This week in Nursery we have introduced our new topic 'People who help us'. 

The children have enjoyed role playing nurses and doctors in our new doctors-surgery role play area and have been busy learning about their roles. 

This week, the children have created their own police badges and we have discussed how the police help us in the community. 

This week in Nursery we have been reading and retelling the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood'. The children have enjoyed making 'get well soon' cards for Grandma, counting how many objects in Grandma's basket and using the props and puppets to sequence the events. Alongside this, the children went on a wellie walk to find the big bad wolf. They were very excited to discover Little Red Riding Hood's cape and the wolf hiding in the woods. 

This week in Nursery we have been reading Room on the Broom and talking about events in the story. We were very excited to find that the witch had left us magic ingredients to make a potion! The children then have been making their own potions using a selection of spooky objects. Alongside this, the children have been exploring pumpkins and using their senses to investigate them. 

This week the children have been busy settling into their new environment. They have enjoyed exploring all the different areas, both inside and outside. They have particularly enjoyed exploring the role-play area, mud kitchen, sandpit and painting in the creative area.

Well done to all the Nursery children for such a fantastic start!

This week in Nursery, we have been reading the story 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We have been learning about the lifecycle of a butterfly and have enjoyed observing these changes in our classroom. We were excited to see that the caterpillars are now inside a chrysalis, and we look forward to them becoming butterflies very soon!

In Nursery, we have introduced our new topic of 'The Secret Garden' for this half-term. We were excited to discover that our roleplay area had changed into a garden centre with a beanstalk! We have been reading lots of stories, including Jack and the Beanstalk and Jaspers Beanstalk. We have been learning about the life cycle of a bean and have planted our own. We are excited to observe how they change over time.
