September/October
What a fantastic start to Nursery all the children have had! We are so proud of them for how well they have settled in and learnt our routines. Over this half term our topics have included, 'All about me', and, 'Bears/Autumn'. We have read some lovely stories linking in with these topics, such as 'We're going on a bear hunt', 'Goldilocks and the three bears' and 'Owl babies', where the children have listened carefully and attempted to ask questions all about the main events and the characters.Through these topics the children have enjoyed a variety of expressive art and design activities, such as creating each of the scenes from Bear Hunt, experimenting with different resources such as cotton wool, mud, paint, tissue paper and pastels. They all created an Autumn hand print tree which look lovely on our Nursery display! Our bear topic also ended with a Teddy Bears picnic with parents in the hall and the children really enjoyed engaging in the activities, such as decorating a biscuit, bear yoga, making a bear mask and joining in with parachute games. Thankyou so much to parents/Grandparents who came along.
We have also been starting to practice writing our names by tracing over the letters and in order to help the children with their pencil grip and fine motor skills, we have started to do dough disco each morning.
The children have also been introduced to Ten Town, where we will be learning all about a new number each week. So far we have learn 0 (Zero Pond), 1 (King One), 2 (Tommy Two) and 3 (Thelma Three).
Over the October half term, if you could practice with your child becoming more independent with certain things, such as taking off and putting on their own shoes and putting on their coat (and having a go at zipping it up) that would be great thankyou as we have been encouraging the children to have a go at doing these whilst at Nursery.
Our topics after the half term are 'Transport', and 'Celebrations'.
Any photos of home learning from home please pop them on to Evidence Me as we do love to see these!
Nursery's first week!
We are so proud of all the children for their first full week, they have all been superstars and are settling straight in to Nursery life! We are very proud of them. They have been busy exploring our environment, both indoors and outdoors this week and beginning to familiarise themselves with our rules and routines.
Our topic is 'All about me' and they have been busy painting their own self-portraits, learning about similarities and differences between us, and enjoying looking at the lovely family photos in our home corner and talking about our families. Please can we remind you to bring in a family photo if you haven't yet, as the children really do like looking at these. In a couple of weeks we will be moving on to our Autumn/Bears topic.
Just a reminder too about naming everything please, the children take jumpers/shoes etc off every day and it would make it much quicker for us to find who they belong to! Thank you so much!
