In the story there are jammy handprints everywhere! If you have some paint in your house you could try doing some colour mixing using your hands!

Let's get arty today!
I've been looking at the artist Denis Wojtkiewicz. He produces some very detailed work using slices of fruit. Today you could try to do the same - slice up an apple or an orange or something a bit more exotic if you have it and spend some time looking really closely at it. Think about what shapes and colours you can see. See if you can carefully draw what you see. Here's a picture of the artist and some examples of his work. Don't forget to send me some pictures!

Let's get creative! If you have some vegetables in your cupboard, ask a grown-up to help you cut them in half. Did you know that you can use vegetables for printing? I wonder what shapes you can make with each vegetable? Can you make a picture? (if you don't have paint in your house, try colouring on the cut vegetable with pen then making a print).
Remember to send us your finished pictures!

How many of the vegetables can you name in the story of 'Olivers Vegetables'?

Tasting Fruit
In Nursery today were going to take part in a smell and taste investigation. We were going to smell some fruits with our eyes closed. You could always use a scarf as a blindfold. These are the fruits we were going to use (apple, banana, lemon, orange). It would be lovely if you could try this at home (if you don’t have these fruit don’t worry you can use any fruit/food you have available). Could your child recognise any of the fruits from how they smell? Then let your child try each fruit one at a time- could they recognise them from how they taste. I hope you have fun!!
Wednesday 6th January
Wednesday in Nursery means singing and dancing!
I've put our favourite tumble tots songs on as well as 5 currant buns. Have fun!
