InstagramOver the last couple of weeks we have watched our caterpillars grow, shed their exoskeletons, pupate and become chrysalides. This has given us the opportunity to learn so many wonderful new words and observe the changes closely. We have talked about symmetry and metamorphosis and learnt a new song ‘There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf.’ Today we were very excited to release our butterflies in the garden and watch them fly away. . #eyfs #education #earlyyears #earlyyearsideas #barnetearlyyearsalliance #keepingitreal #community #maintainednurseryschools #understandingtheworld #butterflylifecycle #nurserycommunity #eytagteam #lifecycleofabutterfly #caterpillars #wildlife @insectlore

InstagramWhile observing our caterpillars, we’ve been making our own caterpillars, drawing and painting butterflies and looking at pattern and symmetry. . #eyfs #education #earlyyears #earlyyearsideas #barnetearlyyearsalliance #keepingitreal #community #maintainednurseryschools #understandingtheworld #butterflylifecycle #nurserycommunity #eytagteam #lifecycleofabutterfly #caterpillars #wildlife #expressiveartanddesign #symmetry

InstagramAfter watching our butterflies and looking at symmetry, it has been evident in one child’s block play in the garden. As he constructed his ‘robot’ he carefully aligned each block, paying great attention to detail, focusing, making small adjustments. It was fascinating to observe as he made the robot symmetrical from each side. #eyfs #nursery #education #earlyyears #barnetearlyyearsalliance #eytagteam #themagicofchildhood #constructionplay #blockplayideas #theirplaytheirway #outdoorplay #eyfsoutdoors #looseparts #loosepartsplay #outdoorlooseparts #earlyyearsmaths #symmetry #symmetryinplay

InstagramThe swings - the swings are always in use and it’s fascinating to watch children use them in different ways. They help to develop so many things from hand and core strength to perseverance and patience as children wait for their turn as well as supporting children’s emotional regulation. #eyfs #nursery #earlyyearsoutdoors #keepingitreal #earlylearning #barnetearlyyearsalliance #outdoorplay #earlyyearsoutdoors #eytagteam #maintainednurseryschools #eyfsoutdoors #childrenscentre #physicaldevelopment #eyfsoutdoors #earlyyearsoutdoors #themagicofchildhood #theirplaytheirway #childledlearning #eytagteam #swings

InstagramOur new climbing wall has proved very popular. Watching the children challenging themselves, persevering, developing muscle strength, balance, coordination and flexibility as they problem solve and manage their own risk is always a joy to see. #eyfs #nursery #earlyyearsoutdoors #keepingitreal #earlylearning #barnetearlyyearsalliance #outdoorplay #earlyyearsoutdoors #eytagteam #maintainednurseryschools #eyfsoutdoors #childrenscentre #physicaldevelopment #eyfsoutdoors #earlyyearsoutdoors #themagicofchildhood #theirplaytheirway #childledlearning #eytagteam #climbing #riskyplay #riskyplayideas #adventureplay

InstagramWe’ve been talking about our families and sharing our family photographs with each other this week, drawing pictures of them, making them with play dough and giant portraits of them in the garden with chalk. We’ve also been talking about where we live, how many people live in our house and what number is on our front doors. This has been a really nice way to celebrate each other and the diverse families we come from, developing a sense of community and belonging as new friendships blossom. #eyfs #nursery #education #earlyyears #barnetearlyyearsalliance #eyfsoutdoors #maintainednurseryschool #eytagteam #nurserycommunity #community #newstarters #settlingin #eytagteam
