We love to be creative in nursery and there has been lots of wonderful learning this week! Creative Workshop: In our creative workshop we have been designing our own gingerbread people linked to our story of the week. We have been choosing our materials and sticking them down in different ways. We have also worked hard using scissors to snip and cut out our gingerbread man. Some children managed to cut right around the edge all by themselves! Playdough area We have gingerbread scented dough in our playdough area this week and there has been lots of talk about the scent. The children have been using our gingerbread man recipe book to create their own. They have learnt to shape the dough and then roll it flat with their rolling pin before cutting out different sized gingerbread people. We have added buttons this week and the children have been carefully pressing them into the dough and counting how many they had got. Such a lot of fun and learning! Mark Making area In the mark making area, we have been using our pens, pencils and crayons to decorate our own gingerbread people. We have been practising holding our pencils in the tripod grip and have chosen our own marks to add features. We are also working really hard on trying to write our names on our creations and we have been using our name cards to help us to practise and copy the letters. Painting area
In our painting area. we have been using cotton buds to make different marks to decorate our gingerbread men. We have also used them to paint our own creations, These are great for developing our fine motor skills as we make small controlled marks with them.
