Nursery Planning

The children are currently learning about letters and sounds.  We have been taking part in an imaginary story line in which a princess from the magical land of ‘letters and sounds’ has asked all the boys and girls to look for letters because all the letters in her magical castle have disappeared!  Can you see any letters? Look on signs, labels and anything else with print. We will be talking about sounds, e.g. clapping our names, talking about all the items that start with an initial sound and comparing rhyming words through listening and talking activities.

Our Polar Areas topic was a huge success! The children learned so much about penguins and polar bears!

The children enjoyed playing with a range of equipment to develop their understanding of polar areas.  They had fun exploring ice in the water tray and playing in the snow. They have been playing with an ice breaker ship in the small world area and they have been using polar animals in the igloo! The children also had visitors who told us all about their trips to the Arctic and Antarctica. It has been a fabulous learning experience for the children.

The children have been making lamps. They have been able to talk about the festival of Divali. They watched a video about this festival and they used materials on the interactive white board. They really enjoyed the texture of the clay and they tried hard to decorate the lamps using a range of beads and glitter!

A field teacher from the RSPB taught the Nursery children all about owls. The children were able to make owl sounds and identify owls.

They have had a lovely time playing with the night animals puppets, especially the owls.

The children have been exploring light by playing with torches in the tent. The children loved this activity!

The children showed an interest in making a warm cover for the bed in the house. This has been extended into work on quilting. Look at our super quilt.

The children have also been creating their own quilt patterns at the sticking table.

The children were really pleased with their quilting work!

The children baked delicious jam tarts as part of our day and night topic. They rolled out shortcrust pastry and cut pastry stars for the tops of the tarts. They were very tasty! They learned about cleanliness when cooking and the importance of hand washing. Well done boys and girls.
