This week in Nursery we had fun using the Class tree house to support our learning! We blocked out all light by covering the tree house windows so it was nice and dark. We then used torches and glow sticks to experiment with different light sources.

We have also been practising our fine motor skills. We used scissors to cut out Christmas crackers; this was tricky because we are only just learning how to hold the scissors correctly. We are also practising how to hold our writing tools when mark making.

Finally at the end of a very busy week of learning, we all enjoyed decorating our class Christmas tree which now looks really festive. Da iawn Nursery!

This week in Nursery we have been learning all about the religious celebration, Hanukkah. We discussed the Jewish Festival of Light and the miracle of the temple of light; this burned for 8 days on just one day’s oil. We created our own Menorah candle pictures to honour this special celebration.

This week we began our Christmas celebrations early. We have now filmed our Christmas DVD and we had lots of fun dressing up in our Star costumes. We sparkled and shined on stage. We cannot wait for everyone to see our performance. 

Have a lovely weekend and stay safe. 

This week in Nursery we have been making our own musical instruments! We used straws to make our own pan flutes. We created songs and sounds with our new instruments.

We have also been learning all about the number 5. This made us all smile because we used the nursery rhyme ‘5 Little Ducks’ to help us learn.

Our fun continued with ‘Fitness Friday’ where where we all pretended to be jungle animals! We roared like Lions, stomped around like Elephants and stretched tall like Giraffes, so we are all ready for the weekend.

This week in Nursery we started our new ‘light and sound’ topic. We really enjoyed going on a ‘light and sound’ walk where we listened closely for all the different noises we could hear inside and outside. We also talked about different sources of light including sunlight and man made sources such as electricity.

On Wednesday, in honour of Armistice Day, we took time to have a moment of silence and then watch a very special recorded assembly by our year 6 class, which was fantastic.

On Friday we raised lots of money for Children In Need day and we are so grateful for all your generous donations, thank you. We had a fun time in non-school uniform and enjoyed all of the Pudsey Bear activities. We look forward to announcing the winner of our Nursery Pudsey bear raffle on Monday!

We have had a very creative week in Nursery. In addition to learning our numbers and Jolly Phonics, we have been learning all about Guy Fawkes and Bonfire night. We used our ICT skills this week to create our own firework pictures on Hwb. We constructed our own bonfire out of materials we found in our little woodland area. We then sat around our bonfire and enjoyed marshmallows which we pretended to toast.  

Also, fireman Sam helped us understand how important it is to stay safe on Bonfire night by sharing his safety tips. 

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you all Monday. 

We have had another fantastic week in Nursery!

We have been working hard learning to retell our Gingerbread Man story, so this week we decided to create our own gingerbread men using flavoured dough. We just hope they don’t try and run away too!

In maths we have been learning lots of new number rhymes and the animals in ‘Number Zoo’ are helping us count from 1-10.

Most importantly this week, we have been having lots of Halloween fun! We made our own pumpkin faces using apple printing and enjoyed listening to our book of the week ‘Room on The Broom’. But best of all was our fun filled class Halloween Party, where we dressed up in our spookiest costumes! We played pass the parcel, ate delicious hotdogs and danced to our favourite songs.

Have a wonderful half term and stay safe.
