Partou Park Wood Day Nursery and Forest School, Bidston

The Badgers explored the animals whilst we heard all about David Attenborough and his very special 100th birthday.
The children loved finding the hidden animals in the book all about his long, fascinating life. 🦁🐧🐳🦍

This week is superhero week so we decided to set up a table with different items of clothing and accessories for the children to explore along with practicing putting things on for themselves. We also read a book to the children about superhero’s. The children then had an important task to take part in, they had to try save the animals that were trapped, this was a problem solving activity to use their hands to free the majority of animals helping to develop their grip. Tweezers were added to the tray so that the children could practice picking things up with a pincer grip, some children found this tricky, so through the help and support from the staff and encouragement the children were able to complete this. Great job everyone you are all superhero’s. 🥰

Today is world penguin day so the children in rabbits have been doing activities about penguins. The children have been developing their hand eye coordination skills using the hammers to break the ice to free the penguins. One child put the ice cube in their mouth and did the action of shivering as it was cold. The children had a go at making their own penguins out of play dough. 🐧🐧🐧

And the winners are..... Thank you for all your efforts with this years Easter Bonnet competition. Our winners were delighted with their prizes. 🥰

Happy Easter to all our families at Park Wood, we hope you all have an egg-cellent weekend 🐰🍫🥚

Please feel free to bring in an Easter bonnet for the competition.

Competition is running from today right up until Thursday 2nd where we will pick our winners from each age group.

Good luck everyone and we cant wait to see your creations.

The children in Badgers were learning to use scissors. The children used the scissors on the herb plants. What started out tricky soon became manageable and the children preserved and were able to cut the herbs their own way. ✂️

Remember tomorrow is world book day if your child would like to dress up and bring their favourite story in.

We are also hosting a book swap. Please bring any unwanted books that could be swapped for others to enjoy😁

In addition to the children dressing up on world book day we will also be hosting a children's book swap. Children can bring in an old book and swap for another one that takes their fancy. Please bring in any unwanted books and let us find new homes for them.🥰
