Some of the learning, activities and experiences happening in nursery.

This week the children have been learning about the Artist Wassily Kandinsky, who is well known for experimenting with shapes in his paintings. One of his most famous paintings was called ‘Squares with Concentric Circles.’ The children have each been contributing individual pictures that have been put together to make a class abstract piece of Art.

This is our last week exploring Shape. The children have been learning about the properties of shape through a range of experiences and activities.

Predicting and testing shapes outdoors to see if they slide or roll. Shape matching and sorting. Making straw and pipe cleaner shape jewellery was a great fun activity. We had diamond shaped necklaces, triangle shaped dangle earrings and square bracelets. They were all excited to take them home. “My Mummy is going to love all my jewellery; she will want earrings like these ones!!!”

Lots of the children have been pretending to be Firemen this week. They made their own Fire Engine, and the role-play area has been turned into a Fire Station. There have been fires everywhere in nursery!!!

Connie’s Dad has also made us a fantastic ‘Petrol Pump’ for our car area. We can’t thank you enough. The children have had great fun filling up their cars. With some very high petrol prices!!!

       

Next week we will be learning about Easter. The children will be doing lots of craft activities and an Easter Egg Hunt in the Nursery Garden!
