At group time today we all had a go at building models using 3D shaped wooden blocks. We encouraged the children to talk about their buildings using words such as round, tall, circle, square, triangle, rectangle.

Following the children's interests we had a go at finger painting today. Lots of the children really enjoyed the sensory experience of feeling the paint on their hands but some were not too keen!
The children were fascinated by the different marks they could make and there was lots of talk during this activity too. One child dipped one hand in blue paint and one in yellow and then rubbed them together. He was amazed that it made green paint. What super learning! This week in nursery we are learning about shapes so we have enhanced lots of our provision areas linked to this theme. We have different shaped cutters in the dough, shape turtles in the water area, shape stencils and lots of different shaped paper to choose from in our mark making area, shape puzzles and 3D blocks made of different shapes to build with. Today the children have enjoyed exploring different shapes in their play and we have been modelling different shape vocabulary including circle, oval, square, triangle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon, semi-circle, round, curved, straight, corners and sides.
See if your child can spot any shapes in the environment while you are our and about. For a focused activity today, we all had a go at printing with different shaped sponges. The children learnt how to dip the sponge into the paint and then use pressure to press it onto the paper. Some of us were amazed at the print it left! We talked about the shapes and some children were really confident at naming them.
