Under Sea fun...

User Rating:  / 1

Hi All,

We have all been very busy last week trying to decororate our role play and display boards for our new theme... 'Commotion in in the Ocean'. We have made a phonics whale. We worked as a team to stamp on the letters from the alphabet. We tried to find letters we recognised too.  We made some beautiful shells and starfish using some left over bubble wrap. Our wibbly wobbly jelly fish dangle abouve our heads in the roleplay. We explored 2D shapes to create our own sparkly sea creatures, Our undersea divers on our display look very familiar and finally we had time look at all our fabulous homework posters and read some of the books too.

We enjoyed finding out about Chinese New Year Cebrations in Nursery last week. We tried lots of new activities. Many of us were very brave and tasted some Chinese food. The prawn crackers were our favourites and we decided to have some for our snack time too. We enjoyed dressing up and visitingthe Chinese restaurant role play, some of us even practised holding chopsticks. We were busy in our blue tray cooking with Tia Ten. We also enjoyed dancing and making lots of beautiful crafts. Our finger print blossom trees looked so beautiful.

Hi All,

Some lovely photos showing activitites the children have enjoyed in our transport theme. We particularilly loved the space travel and rockets. The small world moon base was very popular.We enjoyed making all different crafts that moved including our straw space shuttles and our rocking ships. The children have been working hard on name writing and mark making.. their name rockets look fabulous.

The ice and snow brought extra exciment to our Nursery day. Some of us were brave enough to hold the cold ice in our hands and explore how it melted in the sun. 

We really enjoyed using the hammer to make some beautiful prints in one of our forest schools activity.

Happy New Year Everyone,

We thought we would pop on a few photos from our Christmas Party at the end of the Term for you to enjoy today.

We loved it when Father Christmas suprised us first thing and brought us all a lovely gift. We were all very brave and went to collect our present from him. He made lots of jokes and made us laugh.

We played lots of fun games; Pass the Parcel, Musical statues and the Marshmallow game. It was fun and we won lots of prizes.

We enjoyed some delicious Christmas snacks together.

At the end of our day we had fun showing our dance moves at the PTA Christmas disco.

Materials...

Hi All,

we have really enjoyed the Three Little Pigs story last week. we read it so many times we could retell lots of the story on our own. We had a really fun lesson on materials on Wednesday we used our sense of touch to sort a variety of objects in to hard and soft. We tried to think of other word to describe the materials too. Then we tried building the Three Pigs houses out of straw, sticks and bricks. We tried to blow them down our selves and then Mrs Edmunds Bg Bad Wolf Hair dryer had a go! It made us laugh when the straw and sticks blew down.

AND SO MUCH MORE.....

We have also been busy outdoors counting birdlife in our school grounds, makng nests and bird feeders.

Colours, Shapes and Patterns in Nursery

User Rating:  / 2

We had a great time in our last two weeks of Atumn 1 finding out about colours, patterns and shapes with Elmer the Elephant and the Mr Men and Little Misses. We made colourful Elmers from an empty milk carton. Hunted for colours around our Nursery and outside. We made beautiful shape Elmers using the shape stamps and really enjoyed reading lots of Mr Men books and matching them by colour and shape. We made our own. We think they are fabulous. We were brillant at hunting for patterns and trying to copy them on Elephant masks and our whiteboards.

All About Me!

The children enjoyed finding out about themselves and their nursery friends for our All About Me topic over the past two weeks. The familiy photos were great motivators for our communication and language skills. We have been having fun doing some tasks Mums and Dads do about the house in our role plays. We really enjoyed thinking about our special numbers and how old we were. We explored our senses too, and thought of ways to keep our bodies healthy... the fruit kebabs were a real hit!

We have also been enjoying our new seating area for forest schools and new mud kitchen. we created some lovely Autumn tree pictures using feathers, sticks and leaves for our paint brushes.

Dear All,

We had a great time doing Gruffalo activities last week inside and outside. Our favourites where making Gruffalo playdough models, cooking Gruffalo Crumble (blueberries for purple prickles), going on a Gruffalo hunt, making Gruffalo tea in the mud kitchen and creating our own Gruffalo's from clay and conkers. Hot chocolate in the outdoor classroom was a great end of week treat!

Mums, Dads, Grans and Grandpa's also joined us for Gruffalo fun. Thanks for visiting us in our Nursery.

The children loved it!

We also enjoyed sharing our favourite storybook from home and reading them with all our friends.
