A Spooky Week in Nursery

The children in Nursery have had a Halloween themed week. They investigated the textures, colours, and smells of real pumpkins, scooping out seeds, comparing sizes, and even helping with gentle carving. The children have been practicing their mark making on the spooky wall and used crayons to draw pumpkins. They have enjoyed making skeletons using art straws. In our construction area, children used blocks and loose parts to build spooky houses and castles. Using seeds and creepy creatures, cauldrons, and spooky-themed containers, children practiced scooping, pouring, and measuring. With baking soda, vinegar, and a dash of magic, children created bubbling cauldrons and predicted what might happen next. They finished it off with a ‘ghost hunt’ and tongue painting bats!
