This week at Nursery, we continued to think about ourselves as we get to know one another, by focusing on the people in our lives who are special to us. Throughout the week, we joined in with lots of different learning experiences that helped us to share who is important to each of us. We have also continued to settle into our Nursery routines and explore everything on offer to us at Nursery.

Family Photos

Thank you for sharing your beautiful family photographs with us on Tapestry. It was wonderful to see the children beam with pride as we looked at them as a group. The photographs inspired the children to talk about their home experiences and name the people who mean the most to them.

Once we had shared our family photographs, we put them on display in our home corner. This encouraged us to talk about our special people and represent our home experiences within our play. Some of us were inspired to talk about the foods we eat at home as we enjoyed cooking in the home corner.

Making Friends

We have enjoyed playing together and thinking about who our friends are this week. We were all spotted having a wonderful time together exploring different ways to play! We spent time talking about friends and friendships, which helped us to think about who we enjoy playing with at Nursery, leading to lots of talk about who our friends are when exploring provision.

Showing Kindness

Our big question for this half-term is, ‘How can I show kindness to my friends?’. We celebrated where we showed kindness to one another by talking about it together. We were spotted showing kindness this week!

Creating Art Together

We were eager to join in with some collaborative mark-making on large paper this week! We all showed careful concentration as we experimented with creating different marks on our paper. We used lots of lovely language as we talked about our drawings. We represented things that are important to us within our drawings, which included ourselves, sunshines, spiders, cats and the Hulk!

We have had such a busy week at Nursery this week and we have all really enjoyed getting to know each other better by learning about the people who are special to us!
