pre-schooler - my day
 

When I come to nursery I like to bring in a book from home which I will read for a while with some of my friends. Once I am settled I like to do some glueing or painting in the messy room and maybe play in the sand pit or the water tray. By 9.15 am all of my friends are here and I’ll go through to the garden room and play on the computer. The snack table opens at 9.30 ish, sometimes I will have snack first but sometimes I will wait if I am not hungry or if I am enjoying what I am doing. Once I’ve had snack I’ll have a look round the room and see what activities are out in the rainbow room (messy), we can choose from painting, gluing, play dough, water tray, gluck as well as many activities the staff have planned to do with things we’ve been talking about or asking about like volcanoes, sharks, football, hospitals.
We can also sit in the dream room where we can read books, draw pictures or write words. In the garden room we can have jigsaw puzzles, construction toys, small world, dressing up, house corner, computer (we love the cbeebies website). We also have lots of matching, sorting and counting activities that help me with numeracy. Sometimes we’ll all go out in the garden but other times only a few of us will go out, here we can run around, plant things, dig, climb or take part in group activities doing art, findings things, exploring different areas. Around 11.30 we tidy up and all get together for a story and a chat, then have lunch which is always very tasty.
After lunch we all clean our teeth, then have a wee sit down for stories and a rest, some people have a sleep but I don’t. We then get to choose what we want to do again and will carry on with things we did in the morning or sometimes start new things because we found something in the garden or noticed something in a book. Snack table opens again at 3.00 pm and again I can decide when I want it although it closes at 4.00 pm. Then we carry on playing till my mummy or daddy picks me up.
