The afternoon  nursery have been creating their own rockets, as part of learning about Bonfire Night. The children decorated their paper and then asked a teacher to help them assemble, developing their imagination and fine motor skills as some of the pieces were tricky to pick up and glue.

On Friday the boys in girls in the afternoon nursery enjoyed getting creative and messy with pumpkin potions.

We also created monster hats, danced and had great fun stomping on the pumpkins before we helped clean up.

The Nursery Pupils of the Week are as follows;

Morning Nursery 

Dulciee – For having such a positive attitude all week in nursery!

Afternoon Nursery

Robert – For having an excellent week and following the nursery routine!

Well Done to both of you!

We have been having lots of fun this week, decorating, exploring and carving pumpkins.

We were using our fine motor skills to explore the inside of a pumpkin, the boys and girls thought they looked like spider webs, and using the seeds in our home corner. The children decided they wanted to decorate the pumpkin instead of carving it. The children chose the colours of paint and added some glitter to make it extra “special.” The children worked as part of a team to completely cover the pumpkin in paint, taking turns when it was necessary.

Due to the rather wet weather we came inside for the second half of the session, and enjoyed playing with different equipment. A new favourite is the matching meerkat game. Some of the children were matching the meerkats to what teacher they thought they could be. There was many variations, and we even matched some to our friends.

This is one of our favourite songs to listen to this week as we have been talking about emotions and how we are feeling.

Have a lovely weekend!!

The morning nursery enjoyed painting spiders today. Most of the children came to make their own painting. They all had to use their fine motor skills to use the pompom to paint their spiders bodies and a stick to paint the spiders legs. Counting out the legs of each spider was hard work. Some spiders at the end only had two legs.

The children enjoyed displaying their art work on the wall and the teacher hung them up for the parents to take home at pick up time.

Please keep an eye for any pictures that are to be picked up when the gallery is up.  Feel free to admire the other pictures too.

The afternoon nursery have been having fun exploring pumpkins this week. So far we have helped carve the top of the pumpkin to have a look inside. We used our sense of touch to help scoop out the inside of the pumpkin and play with the guts. We then used our sense of smell to decide whether we liked the smell or not using thumbs up or thumbs down.

We will carve another pumpkin later on in the week, after we have chosen which kind of features we want to pumpkin to have.

The morning nursery carved a pumpkin today. They had to take turns and cut and shape the pumpkin as well as scooping out all the innards.

This week we have been reading stories and discussing Autumn. We have spoken about the leaves falling and changing colors as well as the conkers falling.

Please feel free to share your pictures from home on I.L.D or send a picture to your child’s Key worker.

Thank you.
