We have began our topic ‘All About Me’ and we started by looking at our body parts and facial features. We loved using construction to make up our body and describing the different parts. We practised using our body parts to move in different ways during our PE lesson and used loose parts to make…

What a super morning we have had! We enjoyed a forest school experience for enrichment day and we have been doing lots of different activities.

We loved den building, using our imagination, problem solving skills and working together to make a den. We then enjoyed some hot chocolate in our…

This week we spent 2 days in our new classrooms with our new teachers. 
We were very excited and a little nervous but we had the best time exploring the room, activities and getting to our new teacher. 
Miss Curtis and Miss Edward’s both had such lovely things to say about the children and they…

The children have loved using their senses to explore the different materials. They have been using lots of vocabulary such as ‘soft, rough, smooth, fluffy’. Together we felt the materials and grouped them into the correct category.

Super vocabulary!

Super maths outside! We have been representing numbers and learning the correct formation through the number rhymes. I was amazed at their efforts. Well done Nursery.

We made Father's Day cards for our dads to show our appreciation for all that they do for us. We decorated the front of our card by colouring and sticking, and then wrote a message inside. We are looking forward to giving our cards to our loved ones on Sunday. Happy Father's Day!

We worked on our spatial reasoning by using 2D shapes to create a picture. We selected, rotated and manipulated shapes to ensure they were in the correct position and orientation when creating a desired image. 

We had lots of fun making gingerbread men using the ingredients we bought from Lidl. We carefully measured out the ingredients before mixing them together and rolling the mixture. We then used a cutter to cut out our gingerbread men shapes and baked the gingerbread men in the oven for 20 minutes.…

We used our fine motor skills to cut around different animals. We then talked about where they live on the farm based on their needs and preferences. For example cows love to eat grass so we know they lived in a field. We discussed together if we were unsure of some animals homes to remind…

We began with creating sounds through body percussion and showing Miss Mayer how well we could listen and copy the actions/sounds. We then incorporated the instruments playing slow, fast, loud and quiet. The children were super and listening and then repeating my rhythm. 
 

We then looked at…

We sang the song ‘Old Mc Donald had a farm’. We identified all of the different animals on a farm and the sounds they make. We then looked through the story at different sounds, places and people on the farm. We found tractors, ponds, farmers, and scarecrows. 
We then enjoyed changing the lyrics…

Thank you so much to everybody who attended the play and stay sessions. It was lovely to show you around our classroom and share our learning about the farm with you. I know the children had so much fun decorating animals, showing you their favourite areas and making memories with you.
