Our Zooming Balloon Rocket

Posted on March 4, 2013 by clarencehousenursery

While looking through Angie’s big activity book we saw a science project on how to make a Zooming Balloon Rocket.
We had to measure the string and work as a team to assemble different parts of the rocket. Then we all took turns to make it blast off!!!!

Here is our wee Maud doing some sponge painting in the room for children under 2.
Painting is a popular experience for this age group as they enjoy exploring the texture and colours (also taste sometimes!).

MUSIC 2013 050
This was Jack’s idea. He found a straw and was blowing paint with it. Melanie challenged the children by asking what they thought would happen if she added some washing up liquid. Hey!!! we made bubbles.

Maggie Plays the Violin

Maggie Plays the Violin

During our last learning plan the children got the opportunity to explore some “real” musical instruments like the one that Maggie is playing so expertly! We want to say a big THANK YOU to all the parents who came in to spend time in the nursery helping to enrich the children’s experience by playing their instruments etc., – Christina, Jim  (and Jim’s band mate), Iain, Rachel, Graham and not forgetting Annie our former pupil. If we have forgotten anyone – sorry!

Monster Music

Today some of us went to see the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. They call it Monster Music because it is so big and so loud.

This is what we did (photo) when we got back. We made our own “monster music” by playing all the percussion instruments!
We have also made our own instruments with yoghurt pots and dried pulses, and we are learning to count out the rythm of our names.
