Our Current Topic is 'How does that building stay up?' 

The wolf huffed, and he puffed, but he couldn’t blow the house down! How does that building stay up? How many windows does it have? It’s time to find out more about buildings and the materials from which they are made.

This half term we’ll handle different building materials, and we’ll build structures out of wet sand, construction kits and blocks. Who can build the tallest tower? We’ll also retell the story of The Three Little Pigs, practise hammering different surfaces and make mini mud bricks.

Help your child prepare for their project

The new projects run for the second half of the Spring term.

Below are a list of ideas for each project, try one of these or something else project related. 

• Build a tower together, how tall can you make it?  

• Design your own house for your favourite toy 

• Using an old box can you make a house for your favourite toy 

• Go for a walk together look at the different buildings, who can find the tallest building? Who can find the smallest? Widest? 

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum which uses continuous play and exploration to learn. Adults plan both adult led and child initiated activities that enable the children to develop social skills, self confidence and independence in a range of contexts. 

At Ash Grange we encourage our children to get messy and have fun outside in all weathers therefore we ask that your child is dressed in appropriate clothing suitable for the various activities and all weathers.

Please remember in case of accidents and wet play all children need

• a spare set of clothes and pants which remain at school
• Wellies
• No laces on shoes, velcro fastenings are ideal for this age
• On swimming days we are ask Nursery 2 to wear easy to dress clothes such as jogging bottoms and top.
