Little dogs picked up from the street by Andy which are just perfect for the dolls houses and which are the best kind of present.
Foxes around the place. They are out and about day and night and I love seeing them. This one is a school fox, and was spotted by the children after lunch, enjoying the sunshine.
Finishing things. This is the nearly finished display for the wild things-I just need to get a child to do Max tomorrow and the two girls who painted the fish to stick eyes onto them. It is next to the bed I showed last week.
Blackbirds singing to me after work.
I do feel mainly better now thanks. Just the sore throat.
A child in my class has glandular fever so I am wondering if that is what I have.
On the shelf are a selection of train books-we have been looking at lots of transport stories and books this term and the train set is very popular! The books have been looked at a lot this week. There is a number line with detachable numbered trains-it carries on round the shelf, across the door(to the boiler room!) and onto the window.
This is a board showing all the nursery staff-arranged alphabetically on the main board-it seemed the easiest way as I don't like a hierarchical view of all of us. On the other board is an explanation sheet of everyone's roles.
Display three. The children are building in the block area and there are quotes of what they are saying. It shows their understanding and achievement, is good for conversation, self-esteem and re-visiting learning. It has the most beautiful double mounting you ever saw-though I say so myself! It is a bit of lucky chance that the colours are like building site warning tape! At the end is a group of photos of some tall buildings from around the world. Today Lilly talked about how she had seen one of the buildings(The Empire State Building) in 'Home Alone Two'.
