SUMMER HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES: It’s non-stop summer fun activities in nursery, for our ‘all year round’ children. We are already into summer holiday mode, so we’re making the most of the summer weather, enjoying safe outdoor play, as much as possible.
The team will be as always working very hard to recreating a theme of each week, so our children can immerse themselves in play, during this holiday time. The first week kicks off with ‘Space and science week’ – a rocket ship created for the children to travel in space, visiting the planets! They will also be doing experiments - Lots of mixing and measuring, making silly aliens and much more! We then ROAR into week 2 – ‘Dinosaur week’ This is a good one, we go back in time to create dinosaur world in nursery – there will be fossil hunting, our children will be explorers by tracking down dinosaurs following their giant feet scattered on the floor, lots of crafts activities such as making dinosaur eggs etc. ‘ABC Food and Drink festival’ is week 3 – Lots of stalls set up around the room but the best is making and eating different types of food for the week! Very yummy indeed! Ahoy matey! Week 4 is ‘Pirate week’. The room will be created into a pirate ship with costumes and walk plank with water play! Not one to miss. Week 5 theme is ‘Knights and Princesses week’, where the children will be battling dragons at the huge castle dressed up in costumes! They will be designing and making their coat of arms and royal crowns. We end the summer holiday with ‘Party week!’ each day will be a different theme full of dancing, games, messy play etc. – (Monday- Bank Holiday - closed), Tuesday is ‘Fancy Dress’, Wednesday is ‘Crazy Hair Day’, Thursday is ‘Superhero’s’ and to end a fun summer holiday is ‘Pyjama Day’ on Friday! Under twos’ room will follow the same plan but on different weeks. All rooms will do Party week!
