Children in Rainbow Room at St Werburgh’s Park Nursery School have been very busy celebrating World Nursery Rhyme Week. Each day, they learned a different nursery rhyme, enjoying lots of opportunities to sing, move and join in with the actions. Learning the actions alongside the songs helped to keep children engaged and supported their communication and language development as they practised new words and rhythms.
Some of the favourite nursery rhymes were Row, Row, Row Your Boat and Hickory Dickory Dock. The children enjoyed bringing the rhymes to life through dancing, games and group singing, building confidence and encouraging positive social interactions with their friends.
Alongside their nursery rhyme activities, the children have been learning about Diwali. They worked together to decorate a large rangoli pattern, using their fine motor skills to carefully stick on small stars and pinch and sprinkle glitter. The children showed great concentration and creativity as they added their own special touches to the display.
The celebrations continued as the children made beautiful Diwali lamps from paper plates. It has been a wonderful week of singing, creating and learning. Well done, everyone in Rainbow Room!
