Another month of remote learning.
We have enjoyed learning about people in our community who help us, how they help us and the equipment they use. The children have been very creative making lovely pictures, experimenting with using crayons, paints, chalks etc. They have explored patterns, discovered ways to help the earth, played co-operatively to achieve a goal, perfected tongue twisters and made something for someone special. We have also really enjoyed dancing with dough and joining in with a variety of songs and rhymes. Everyone had fun designing, planning and creating models with flair and imagination as part of our Education Works theme for the Getting Ready To Learn programme. Thank you for getting involved, your models are brillant!
Enjoy looking through the photos!
This month we have been very busy in nursery and at home learning, as part of our topic of Winter, about the importance of looking after birds. We made our own bird food and hung it outside in our gardens. It wasn’t long before the birds visited and started to enjoy it. We then used recyclable materials and made binoculars so we could watch the birds. Using our bird chart we learnt to identify and name a variety of birds. We also enjoyed exploring freezing and melting, had fun outside in the snow and created our very own shops!
We have been very busy preparing for Christmas. Have a look at our festive paintings and decorations.
We have had lots of fun this month learning about bears and we also really enjoyed the stories ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ and ‘We’re Going On A Bear Hunt’. We turned our role play area into the Three Bear’s Cottage and made porridge for our snack which was ‘just right’ just like Baby Bears! We came to Nursery dressed in brown for a day and had a big adventure when we went on our very own bear hunt. We even found a friendly cuddly bear! We also made wheaten bread, learnt about big, middle sized and small and lots more. Have a look to see all the fun we have had.
This month we having been learning all about Autumn. After reading the story of Clifford’s Big Leaf Pile we had fun brushing up the leaves in the Nursery garden, making our own leaf pile and then jumping in, listening to all the leaves crunching. We also carved out a pumpkin and mixed together red and yellow paint to make orange and then painted pictures of our pumpkin. For snack we made and enjoyed stewed apple and custard, it was yummy! Have a look at all photographs to see what else we have been up too.
We have been very busy in our first month of Nursery, making new friends, exploring new things and most importantly, having lots of fun!
We have been learning all about different people who help us in our community. We have also enjoyed finding out how we can stay healthy and look after our own bodies. We have had fun taking on the roles of a doctor, nurse and patient in our hospital, painting X-ray pictures, making lemon playdough and lots more!
This month we were very busy having fun exploring and investigating different materials and also learning about freezing and melting. We enjoyed finding out about different birds, making bird food to help look after them in the winter then watching them eat and enjoy it. We also loved making our own snow.
There has been lots of excitement this month preparing for Christmas. We have made our own salt dough decorations; making the dough, rolling it, cutting out Christmas shapes,cooking them, painting them and adding a little sparkle to finish them off! We have also made beautiful glittering stars to hang on our Christmas trees. With Christmas fast approaching we were practising wrapping presents; carefully using scissors to cut the paper and then wrap it around boxes. It was a little bit tricky holding the paper and sticking it down with sellotape but we enjoyed working together with our friends which made it whole lot easier! We then put the presents under our Christmas tree in Nursery. We also painted Christmas pictures, made model snowmen, sorted bows, cooked Christmas dinner in the home corner, made chimneys for Santa and lots more!
This month we printed firework pictures, talked about our houses, learnt about bears and lots more! One of the stories we really enjoyed was ‘Goldilocks & The Three Bears’. We had lots of fun retelling the story and acting it out in the home corner, making porridge which was just perfect for our snack and wheaten bread as well as making big, middle sized and small bears using play dough and painting pictures of bears.
