Guest Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi all! We are nearly there! I just wanted to know what everybody was doing in their nurseries during the last week of term. Any specific activities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 we have a graduation party planned for this week with a magician/balloon modeller coming in.Our first time with an entertainer, but I have seent his chap loads of times and he's wonderful. We don't close for summer, we run a holiday club and as I am WAY behind with all my BA (Hons) essays, due to illness, i have to go like the clappers to get them finished in the next three weeks!! oh my aching head! TBH, I am feeling completely worn out and frazzled, turns to tears a lot at home, need to get this work finished,as I am signed up for EYPS this autumn too.Feel like giving up, but can't...............have come too far to quit now!

Guest Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Well I've turned out my beautiful basket of very exotic shells, all shapes and sizes. There's a big piece of shimmery material too and I usually put them in the tuff spot for the children to explore.... Also, have you seen this australian website? http://www.playbasedlearning.com.au/ They've got an idea on their site for making permanent sandcastles using cornflour and something called 'alum' which I think I can possibly get in Sainsbury's. Anyone else bought it before? I really love that website! It quite makes me wish I wasn't leaving on the last day of term. Where am I going to try out all their fab ideas????

Guest Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 We have everyone staying and trying out cooked lunch or packed lunch in the hall on Tuesday (we usually have packed lunch in nursery) Party day on Thursday with a magician! In between I have a shed to empty and clean and organise (a huge brick built one) and three areas to sort and empty ready for the decorators!!!!!!! Roll on FRiday is all I can say..................... Then I can get on with my research project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O yes the excitement never ends!!!

HoneyPancakes Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm not nursery but have 3 minded children moving up from Nursery to Reception and having 'PARTY' on Wednesday! Dress up as they like (couldn't decide on theme), filling the sand tray with strawberry jelly and plastic dinosaurs (I can do a bit more mess than you can I expect), Balloons and streamers, Party Games, Noisy Music, Party Food for lunch - sausages, sandwiches, hommus and crudities, little cakes and orange jelly, juice! Also celebrating Birthdays for those having theirs in the Hols. Singing the 'Moving Up' song someone kindly put on here a few weeks back. Then we're going to do it all again for the After School children. Feeling sick already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spiral Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 We're washing and claening everything with the kids, they love it - we have a car wash, resturant washing up area and small world cleaning area. I completely empathise with Narnia, I'm behind too and YOU CAN'T GIVE UP! You've come too far and just need a day or two off maybe to stay at home, rest and then go back with fresh thoughts? I had to do that last term and it worked a treat, Spiral x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
