Nursery Learning 6.10.23

 

 

Important reminders 

• Thursday 12th October is school photo day. The individual photos will be taken during your child's nursery session. If you require a sibling photo, you must turn come to the school office between 7:45 and 8:45. If you miss this time you will be unable to have a sibling photo as the photographers work on a very tight schedule. 

• Please ensure everything that your child brings into nursery has a name label on it.

• Please remember to take your child's reading folder out of their bag and place it in the box when they come in on Thursdays. Reading books are changed with the children every Friday as part of our Bedtime Reading scheme.

• Evidence Me-Over the next month we will start sharing observations on our parent share app. Please do add your own videos and photos from home as parents can also share achievements. 

We have had another amazing week in Nursery. We have loved seeing the children grow in confidence, transitioning into the nursery with big smiles and becoming familiar with their environment.  Below you can see some of the activities we have been getting up to.

What brilliant pattern making from some of our children in the maths area. We have been exploring colours and look at how they can make patterns. It was great to see the children working independently on this after being shown what to do. 

The home corner got lots of use as usually this week. The children were cooking up a storm in their new restaurant and there were plenty of mouths to feed! Our key vocabulary this week was 'please' and 'thank you' which the children were encouraged to use in their play... 

'Please can I have...?

'Thank you for coming...'

'Can I take your order please?'

'Thank you for my delicious food.'

There was lots of fun in the water this week when we had a bubble explosion in our outdoor  area. The children loved exploring the water with the bubble in it, pouring them, seeing if they could make it travel down the guttering and even using the bubbles in our mud kitchen. 

Our two year olds are always keen to show us their skills and this week we were treated to hoop tricks and fast bikes! 

The outdoors was very popular this week as the sun was shining, which allowed the children to explore the resources. These panels are usually used to build tunnels but the children decided that they waned to make an obstacle course on the floor with them. This then turned into a game of 'the floor is lava'. 

Our snack area is always popular and this week the children loved making their own snack. We focused on the skill of spreading, using butter, jam and marmalade with a knife. 

The children loved the independence of being able to make their own snack. Look at these lovely, happy faces as they tuck into their scrumptious bagels.
