To create a beautiful crown we counted out and then glued 3 jewels on to the card. To make the fringe we used our fine motor skills to snip, snip, snip.

We went to see the real Santa! He has reindeer and elves and he gave us a present. We really enjoyed our trip, so much so some of the children fell asleep on the way home - this made our teachers laugh.
Books help us learn so many things...

We use maths stories to help us understand how to use maths in the real world . There is so much to learn when you're putting up your Christmas tree!

We have been designing our own Nursery Rhyme Land pictures by thinking about what lines to draw. We chose what we wanted to draw to create these magical backgrounds for our characters to walk through. We're so proud of how much we are learning in Nursery!

At school we use symbols to help us play games. We call them success strips. Can you work out how to play the game?

Do you know that we can make music for Nursery Rhymes? This is one of our favourites - do you know which one it is? If you want to make these sounds, say the rhyme and play the instruments. Come in to class for a demonstration if you want!

What sounds can you hear all around? We are becoming experts at listening for sounds and finding where they are coming from. Can you identify the sounds before we do?

We loved it when one of the junior children came to read us a story. Each Peach Pear Plum is our favourite book because it has lots and lots of characters! .

What an amazing day we have had celebrating and raising funds for Children in Need. We have had a spotty day and a moving day. Look at some of the exciting things we have been doing...

We watched a short animation in class explaining why we wear poppies and then sat together as a class listening to the last post and looking at a field of poppies. All of the children were very respectful as they sat quietly thinking about the people they love.
Who is visiting our class today?

There have been lots of different characters appearing in our class over the last week. Here's one of them. Which book do you think we are learning about?

Have you met the COLOUR MONSTER? His feelings get very mixed up and we have been learning how to help him name the feelings and recognise them. How are you feeling? Are you yellow or red or blue?

Twinkle twinkle shining bright, see our fireworks light up the night.
Look at the joy on our faces and our friends faces as we created a background for our firework pre-writing pictures.
Date: 13th Nov 2019 @ 9:42pm
What words do you think of when you think of fireworks? We imitated the sounds and movements of fireworks along with a firework display we watched on the whiteboard. We thought of words like
POP BANG SIZZLE CRACKLE
Watch this display and create your own dance

We have been learning abut shapes and ways to use them to create pictures as part of our Bonfire week celebrations. We used shapes from the maths area, we printed shape rockets and build a huge one in our outdoor construction area. Look at our amazing work. Everyone ready for blast off!

After collecting lots of Autumn objects we sorted them into groups and talked about how many were in the groups. There were only a few sticks but lots of leaves.

When you've had another busy week in Nursery, what better way to relax than by cooking soup with fresh harvest vegetables. We touched and smelt and tasted some of the raw vegetables before snapping and slicing and cooking them. Some of us loved it! Some of us weren't so sure 
We can also rehearse our cooking in the home corner. "Do you want some sweetcorn soup?"

Here is a link to the Harvest Festival song we sang in Nursery. Be careful though! Once you start singing it you just can't stop.

We like to explore outdoors and find ways to use the leaves that fall in the outside area. Wouldn't you like to make leaf angels, make piles and then throw them leaves up and catch them as they fall? Learning is such fun!

We thought you might like to see us playing in our beautiful Nursery. It's a little bit nervy starting at Nursery but we're all settled in and ready and raring to begin our learning journey together...

Nursery challenges happen each week and children have to complete 3 challenges in different areas oer the week. This week children had a painting, writing and ICT challenge. At the end of the week the children with 3 buttons had a fantastic treat after finishing the challenges. They got to play with some superhero figures borrowed from Mrs Iqbal's house and some chose the unicorn and fairy colouring sheets. I wonder what the challenges will be next week...?
Spinderella's and Tiddler's Dinosaur Eggs have hatched!!!
Date: 16th Jun 2019 @ 8:54pm
Last week we discovered some Dinosaur Eggs in our classroom. We put the eggs in water and waited until they hatched. At first there was a small crack but slowly the crack got bigger until we could see the dinosaurs. Tiddler's dinosaur was green and Spinderella's was orange and yellow. From next week each dinosaur will sit with someone at group time for the day and be responsible for it. How exciting!!

On Friday 14th June we joined in with 'Healthy Lifestyles Day' in Nursery. In the morning we had a Nutritionist called Jack who came from Manchester Fayre and talked about healthy foods and the Eatwell Plate. He then asked Mrs Iqbal to help him make some 'Homous.' We tried it with rice cakes, sugar snap peas and carrots. In the afternoon we had a visit from a dental hygienist who talked about why it is important to clean our teeth every morning and evening. She showed us some photos that had good and bad teeth and shared some great advice; brush your teeth twice a day, go to the dentist for a regular check up and no sugary foods before your tea!

During this half term we were delivered some tiny caterpillars. We looked after the caterpillars and watched them turn in to cocoons and then in to beautiful butterflies. We said goodbye to them and let them free in the garden.

Did you know about Nursery challenges?
Each week children are given three challenges in various areas around the classroom that they must complete independently. When each challenge is completed the children place a coloured button on their photo. When three buttons are placed the children get a treat on Friday afternoons. This week the treat children chose was to make some chocolate krispy nests. Have a look at the 'My Learning at home' sheet which gives you details of what will be provided in each area in the nursery.
