This week in Nursery, we have been learning all about firefighters and how they help the community. We have been making fire pictures, retelling stories using props, putting out fires using spray bottles and we have created out own firefighter badges.
This week in nursery we have introduced the children to our new topic 'People who help us'. We kicked off our week learning about doctors and the very important jobs that they do. The children were very excited to see that our role play area had turned into a doctor’s surgery over the holidays. The children have been busy booking doctor’s appointments, writing prescriptions and using the stethoscopes and bandages.
Christmas has arrived in Nursery bringing our elves Pickles and Twinkle Toes! We have been exploring our new role play area, which has turned into Santa's workshop. We have been mark making letters to Santa, wrapping presents and using our busy fingers to decorate the tree. We are excited to see where elves might appear next week!
This week in Nursery we were joined by our parents for Stay and Play. We were very excited to show our grown-ups the nursery environment and all the things that we do at school.
Thank you to all the parents for coming and your continued support. We had a great time!
This week in Nursery we have been learning about the celebration of Diwali.
We have been talking about Hinduism and how Diwali is celebrated.
We took part in different activities, these included learning the story of Rama and Sita, making Diya lamps, drawing Mehndi hand patterns and we created colourful Rangoli patterns on the playground.
This week in nursery we have been thinking about Harvest time. We have been reading stories and have been discussing where fruit and vegetables come from. We went for a walk to find an apple tree. We picked 18 apples! The children decided that they would like to make an apple crumble. We carefully followed the recipe, and the crumble was delicious!
This week we have been reading 'Super Duper you'. We have been thinking about how we are all unique and special.
We have been painting self-portraits, making our families using natural resources, and we have been learning to recognise the letters in our names.
In Nursery we are all special!
Settling in!
This has been our first full week in Nursery, and we have been very busy exploring all of the areas. The children have been getting to know each other and making new friends.
This week in Nursery we were very excited to discover that our caterpillars have changed into butterflies! We have been watching them over time and learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. We used magnifying glasses to observe their wings and the patterns that they have. We discussed where butterflies live and then took them into the garden to be released. The children were very excited to watch them fly away!
This week in Nursery we have introduced our new topic of 'The Seaside'. We have been reading a variety of information books and stories about the seaside. The children have been sharing their experiences about the seaside and when they have been on holiday. We have discussed what animals live in the sea. We have explored our new Beach Cafe in the role play area and have created our own beach pictures.
This week we have started our new topic of 'The Secret Garden'. The children have been busy getting the nursery garden ready for planting. We have also been exploring our new roleplay area which has changed into a garden centre. To introduce our topic, we have been reading the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and have created our own beanstalks from this. We look forward to planting some seeds this half term and observing how they change.
This week in Nursery we have had a delivery of some special eggs! This has been a very exciting time for the Nursery children.
We put the eggs into an incubator, and we have been keeping a diary of how the eggs have changed.
On Tuesday our first chick hatched out of an egg. We watched the chick become nice and fluffy and we were able to move it into a brooder box, so we were able to watch them more closely.
As the week went on all ten eggs hatched! We now have 4 girls and 6 boys.
We are very excited to see how they will change over the coming week.
