Westmount Day Nursery

Today in the water tray during the hot weather the children in sunshine ☀️ room have been mixing together yellow water, lemons 🍋, 🍋‍🟩, limes 🧊 ice cubes and mint leaves 🍃 .
The children had fun pouring the water 💦 into beakers and trying to find the ice cubes, lemons, limes and mint leaves in the coloured water.
Lots of fun keeping 😎 cool !!

Lucky for us, our nursery — and even the staff room — is fully air conditioned ☀️

With this week high temperatures, we’ll be taking extra steps to keep the children cool and comfortable throughout the day. Extra water drinks, ice play cold water play etc

Please can all children arrive wearing sun lotion and dressed in loose, cool clothing.

We completely understand if any parents would prefer to keep their child at home or arrange an earlier collection due to the heat and you getting home during the hot weather — just let us know.

Have a good evening and stay cool

The Rainbow Room children have been exploring clay.
They have been experimenting using a variety of tools to shape, mould and make marks in the clay.
We discussed how the clay felt at different stages of their work and what other tools we could use, to have the same or a different effect on the clay.

Today in the sunshine room the children have been practicing their scissor control .
During the activity the children were supported by the adult to learn how to use the scissors correctly and safely so they were able to cut out different materials for them to use in their gluing and sticking.

The children in the sunshine room have been interested in heuristics play this week using natural resources such as wooden rings, wooden stackers, pegs and corks.
Using their imagination and mathematical skills by looking at the different sized materials.

Pirate 🏴‍☠️ and Princess 👑 Day

The children dressed up today for our Pirate and Princess sponsorship Day for the Jersey Child Care Trust.

We had lots of fun themed activities for the children to explore.
There were gold coins for the pirates treasure in the sand, water and playdough areas. They discovered black, red, white and pink painting at the easel and wands, necklaces and princess brushes for the children to play with.

We would like to say a big thank you to Alice from the JCCT who came to visit us and did some singing and signing with the children they loved joining in with the signs and songs. 👸🏴‍☠️

We would also like to thank everyone for their very kind and generous donations

Today in the sunshine room the children have been exploring threading using their hand and eye coordination.
As they threaded the reels onto the lace they watched how they fell to the bottom.
Some of the children also counted how many they had on their reel.
Some children also had a go at threading the laces through the picture boards .

With the hot weather over the last few days the Rainbow Room children have been exploring lots of water play to help keep cool.
With added herbs and ice, the children have enjoyed using the water to pour, splash, paddle and mark make.
