🌟Fitness and exersise🌟

The children went yo the astron turf area to carry out some activities to help them stay fit. 

They used ball, bats, quoits and hoops. 

They played a game of follow the leader and had to copy any action shown to them whilst moving from one side of the pitch to the other. They then had yo show what way they preferred and demonstrate to others. 

They were asked to describe how they felt and how their body was reacting.  They said, 'I feel hot', 'my heart is going fast', 'I'm sweaty', I'm out of breath'!

A great healthy session of getting fit with friends! 

Da iawn pawb!

Doctors and Dentists! 

The children looked at some equipment they may see when they visit the Doctors surgery ir hospital.  They investigated what the items could be used for and what they may help find out why we're poorly. 

We then played a game  looking at different food and drink that may be good or bad for our teeth.  The children had to decide if they needed to peg it on to the happy tooth or the sad tooth to complete the activity!

The children will be finding out about the three R's.

'REDUCE, REUSE RECYCLE'. 

We will be looking out for signs on food packets, bottle and packaging that tell us we can recycle them. 

The children made a fabulous collage of a turtle using lots of different scrap pieces that could've been thrown away, but we used them to make something very  special!

They held the marshmallow over the heat and watched them go brown as they toasted, they counted to 10 twice before removing them from the stick to ensure they had cooled enough to touch and eat! 

They were delicious, a fabulous treat for working hard in Outdoor Learning week!

Balloon play!

​​​​​​

The children had great fun playing with balloons! The used balloon pumps to blow them up, and used lots of energy pumping them up to different sizes without bursting them! They tried not to break them whilst playing.  They thought about how to carry them without letting them pop. They chatted about how the air was trapped inside them and how they might float away in the wind. 🌬️🎈🌬️​​​​​​

🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

Bubbles! 

We have been investigating bubbles. 

The children have been looking at how bubbles are formed.  They used lots of different bubble sticks, that created many different sizes and shapes.  They looked at the colours that were shining in the sunshine and how the bubbles moved in the air.  They chatted about how the air was trapped inside the bubble until it burst! A great fun activity that needed lots of 'puff'!

RSPB Birdwatch! 

Today the Nursery children took part in the RSPB National Bird Watch Survey! Each child had a picture on a clipboard and had to make a mark  to record the birds they seen at our Calon y Coed woodland area. They had to sit still, be very quiet, look carefully and wait very patiently for the birds to appear. The children seen many different birds and have collated their findings to send back to the National Survey.

It was a lovely day for Birdwatching in the beautiful sunshine! 

🕊️🦜🐦🕊️🦜🐦

Connecting with Nature 

The children used their  fine manipulation skills and fantastic eye-hand co-ordination to create some super cheerio feeders for the birds. They threaded lots of the rings onto pipe cleaners and counted as they put them on! 

We then visited Calon y Coed to hang them in the trees for the birds to munch on.  We could hear the birds singing happily in the trees. We all enjoyed a lovely morning on a beautiful sunny day!

We had a fantastic morning doing our sponsored run for Velindre! Dosbarth Maple needed to do 7 laps of the yard! There were quite a few children who were so keen, they did lots more than 7, and continued running! They enjoyed the run so much they kept running alongside their friends!

Outdoor exploring! 

What a beautiful day to spend the afternoon exploring at Calon y Coed. ❤️

The children looked for signs of spring and had lots of fun playing in the trees, hiding and using their wonderful imagination!

We had some delicious biscuits and sang our hearts out in the log circle!! 

Fun in the snow!

​​​​​​The children enjoyed having a play in the fresh snow before it got too chilly and cold! ❄️

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Floating

Will it float?

The children found various things around the class and found out if they floated by placing them in the water trays.  Some stayed on the top of the water, others bobbed about and some dropped quickly to the bottom. The children made a record of what they used and decided they'd like to investigate again soon to find things that sink quickly!​​​​​​

​​​​​​

Ice melting investigation

All the children were given a large cube of ice and were challenged to find away to make it melt, and find the surprise that was hidden inside.  They used hammers, wooden blocks and water to see which worked the quickest. The children were very clever and thought about how they could crack, break and remove the ice. They all agreed WARM water was the best!

Our yard was very pretty and colourful!

🍀🍁Leaf animal pictures! 🍁🍀

The children walked around the school looking for leaves to use on their animal pictures.  We looked at various trees and their colours, shapes, sizes, and the smells that were present.

Daffodils 

Today the children looked at daffodil bulbs and discussed what happens to them as they grow. They talked about the bulb's shape, and features of the bulb, and what happens when it grows. The children then planted them as a team and took turns to space them out in the pots to give them room to grow. 

We can't wait to see how they bloom next spring!

Our Homes 

We have been looking at the different types of homes we live in. We talked about what style of home it is. Is it a house, flat, bungalow or caravan? 

We looked at the doors, windows, garden and paths. 

The children used Ipads and the smart board to design a house they would like to live in! ​​​​​​

Let's go travelling! 

By land, water and air! 

This week the children have been learning about how we can travel to other places from where we live. 

The children discussed how they would travel to places, places they would like to go, and who they would like to travel with! 

We chatted about what we could travel in and how we would get there! 

The children were given a sorting activity, they needed to decide how each vehicle would travel and put them in the correct category group. 

They all did very well, they helped each other, shared and took turns to work through the task! 

Da iawn bawb, gwaith da!

Leaf confetti! 

The children enjoyed the beautiful weather and collected various coloured leaves to make leaf confetti using novelty hole punches. 

The children needed lots of precision, eye-hand coordination and super strength to use the cutters. They did a fantastic job of the task! 

🍁🍂🌿🍀🍃🍁🍂🌿🍀🍃🍁🍂

A morning at Calon y Coed hanging our bird feeders in places for the birds to find! 

The children needed to find suitable places to hang their feeders in the the trees. They thought about how the birds would reach them, how to keep them dry, spreading them out to share them around, and making sure they would stay on the branch. 

The children did a great job of ensuring all the feeders were safe and secure. 

We all hope the birds in Calon y Coed enjoy their treats! 

☀️🌿🌹🌼🐦🌱🐤🌸🦉🥀🌹☀️

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Planting using cotton wool! 

We experimented using our planting skills, to see if seeds would grow

without using earth or compost! 

The children sprinkled mustard cress, cress and lettuce seeds onto wet cotton wool in plastic cups and are now waiting to see what happens.  The cups are checked by the children everyday, so we are waiting for the results!

Fruit tasting! 

Dosbarth Maple enjoyed a fruit tasting session, and were encouraged to try to pick a favourite! 

They were told where some of the fruit comes from, as not all of it can be grown here because of the type of weather it needs to be grown in, and they learned that some of the fruit comes from so far away it takes some time to get to our shops. 

Picking a favourite became a very hard decision as the fruit was so delicious! 

The lemon and lime tasting produced some very funny faces!! 

The children were asked to describe the tastes! They used words such as sour, sweet, yucky, yummy, horrible, and nice! 

They questioned each other,

"Are you eating all that, it's yucky!!" 

"I have these in my house, do you too?" 

"My Grampy grows apples and tomatoes, can your Grampy grow stuff!"

PLATINUM JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS

Well.... what an amazing end to the half term! Thank you to everyone that came to our Jubilee Celebrations, and for making the day a special one to remember.  We all had a great time and we hope you enjoyed it as much as Dosbarth Maple did!

The children enjoyed a busy morning of games, singing, dancing and dressing up in their outfits, crowns and Prince/Princess sashes, before heading out for the afternoon's performances, tea, craft displays and   celebrations!

Fantastic!

We've had a great start to our new term, and ended the week with an afternoon at

The children explored the woods and carried their magic sticks with them. 

They enjoyed playing together, singing songs and reciting rhymes in the beautiful sunshine!

🥚Easter egg pairs 

​​​​​​🥚

The children were challenged to a special game of pairs. They needed to find matching eggs, looking at size, pattern and colour. 

Chalk pictures! 

The children designed some wonderful sea creature pictures. They used bright, bold chalk colours. 

Each picture is unique and so pretty. 

Colour walk! 

There are amazing colours to be found around our school, so we went out to see what we could find.  The children recognised and named the colours and noted what they found by raking photos of the evidence in an ipad. 

EXCELLENT WORK, 

GWAITH GWYCH PAWB!

Dosbarth Maple has budding photographers too! 📷

👂👂Listening Walk.👂👂

​​​​

Listening skills are very important so the children went outside to listen and identify sounds they could hear.  They concentrated well and made notes of what was heard.  The children discussed the noises and described what they could hear. 

Super listening, da iawn! 

Floating and sinking! 

We made our boats from foil and floated them in a pool. The children moulded their foil around their hand and created something they thought would be able to float.  We were investigating the boat's ability to float when empty and full.  We predicted our results and tried out our boats. The children placed their boats on the water, then gradually added pennies to see how many it could hold before the weight made them sink. 

Great work Dosbarth Maple, excellent predictions and lots of encouragement for one another throughout the activity! 

​​​​​​🌸🌹🌺Growing flowers!/ Tyfu blodau! 🌺🌹🌸

The children planted tulip bulbs before Christmas, and they have now grown into colourful beautiful blooms.  The children have taken care of the plants as they have been growing, making sure they were warm through the frosts and watered in the dry spells.  We think we have some super gardeners in our class, the flowers are certainly proof of that! 

WOW, they are fantastic! 

Bracelet swap! 

Lets do something kind! 

We asked the children what they would like to make, BUT, give away to someone in our class.  They chose to make friendship bracelets! Everyone made a bracelet then gave it to a friend in the class to keep.  It was a lovely activity and each child received a special bracelet from a friend.

All the children understood that they were not keeping their creation and  were handing it to someone else.  They were fantastic and had great pleasure in giving and receiving alongside their friends. Da iawn bawb! 

​​​​​​🧲Finding magnetic

items! 🧲

The children explored the class and school grounds looking for magnetic bits and pieces! 

They all had a guess and predicted whether they thought things would and wouldn't be magnetic.  Many of our predictions were correct but others were a little confusing. Not all metal items were magnetic, so that led us to investigate further to find out what metal these 'odd' items were made of! 

The children found lots of magnetic things around our school and made a list of them when we got back to class! 

Well done children, some fantastic language used and lots of new words learnt!🌟

​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​

What happens when we use a magnifying glass? 

It was a super fun activity today using a various types of magnifying glasses.  The children found out how it can help you see things clearer.  The children used fantastic language when exploring.  The described how things grew and how they could see small things easier.  Some of the words they used were - tiny, mini, small, invisible, dinky, huge, massive, enormous, gigantic!! 

They found insects and patterns on the leaves and trees that were so much easier to see when using their special tool. 

Foam paint pictures. 

We've been looking at textures with liquids. Investigating some runny, thick, gloopy and sticky paint.  The children mixed paint with different amounts of shaving foam to see how the feel of it changed.  They then painted beautiful coloured pictures that had very interesting patterns. The looked wonderful. ​​​​

Winter of Wellbeing with Forces Fitness! 

The children enjoyed a fantastic afternoon with Sean from Forces Fitness.  The children needed lots of teamwork to complete the activites. They did a super job of problem solving and working out ways to complete Sean's tasks. Da iawn bawb, gwaith da! 

Comic Relief/Red Nose Day

Ukraine Appeal

We wore blue and yellow to support the Ukraine Appeal! 

🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 

The whole class enjoyed dancing and showing off their groovy moves, today in our class dance off! 

The children enjoyed some super music and had a great time together raising a fantastic amount of money!

Continuing our 'Under the Sea' theme activities! 

 (Science,  Outdoor Learning and Health and Well Being.) ​​​​​​

'How do we make bubbles?' 

The children found out about bubbles. They looked at size, colour and movement.  The children used various sized bubble rings and compared how they formed, drifted away and burst. It was a great investigation and became a very funny and enjoyable activity with bubbles bursting everywhere! 

The children enjoyed lots of activities that showed them what materials would sink and float. They predicted what items would do, then investigated to see if they were correct. 

We learned a new word that we are going to be using and investigating! 

"Buoyant". 

Seren Yr Wythnos 18/3

World Book Day! 

We celebrated World Book Day by reading a very special book about 'Real Superheroes'. The children carried out activities that explained the roles of the Key Worker superheroes that helped us get through the Pandemic lock down, keeping us safe and well! 

They made finger puppets for story telling, copied special colourings, and dressed the superhero sticking! 

The children took part in a class Book Swap and also received a copy of the fantastic book that they worked on through the day, 'Real Superheroes'!

Children's  Mental Health week!

Growing Together. 

Throughout the week we have taken part in lots of activities to help us consider how we have grown and how we can help others grow. 

The children decorated hot air balloon pictures and labelled them with the people or things they feel are a support to them, and help them to grow. 

They also thought of a goal they have for the future that they would like to achieve, and coloured a star to express their determination. 

All the children were then given a balloon to care for and not allow to burst through the day. We took the balloons out to play and every where we went around our school! 

The children took great care of their balloons and did extremely well looking after them!

They were also extremely good fun to play with! 

To end our Children's Mental Health Week activities, the children learned a song and dance. We talked about having dreams and goals, and doing our best to achieve them! They were amazing!

Anti-bullying Week 2021

To begin our Anti-bullying week activities the children took part in Odd Sock Day! 

We had a wonderful conversation about how everyone is different and that we all like and dislike different things. We chatted about looking different and that we are ALL important. 

We talked about friendship, kindness, caring for others and including Everyone! 

The children did very well when asked 'What can we do to be a good friend?' 

Answers included- "we can share, take turns, help others, show them what to do, show them your friends to have more, be kind, give hugs, hold hands" 

We decided to make a Friendship Quilt using everyone's name. The children used their fine manipulation skills and lots of eye-hand coordination to place 'Happy' stickers in their name bubble. 

It looks fantastic, the children enjoy finding their name and helping their friends find theirs! 

Da iawn bawb, gwaith da! 

At the end of the weeks activities we had a super special visitor. It was Children In Need day and Pudsey Bear joined us for breakfast! 

We had a toasty breakfast and enjoyed a very busy fun filled day of activities!

☀️☀️☀️Summer Term! ☀️☀️☀️

Welcome to the Summer term, let’s hope for some lovely weather,  so we can get out and about in the glorious fresh air!

Our theme this term is 

Birds!

We will be using the book

Hooray for Birds! By Lucy Cousins

It has some beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story!

----------------------------------------------

**********************

We have come to the end of an extremely different year in school! It has been a challenge for us all, but the children have been fantastic and we are immensely proud of each and every one of them! 

To end our time together we had a little party and the weather was very kind to us! 

*************************

*************************

International Week! 

France​​​​​​!

The children tried some delicious French food, made some super craft pieces and built landmarks found in France using packing boxes. We talked about the people, places, food, traditions and learned some words and a song and did some counting ! The children even answered the register in French! 

The building activity needed the children to look at pictures of special places in France, such as The Arc de Tiomphe, Eiffel Tower and  Pont Neuf, they then recreated them using the boxes in groups. ​​​​​​

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

🐦🕊️🐦🐦🕊️🐦

Making cereal feeders for the birds! 

                                                                The children made bird feeders to hang in the trees, using Cheerios Cereal and pipe cleaners. They wanted the birds to enjoy some treats. They threaded the cereal onto the pipe cleaners, took them to the woodland area, choose where was best to hang them, whilst thinking about how the birds could get to them and balance when eating them and placed them where they thought best! Lots of concentration, desions making, thinking skills and problem solving used in this activity! 

*******************

*******************

Exploring and having fun together in Calon y Coed.

The children were set tasks to build a den/shelter.  They were given some sheeting and ropes, and then the Dens were created by them.  Amazing results and lots of co-operation, team work and helping each other!👏👏

Connecting with Nature!

Although it had been a wet few days the children were all excited to get ‘wellied up’ and get outdoors at Calon y Coed for a great outdoor play session!

They had a great time connecting with nature in our school surroundings! 

We had a senses session, listening, smelling, looking and feeling Nature all around us!

WONDERFUL!

Preparing to plant and planting our Sunflower seeds!

The children had to collect mulch from our delivery and bring it back to our yard to use in their labelled pots! Everyone needed to fill a pot and help fill our class trolley!  They were super helpers and enjoyed doing some hard work!

The children added some compost and placed their sunflower seeds in before giving them a good water!

Looking after EGGS!

Each of the children collected grass, hay and shrubs to make a safe and warm nest for their REAL egg! They all made a label for their pots. They ensured they were kept in a special place where they would not get damaged! It was each child’s responsibility to take care of their egg over the days ahead! They took them wherever they went and made sure they were ok!

The children threaded the dandelion stalks through the card and taped them at the back to hold them in! They looked amazing!

We followed a recipe to make the honey and had a delicious tasting session to see how sweet it was!

We then made beautiful sparkly mobiles from old dvds/cds and colourful feathers! They catch the sunlight and twinkle when they shine!

🍁Spring term!🍁

January-April 2021

It has been an unusual star to our Spring term this year, due to being in lockdown!

The children are doing a magnificent job of their blended learning activities, I am so very proud of them all. 💗

A big THANK YOU for all the help and support from all our Parents and Carers, you are doing a wonderful job! 👏👏

🐻🐼🐨🐻🐼🐨🐻🐼🐨🐻

Our theme this Term is based on the book ‘Dear Polar Bear’.

It is a beautiful feel good story about friendship and kindness, and is a lovely way to instil and encourage this in our children!

It’s time to plant our seed potatoes!

The children have checked all the potatoes and have decided that they are now ready for planting!

They made sure the potatoes were spaced out and planted deep enough for them to grow well!

They all did a marvellous job, they encouraged and helped each other complete our garden task!

We’re going on a Bear Hunt!

We were very brave today! We all visited Calon y Coed looking for Bears!

The Children looked here, there and everywhere!

They found lots of Bears, there were grizzly, panda, sun, moon, sloth, and American blacks all hiding in the woodland trees!

Let’s get our seed potatoes ready for a super crop!

The children enjoyed preparing our seed potatoes for planting.  They learned about what needs to happen before we are able to plant them, how we plant them to ensure they grow, and how to carefully handle them not to break the sprouting chits!

Fun and games in our yard and Nursery garden area, lots of outdoor learning and play! We love getting dirty and had lots of laughs and giggles!

We started our term with a visit to our wonderful woodland area Calon y Coed!

The sun was shinning, the birds were singing and Dosbarth Maple we’re smiling!

We played on our woodland music wall, found frogspawn in the pond, hugged our 🍁Maple tree, danced and sang songs on the stage, played in the mud kitchen, forest bathed, built sticks and stones creations, a few children helped to cut some tree roots and we all thoroughly enjoyed having fun in the fresh air with our class mates!

🍁Autumn Term🍁

🍁🍁🌟🌟🍁🍁

🎄Christmas in our super class🎄

The children had a terrific time celebrating the Christmas festivities.

They made cards, calendars and decorations to take home for their families.

Every day one of the children decorated a tree or wreath, so they looked different from day to day.

We recited a whole book together and recorded it for everyone to see and hear!

The children did and amazing job of this, and made us all very proud!

Christmas Jumper Day

Our delightful Children learnt a complete book to recite for a whole school performance on our website. (This is available on the website under Children -  School Video - for you to view, have a look, it’s such a treat!) The book was called ‘That’s not my Santa’. The did an absolutely fantastic job! Can you spot the children holding up every page they learnt?

Posing for Christmas Decorations!

Super smiley faces!

Please continue to practice our Read, Write, Inc. sounds. 

Please remember to say the sound the letter makes and not the name of the letter!

            Anti-Bullying week!             INDIVIDUALITY and DIVERSITY!

🎆🎇Diwali!🎇🎆

The children enjoyed listening to the Story of Rana and Sita for our Diwali learning. They coloured some Rangoli patterns in bright colours to put up on our wall! They are beautiful!

Remembrance Poppies

The Children made fantastic Poppies to remember our soldiers and to say ‘Thank You’ for all they have done and do for us everyday!

Bonfire Leaf Pictures

🍁🔥The children made some fantastic pictures using the leaves they had found in our forest area. They designed their own Bonfires, used lots of skills and had great fun outdoors! The children looked at the shape, colour, and size of their pictures, then compared their design to their classmates.  They finished off the Bonfires with a BIG sprinkling of super, shiny, sparkling glitter, and I’m sure you’ll agree they look amazing!🔥🍁

Well being and learning about emotions!

😁😢😡😳 
 

🌟🍁abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz🍁🌟

We have started looking at our Read, Write Inc letters this week!

Our first letter to practice is,

m   m   m

Please can you find items that begin with m to reinforce the sound with your child?

eg money, milk, mat, moon!

We have also been practising our numbers from 1-5!

  1   2   3   4   5  

Please can you help your child to name and recognise the numbers in day to day situations, such as at the shops, on road signs, house numbers, car registration plates and much more!

Here are some photos of our first term together at Nursery class!

We’ve been taking part in lots of activities, that help our socialising and learning!

We practice our learning together and sometimes on our own quietly, but having fun and enjoying what we do is the most important part!

We make sure we all engage in times where we look after each other and ourselves!

We take part in mindfulness sessions, yoga activities, wellbeing tasks and lots more!

Here they are for them to show you!  They are very good for well being and mental health and encouraging a bit of quiet time, have a go and let me know how you all do!Hello everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well.

The Children should have all received their little envelopes, with a little something from myself and the Nursery Staff.  I hope they like it and hold it tight until we’re all together again! Take Care and Stay Safe Everyone! Thank You Mrs Akers

Exercises to try whilst we’re away from school!

I have set up a Private Facebook page for Parent/Carers to post on.

This page is for me to set activities for you to try and for you to show me how your little darlings are getting on!

The page is called ‘Maplettes Making Memories’, take a look and add your photos for us all to see!

March 2020

Here are a few activities for you to have a go at with your child while we are not in school.  You can see how they’re getting on and have fun helping their learning together, enjoy!

You'll be surprised by how much they actually know and do every day!  

Please take care and make the most of this time together with your super children, have fun, enjoy each other and stay safe.

Mrs Akers and Nursery staff.

Nursery Children enjoyed lots of exciting activities during the last school term, here are a few photos of some special days!
