A week in our outdoor area.

 We have been using our outdoor area a lot this week - we have practiced writing on the playground, making lists, fire fighting, basket ball, pouring and painting with the water, bouncing and bike riding.  We even made our very own den, but unfortunately so many of us wanted to go into it, it fell down!

Inside our classroom life has been super busy too!   This week we have been learning about measuring and comparing things of different sizes.   We drew around some of our friends and compared their heights to see who was the tallest. 

This Week In Nursery

 This week in Nursery we have been looking at signs of Autumn.   We have investigated leaves, conkers, acorns and other things from nature that show us the season is changing.   We have learned about hedgehogs and squirrels.   We have been very creative, making our own hedgehogs, creating art work with conkers and paint as well as using the colours that make us think about Autumn in our paintings.  

We have had a very busy week.

We are having a very busy time in Nursery.

 The children have settled into Nursery life well. They are beginning to follow our daily routines and are enjoying the different parts of our day.   They are starting to develop friendships with the other children, often looking looking out for their friends at the start of a session.  

Here are a few photographs of the children involved in the activities that form part of our Nursery day.

Celebrating Chinese New year in Nursery

We have had an exciting day learning about Chinese New Year.   We have made Dragon masks and paper lanterns as well as a dragon's head!    In our PE lesson we used the dragon's head for a dragon dance.   It was great fun!

Nursery in the Garden

The children had an exciting afternoon working in the garden with Dave.   He showed them how to plant bean seeds and how to put plants into containers.  When the plants start to grow the containers will be placed around school.    They brought the bean seeds back to the classroom so that they can look after them until they grow.
