We have been reading the book 'Magic Train Ride' by Sally Crabtree. The children have been making their own magic tickets.
World Book Day in Nursery
Thursday 5th March 2020
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Spring 1: Bears
Do you want to go on a bear
hunt?
We have been learning the days of the week and have made up our own song. These are the actions we do for each day.
The children have been painting and drawing daffodils
in Nursery.
Science Day in Nursery
Tuesday 4th February 2020
We have been learning about Chromatography - separating
a mixture.
We found the colour you get in a felt-tip pen depends on the
mixture of inks that have been used.
We could clearly see blue and yellow ink is used to
make the green that we colour with.
The brown was a little trickier, but afterwards we did some colour mixing using paints to check if the colours we could see on our chromatography papers were correct.
The children made brilliant scientists. They wore white lab coats and even cleaned the area after they had finished their investigations.
Well done Nursery.
Colour mixing using paints.
It has been very windy so we decided to make our own kites.
The children had a lot of fun running round and round
the Outdoor Area flying their kites.
The children enjoyed listening to the story Bear's Birthday
by Stella Blackstone
In the story Bear has a wonderful birthday and a big birthday feast. We decided to make our own sandwiches. The children decided if they wanted jam, honey or just margarine in their sandwiches. They spread their own margarine and added a filling if they wanted one.
We have also been reading This is the Bear and the Picnic Lunch
by Sarah Hayes
The children really felt like they were having their own little picnic in the classroom and sat with their friends to eat their sandwiches and have a drink.
The children then completed a chart together to show which filling they had chosen and we could see that jam was the most popular!
The children have been making 'silly soup' as part of our phonics lessons. They have been finding things beginning with 'b' to add to the soup. They sing the silly soup song and take it in turns to add ingredients. We chose 'b' as we are learning about bears this half term.
January Stay and Play

Our afternoon stay and play session on

Autumn 2: Colour, Pattern and Sound
What is your favourite colour?
Our amazing mark making work
Over the half term the children have completed some amazing mark making work. They have used brushes and paints, paint dabbers, felt-tip pens, pencils, crayons, biros and glitter pens. They have created their own beautiful pictures, spoken to friends and staff to take dinner orders and written shopping lists. They have enjoyed exploring what it feels like to write.
Well done Nursery.
Our Christmas Stay and Play Sessions
Thank you to parents, grandparents and carers for staying to play and making our stay and play sessions so successful.
Musical Fun in Nursery
The children enjoyed listening to the story
The Ding Dong Bag
by Jess Stockham
They sang and played musical instruments alone, in pairs, small groups and as a whole class. The children know the instruments are stored in an old brown suitcase under the teacher's chair.
Investigating Technology in Nursery
Autumn 1: Settling In, All About Me
Who looks after me?
Printing with autumn colours in Nursery
The children have enjoyed using cotton wool and pegs to print their own autumn pictures.
Investigating pumpkins in the outdoor area
The children were excited to talk about the pumpkins.
Here are some of the things they said.
"Mine goes boing! It's got seeds in it"
"It's slimy."
"A lot of seeds."
"It's squashy!"
"I'm going to cut my piece in half."
"You can make a pumpkin cake."
The children enjoyed scooping out the seeds and then placing them in balance scales to see how many they needed to balance with conkers of different amounts and sizes.
