The jelly some of the Nursery 3's children created yesterday using our Autumn nature hunt objects set throughout the night, so the children engaged in some messy play! They developed their communication skills by talking to their teachers and friends throughout, discussing that it felt ‘gooey’ ‘slimy’ ‘soft’ and ‘slippy.’ All of the children were able to identify the Autumn objects by name, talking about where we found them and what different Autumn colours they could see. They used vocabulary such as ‘stir’ ‘mix’ ‘mash’ and ‘scoop’ to describe the actions they were using in their play, and discussed what had happened to the jelly, stating that it was changing. Everyone impressed me with their sharing and turn taking skills also, ensuring that they were turn taking with the different tools!
