Nursery children have been learning how to use a hammer and nails safely.

Once they had their safety glasses on they set to work…they used lots of skills to hold the nail safely in one hand, use the hammer with the other hand, then keep hammering until the nail was secure in the wood.

Over two weeks they added more nails, then selected ribbons to thread around the nails.

Through doing this, they have been developing strong arms, hands and wrists, fine motor skills, two channelled attention and learning to use equipment safely!
