Welcome to Nursery School

The children all enjoy our time outside at the beginning of the day...

running up the hill,

 jumping in the leaves,

 

 digging in the sand box,  

 

 climbing on the rocks,

 

 driving trucks,

 

 jumping,

 

 throwing leaves.

 

 "The excavator is my favourite toy."

 

Using fine motor skills.

We used our pinching fingers to pick up the cornmeal

 

 

 

Adding a stem.

 

 

 

 "This is giving me a hard time." said this child.
 

Activities that require children to use their forefinger, middle finger and thumb, strengthen 

         the muscles required to hold a pencil in a three finger pincer grip. Clipping clothes pegs onto
         a cup is another activity that strengthens these muscles.

Building  towers with the pegs takes a lot of concentration.
