  • The Tiny seed in Nursery

    Published 01/05/21, by Andy Mari

    This week in Nursery we have been continuing to think about our key question ‘How does your garden grow?’ and this week we have read the story ‘The Tiny Seed’. We have been learning all about how seeds grow, what they need to grow and we have even had a go at planting our own sunflowers. In maths we have been counting out seeds into our numicon shapes and we have also been getting creative by printing flowers using different coloured paints.

  • How does your garden grow?

    Published 15/04/21, by Andy Mari

    This week we have introduced the children to our key question ‘How does your garden grow?’ The children were really curious to see the giant beanstalk and giant feet in our role play on the first day of term. Lots of them guessed correctly that our focus story of this week is Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have been busy acting out the story in the role and using the puppets outside. They have also been making and describing their own beanstalks using different resources such as duplo, junk modelling and megablocks in the water tray. They have also been taking on the challenge to count out the correct number of magic beans. This has been tricky as the children have had to use their fine motor skills and mathematical knowledge.

It has been very exciting and we have even had the chance to hold them. We have been taking part in lots of chick activities. For example learning about the lifecycle of a chicken, we have made chicks using different creative resources and we have been counting out the correct number of chicks.

  • Winter in Nursery

    Published 18/01/21, by Andy Mari

    In Nursery the children have been busy learning all about Winter and thinking about how the weather changes. We have been exploring ice, thinking about how ice is made and how we can melt the ice. 

    The children in Nursery wanted to make a snowman, however, we have not had enough snow for this. We decided to make our own snowmen out of biscuits. We used digestive biscuits, lots of runny icing and marshmallows to help make our snowman faces. The children had lots of fun and they were delicious!

    The children in Nursery are becoming more familiar with routines in the classrooms. We have been exploring all areas such as sand, water and the mud kitchen in the outdoor areas. New additions this year have been a new reading hut , a sensory garden outside Acorn classroom, sensory corridors outside both classrooms and some new fish.
