Nursery Learning 3.3.25

 We have had a lovely week and have been enjoying the brighter weather Spring is bringing us! The children have been reading 'The Runaway Pancake' and have had the opportunity to make and taste pancakes this week.

Please check on Evidence Me for information on our Mother's Day brunch on the 26th March. There is a sign up sheet online and there is a sign up sheet on the door in Nursery too. 

 Important Information 

Evidence Me- Please check this as we have recently posted information on Parent meetings and a Mother's Day brunch.

Nappies and wipes - If your child is in nappies and requires changing in Nursery please bring nappies and also a pack of wipes. You can bring in a pack and leave this here if you would prefer to do this. 

Labels - Please label all items, it really helps any lost items to return to their owners! Please also encourage the children to independently try and put on their coats and hats etc at home, staff will always help if needed but we always encourage independence. 

Havering Children's Centre- The Havering Children's Centre are currently trying to ensure that all families with children under 5 years of age are registered with their local children's centre. We encourage you to register your child as this will help with their development and wellbeing. 

                                                                           

                                                                        Art Area

The children have started to explore colour mixing. They have particularly enjoyed painting their hands with two different colours and rubbing them together to mix the paint. They have then been using their new colours to paint their own pictures with. 

                                            " Wow, I made a new one!" Alara 

                                                                      Snack

As our focus story was 'The Runaway Pancake' we made some delicious pancakes together this week. They helped to mix the ingredients together and watched as the pancakes were tossed into the air! The children selected from fruit toppings or honey, they were very popular snacks.

"I have lots of blueberries on mine!" Evandy

The children then enjoyed exploring our story tuff tray later to re-create pancake making. They added the different toppings and practiced flipping their own pancakes in the pans! 

 

                                                          Outdoor Play

The children have been enjoying the warmer weather and have had a great time outside this week. They particularly enjoyed using sponges to wash the bowls and the tuff tray, they had to carefully squeeze and pour which is great for fine motor development. 

We also enjoyed exploring daffodils in the outdoor tuff tray. The children were able to mix their powder paint on a large scale outside to create their own pictures.

                                                      World Book Day 

Stories are so important for listening and language development and we love celebrating reading in Nursery. Thank you to the parents and carers who were able to celebrate world book day with us. The children made some great story characters and enjoyed listening to their stories with their teddies.

Year Reception: What We Are Learning 

Reception have been working really hard this week. Our focus was Whatever Next!

Here is what we have been up to: We have learned the history of space travel, discussed planets and did a science experiment where we made our own space rocket using vinegar and bicarbonate of soda!

The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc this week. The children have all been assessed and are now working in groups based on this. In Literacy, we wrote about travelling to space in a rocket. We then drew our rocket and described it using words such as red, loud and big.  Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children and work on set 1 sounds as well as word time words (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc).

In Maths this week the children have been looking at different ways to build 9 and 10. We counted and collected a range of items to show we know how to make 10. We also had parents stay and learn about maths. We had the opportunity to show our adults how great we are at maths. We enjoyed activities in the classroom about maths too!

World Book Day!

This week we also celebrated World Book Day. This year’s theme was ‘Read your Way’. To coincide with the theme, children were invited to come into school that day in either their favourite character costume or their snuggliest pyjamas. We read lots of books, designed book marks and went on a book hunt outside!
