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!

We didn’t let the rain dampen our spirits in Nursery today. The children were overjoyed to get outdoors and experience the elements, then end our day cuddled up with a hot chocolate drink to warm up and a story.

What joy and excitement we experienced this week as the children incidentally discovered a potato in our 3 YO planter. This led to lots more potato harvesting, counting of potatoes and washing and preparing them for snack. We cooked them and enjoyed them the next day with some cream cheese….Delicious!

Despite the rain, we had lots of fun outside today. The children explored fine motor skills and colour mixing as they painted in puddles on the bench. This held their interest for a long time.

What a lovely week we have had meeting and making friends with all of our new children in 3 Year Old Nursery. We are very proud of how our older children have supported new friends to settle in. Well done everyone!

What a wonderful week we have had welcoming back our 3 Year Old Nursery children this week. They have all grown and developed so much and we have loved having fun both indoors and out this week.
