This week we have been practising our clever counting using festive objects!

This week we have been learning all about the number 2 and how it can be represented in different ways.

This week we have really felt the cold and in Nursery, we have spent lots of time talking about what we need to wear in the cold weather to keep warm. The children were eager to explore the ice set up in the mud kitchen this week, making comments on how it felt, what it looked like and where it came from.

Today Nursery joined the Reception classes and Mrs Scott in the hall to lay our poppy for Remembrance Day. The children then had a go at making loose part poppies as we talked about why we celebrate Remembrance Day.

This week the children have been very excited by Bonfire Night and fireworks. This has led to lots of fun opportunities to explore this further. We have learnt about sound and colour, developed our physical, listening and creative skills.

What a joyful afternoon we had spent with families in Nursery this afternoon celebrating and experiencing Diwali.

High levels of engagement whilst developing fine motor skills and most importantly learning to persevere in Nursery this week.

This week we read the book Leaf Man to inspire the children to create their own leaf characters using loose parts. Take a look at the fabulous pieces of artwork they created!

The children have become engrossed in rolling Conkers in our outdoor area this week. This fascination has led to creative play as we combined conkers, guttering and paint to create a beautiful piece of Autumn artwork.

This week we began our snack preparation. We learnt new vocabulary and developed our physical skills by learning how to use a knife to spread butter onto our slice of bread. Well done everyone!
