What an incredibly busy and exciting week we have had in Nursery!
Our story over the next two weeks is Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Our role play area has transformed into the Bears Cottage. The children have shown great imagination when in this area. We made our very own porridge. We started by pouring the milk into the bowl and mixing the oats. We then looked at how porridge was made! The children then cut their own fruit and put it into their porridge. They had a lot of different choices of fruit, jam and honey mmmmm!
We also made mud porridge in our mud kitchen for the worms.
Linking to the story, the children worked together to make big, medium and small towers to represent the 3 bears.
We were very lucky to have Mr Bailey in Nursery this week. We went into the hall and had a now, press, play experience. We all put headphones on and listened to the story of The Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks. Through the headphones we listened to instructions and pretended to be the characters from the stories. Mr Bailey also brought his iPads with exciting games linking to the stories.
We have also celebrated Chinese New Year and tasted some delicious Chinese food.
Well done Nursery, what a fabulous week we have had!
Thanks again for your continued support,
Mrs Cook
We have had another brilliant week in Nursery!
We have continued our learning all about The Three Little Pigs story. The children have created some wonderful work and have shown amazing teamwork tiger skills in The Three Little Pigs construction house. I am so proud of the children for their Three Little Pigs story retell. We listened to each other retelling the story on the big screen!
We have been looking at different house/ homes from around the world and houses/ homes from the past and comparing them to now.
This week our letter of the week is s, our number is 3, our colour is yellow and our shape is a square. The Nursery children have also thoroughly enjoyed exploring outdoors and showed great independence skills putting waterproofs and wellies on.
The children have been doing a number of different activities to strengthen their fine motor skills. Our favourite activity is dough disco!
A very popular area in Nursery this week has been the creative table. The children have shown amazing imagination when creating their own art work.
Next week we will begin our learning based on the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears!
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs Cook
As you can see by the pictures, Nursery have had a very busy and fun filled week!
The children have shown amazing teamwork tiger skills, working together indoors and outdoors.
We are continuing our learning on The Three Little Pigs. The children were very creative and made their own house for the pig out of junk modelling. They used a whole range of craft materials, scissors, glue and tape. They also pretended to be the wolf. They huffed and puffed to try and blow down different objects. We have also been colour mixing to make pink in order to paint the pigs.
In Maths, we have been learning all about the number 3 and how to represent the number 3 using different objects. We have also been matching and sorting objects into the correct colour.
Our sound of the week is a. The children have been using Fred Talk with sounds beginning with a… a-n-t ant. We have also been using different art resources to make the letter a.
To strengthen our fine motor skills, we have been doing lots of different activities including Write Dance. Mrs Cook told the story of The Three Little Pigs with different instructions and the children had to use big and small movements on the paper. A fun way to develop fine motor skills is threading Cheerio's onto spaghetti!
We went on a walk to look for signs of Winter. The children are trying very hard with their independence skills of putting wellies, coats and waterproofs on. If you could encourage this at home as well that would be fantastic.
A brilliant week Nursery superstars, well done!
Welcome back!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. The children were very excited to talk about what they got from Santa.
We have had a fun and very busy first week back. We welcomed our new Nursery friends and we have been showing them how to play in our Nursery.
Over the next 3 weeks our story focus is The Three Little Pigs. We have our very own construction site in Nursery where we have been working together to build our own houses. Great teamwork skills Nursery!
We have also been learning all about the letter m.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed singing Nursery rhymes. We sequenced the rhyme Humpty Dumpty.
We have had a big focus on Winter now that the weather is cold, brrrr! We went on a walk to look for signs of Winter and used hammers to smash the ice. We made different Winter pictures including a picture of us dressed for Winter.
We are trying very hard to put our coats, waterproofs and wellies on independently.
A brilliant week Nursery. Well done!
