What have we been up to in Nursery

This week we have completed our journey through 'Ten Town' and therefore there have been many number activities on offer.

This little boy is sorting numbers........

...........and these boys are weighing and balancing numbers!

We've been making numbers with playdough........

.........and a washing line with Ten Town vests to hang in order! (not sure they're in the right order yet!!)

Looks like the 'Theiving three' vest is dry!

This little girl is writing numbers 0-10 with help from Mr England (he is from Sutton College and will be with us each Friday morning for work experience to support his applications to universities to study teaching).

On 'Eric Eight's' day, we had some sheets to cut..........

........and a race track shaped (sort of) in the shape of a number 8!

As Eric Eight is a snowman, we made snowmen sweets from marsh mallows, chocolate buttons, icing and strawberry laces!

These children are aiming 'snowballs' through a hoop! (I love the tenous links!!)

..........and we had coconut in the water tray because it looks like snow!!!

Onto Ncola Nine bows and this little girl sticks 9 bows onto a picture of Nicola (no tenuous link required there!)

After a busy morning, it's quiet time with a book!

Oh and by the way - take a guess where this little girl has been (I'll give you a clue, it's not Ten Town!!)

What have we been up to in Nursery?

As Autumn is well and truly here, we went for a walk and looked at the trees and leaves. It took fourteen children to hug this tree!

........and then we did some bark rubbing of the same tree.

It was a very sunny day!!!

The children really enjoyed jumping in, and kicking the leaves!

We then settled on ground sheets to draw the trees we could see around us.

This little girl is drawing the leaves falling off the trees - brilliant!

Later in the week we celebrated both Diwali and Bonfire night. The children made colourful coconut sweets.........

.......and there was lots of firework pictures to be created!

This little girl has drawn her fireworks with wax crayon and is now painting over them with black paint to make it look like night time! (clever eh!!)

......and these children are simply enjoying mixing all the pretty colour paints together whilst making the noises of the fireworks!!

This little girl is using the chalks to create a bonfire night picture......

.....and this little girl is making a sparkler biscuit dipping it first in hotwater (to melt the chocolate) before stiring it in the sugar strands! Yum yum!!

We had beautiful music playing in the Nursery, and these two enjoyed a little dance!

On Monday we started our journey through 'Ten Town'. We have made 'King One' crowns!........

.....and on 'Theiving Three' day we made jam tarts. After making real ones, the children then made some using playdough which they placed in the pretend oven! They had a great time.

There was also flour in the tray for the children to experiment with!! (still wearing their crowns notice!!)

This little girl isn't wearing her crown, but she's wearing most of the flour!!

On Friday we met Fiona Five who is a very healthy lady because she does lots of exercise and eats healthy food, so we made a fruit salad to eat at snack time!

....and finally, we had a little visitor in the Nursery this week!

How cute is he!!

What have we been up to in Nursery?

Even though it poured with rain, we were not going to have our spirits dampened and, in true Whitehouse Common style, we soldiered on with our Bikeathon. Here are some pictures of the morning and afternoon children pedalling and scooting to raise money for our new role play sheds that will be erected in the Nursery playground.

.........and we were off.......

Mom's helped out as well!

In the afternoon, we used the Nursery playground as there were less children, but the same amount of effort went into it!

Well done to all the children. The sponsor money has come in thick and fast and so far we have raised just over £300. What a fantastic effort.

Back inside the Nursery, we had spent the week learning about Elmer the Elephant to start our topic on colours. The children all helped to decorate a gigantic Elmer to display on the wall.

Isn't he wonderful!

Week beginning 13th September

Where did the Summer holidays go? Come to think of it, where did the sun go?!!

We are two weeks into the new year and our new children have settled well. We have been busy learning new routines and getting to know each other. Here are a few pictures of some of the children enjoying Nursery.
