This week in nursery the boys and girls  helped Mrs Hughes make bread. First we had to take turns measuring out the ingredients. We cracked an egg and put it in the bowl, then added some milk.

Then we added skimmed milk powder and flour.

Next we added salt and sugar.

Lastly we added the yeast to help the bread to rise.

While the bread was baking we read the story of The Little red Hen. The boys and girls sat in their own spaces and had very good listening ears.

Next we listened to The Little Red Hen rap. We joined in with the repetition parts and actions.

Next we got to try the bread. We could choose plain bread, bread with butter or  jam. Everyone agreed the bread tasted scrummy yummy.

Once we had all finished our bread we helped to re-tell the story of The Little Red Hen by acting it out as Mrs Hughes read the story. I think we have lots of budding actors and actresses in our nursery.

To finish off we had to draw our own Little Red Hen. To do this we had to draw around our hand, colour it in red, add on legs and a beak.

What a very busy morning and afternoon !!!!

We have had a very busy spooky day on Thursday for Halloween!  We had lots of Halloween activities on offer.

Last week the Orange Group decided they would like to change the home corner into the 3 little pigs houses. Before we started we made a mind map to decided what resources we would keep that were in the home corner already and which resouces we needed to find/change. The boys and girls came up with lots of ideas. We decided to keep the home corner and use it as mummy and daddy pig’s house. The we built a house using waffle bricks for one of the pigs.

The nursery boys and girls had lots of fun role playing in the area. We had costume to dress up in – the 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf.  We put out other bricks to build with along with sticks (garden canes) and straw (shredded paper) for the other pig’s houses.
