What did you do at the weekend?

We asked some of our pre school children at The Spinney Bell Meadow to draw what they did with their families at the weekend. Here are a few. We think they are brilliant :)

Just look at these adorable creatures that our Pre School children at the Spinney Bell Meadow created from their experiments with paint. We think they are great and so cute! :)

Did you know, that every Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning the children at the Spinney Hoole take part in ‘Kinder Music’ with Stephanie. Here they learn about rhythm, music and different instruments aswell as dancing and moving to the musical story time. They love it!

The Spinney pre school get creative with sand!

The children in the Spinney pre school decided that they wanted to make ‘Sand Cakes’ so carefully measured the sand into containers and mixed it all up to put into cake shaped containers, before decorating them with shapes. A very creative way to play with sand from the sand pit!

What a Frosty Morning!

Now….we realise that it is Winter, but having had a few mild weeks this cold snap took us by surprise. The Spinney Nursery Children, however, have really enjoyed donning hats, gloves & scarves and getting out in the frosty morning. They were fascinated by the frost that lay on the outdoor equipment and made lots of swirly shapes in it with their gloved fingers!

What a fantastic time we had at The Spinney Bell Meadow Christmas Concert! The Children were brilliant and played their parts in the nativity very well, whilst singing their little hearts out! Many thanks to all the staff who helped make it a real success as well as the parents who came to watch. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas! :)

Christmas Cheer at the Spinney Hoole
 

At this time of year the nurseries are busy practising for the children’s Christmas Concert, however this year the parenst thought it would be great fun to do their own concert and brought in their instruments and singing voices to do a medley of Christmas Carols for the children and families of The Spinney Day Nursery. It was a great evening with both a great turnout and many mince pies consumed. We would like to say a big thank you to the families who came and indeed those who brought their instruments to play.

The children at The Spinney Hoole had a very interesting visit from one of the parents who is a Doctor. They were taught about what a Doctor does and shown the different instruments that a Doctor uses, as well as looking at what the human body consists of. It was a very fun and interesting visit which the children really enjoyed

The children at Holiday Club had a great day during half term where one of our lovely parents, Pippa Lace, came in to do a multicultural day about the Diwali Festival. The children dressed in traditional clothes, made candle holders, learnt about the gods and even sampled some Indian food. A great day and a big thank you to Pippa!
