It has been a busy week in the Grasshopper nursery!

On Monday, we joined up with the Bees and had great fun dancing and playing games at our Halloween party. We played ‘Pass the Pumpkin’, ‘Musical Monsters’, ‘Ghost, Ghost, Witch’, and had a dancing competition!

On Tuesday, we put our helmets on and went outside for ‘Wheeled Toys!’ We have been learning how to negotiate and share the wheeled toys. We have also been learning about boundaries and keeping safe. The children know that they are not supposed to go past the cones that set our boundaries. They also know that they should find an adult if they are upset or need help.

On Wednesday, we went to the Woodies! At the moment, we are using the fenced area of the Woodies while we continue to discuss rules and boundaries with the children. The children are beginning to understand the rules of the Woodies:

1- Do not go past the cones (that mark our boundaries)! 2- Get a grown up if you see dog mess. 3- Have fun!

We continue to have in interest in climbing trees, and playing with the crisp Autumn leaves.

 

In nursery, we have been learning about Autumn. We’ve been learning about the different festivals and celebrations that happen in Autumn, like Halloween and Bonfire night. We have also been exploring and sorting Autumn foliage. Some children have been looking through books and stories about Autumn and mark making what they have learned.
