the web. For example: ‘There are 4 spiders on the web, 1 spider runs away. How many will be left? How do you know?’
In the creative area we made our own spiders webs by rolling a marble backwards and forwards. It was lots of fun and we were very happy with our silky webs.
In the sensory area we used tweezers to pick up our own spaghetti worms.
Help at home.
Have a minibeast hunt in your outdoor space or at the park. Can you find any minibeasts ? How many legs can you see ? Do they have a pattern ? Do they have wings ? Let us know at Nursery what you find.
Next week
We will continue reading “Mad about Minibeasts”

Please remember to put your child’s named sun cream in their group basket on the days that you want it to be applied.
Your child needs a coat every day. The weather is changeable at the moment and a sunny morning can often turn into a chilly afternoon.
