Focus play this week:

This week we have continued to focus on Owls. We have followed on from our 105 nursery book: Owl babies with wow! said the owl. We have been reinforcing our learning of owls by using different mediums to mark owls in the art area, using owl pictures for reference and creating homes for the owls using blocks and building materials.

Book of the week:

This week the children have been listening to the book WOW! said the Owl. The children have enjoyed repeating the words in the story and exploring colours within the activities. Within our key groups the children have been discussing colours and where we see the colours in and outside of nursery. The children have enjoyed using the owl teddies during their play and at story time.

Rhymes of the week:

This week during group time, the children have been revisting our previous nursery rhymes: Head, shoulders, knees and toes; little peter rabbit; wheels on the bus; i'm a litle teapot; row row row your boat and itsy bitsy spider.

Stay & Play:

We would like to thank all the paents and carrers who attended our Communication, Language and literacy Stay and Play this week. The children loved introducing friends to their parents, as well as the oys they love and books they've read. We hope you enjoyed listening to our book of the week and were able to continue talking out the book at home with your child. 

Our learning fun this week:

Making Poppy wreaths:

This week the children have been getting messy making hand prints, using paint to create our special poppy wreaths for our school display. Please look out for our nursery wreath on your way to school.

Outdoor fun:

The children had fun making big art in the garden. They learned how to change powder paint into liquid paints by adding water. The children used brooms as giant paintbrushes to mix the paint coulours and create large marks, including circles, names and faces. We then finished our fun by jumping in paint puddles with our wellington boots.

Maths fun:

This week the children have been attempting to subitise and count in order starting from zero. We have been counting conkers and comparing contents of trays to identify if the quantity is the same, higher or lower than the other tray.
