Satrosphere

Our trip to Satrosphere was a great success this week. The children were so excited to look at all the exhibits and listen to the talks about dinosaurs and fossils. They had the chance to look at some real fossils too.

The children were very excited to see a real Tyrannosaurus’ tooth. They were then taken into the theatre area for a talk on fossils and how they came to be on earth.

 

They had the chance to answer questions and find out new information about dinosaurs too. The children were also involved in digging for their own fossils. Alongside this were exhibits relating to space which also were a bit hit with the children.

The children were really keen on the space station and the light up sand pit.

They were all very responsible during our trip, well done everyone.  

 

We have been making the most of the nice weather. The children have been working on their gross motor skills using hoops. We have been discussing what we could plant in the garden and have spoke about planting sunflowers, radishes and lettuce.

 

They have been very interested in creating a dinosaur world after our trip to Satrosphere. We have added Dinosaurs, bark and moss so far. As of next Wednesday we will be going to the woodies and the Tuesday  after will be wheeled toys in the playground. We will alternate this every week and the days we do this may change each week but we will keep you updated on the noticeboard in the nursery. Please remember to bring appropriate clothing and wellies for woodies days and helmets for wheeled toys. We often need parent helpers to go to the woodies so if you are available please write your name on the space provided on the noticeboard in nursery. Thank you, Have a lovely weekend everyone, hope this nice weather is here to stay.
