With all our work in the garden last term making a fairy garden, a sensory planter and some outdoor seating, we inevitably ran out of materials so a helpful little group went down town with staff to replenish our supplies. As well as shopping for varnish and some new brushes, the children took the opportunity to look for signs of Autumn on their walk and brought some lovely finds back for our display area.
Two more of our families have commented on the children’s singing:
“It was lovely to watch the kids sing yesterday. Bethany sings these songs every day.”
“Gutted that I wasn’t able to make it this time, however Olivia has been singing her songs non stop at home and teaching the songs and actions to her little sister!! She told me the singing‘went good’ at nursery! 🙂”
It’s lovely to hear that the children have been singing their songs at home. It sounds like Olivia’s little sister will be a star by the time she comes to Nursery herself with Olivia teaching her lots of songs.
Isaac’s family has left a lovely comment about the children’s performance of their Autumn songs:
“Was lovely to hear all the boys and girls singing today. Isaac had been practising lots at home so was really looking forward to it. Well done everyone!”
Well done Isaac for practising at home. It’s good to hear that you have enjoyed learning these songs.
Thank you to all the family and friends who were able to watch the children’s performance today of the Autumn songs that they have been learning. We really appreciate your support in providing a wonderful audience for the children and we hope that you enjoyed their performance as much as they seemed to.
One of our aims is to develop ‘confident individuals’ and many of our children showed themselves to be exactly that in performing in front of a large audience. Well done boys and girls! We think that your families were as proud of you as we were.
Well done to last week’s award winners. You both thoroughly deserved those certificates.
Lily’s family has been looking at the various photos of our work on Autumn:
“Lily has been absolutely loving all this autumn work- especially the songs as she sings them all the time! 🙉 She likes to go on the iPad and watch the song clips!”
Well done for singing your songs at home to your family Lily. That must be why you perform them so well in Nursery.
We would like to remind you that, as we come towards the end of our learning about Autumn, you can come a little early to collect the children tomorrow, Thursday 13th October, to hear them singing a few songs that they have been practising.
Space is obviously limited at the moment for lots of adults as well as children, while our building work is being carried out, but we hope that we should be able accommodate everyone just for a short time. Please arrive for 11.45 or 2.50, depending on the session your child attends, if you wish to hear the children singing.
We all had great fun recently with a lovely present from Lily’s Mum who brought in a big tray of green gloop. As you can see from the photos below, the children absolutely loved this messy experience and, as well as the photos, we have captured some of their comments on how it felt.
Harvey L.: it’s wobbly.
Leah P.: it’s squidgy.
Danielle: it’s cold.
Leah M.: it feels yukky. It’s like glue and sugar. It’s sliding off my fingers.
Quinn: it’s so gooey.
Lily: it’s slime, slime, slime.
Owen: it’s like glue.
Finlay: it’s all slime.
Francesca: it feels like sticky soap.
Chloe: it feels weird. I can’t get it off my hands.
Harris N.: it’s gooey. It’s not dry but it’s kind of dry. It smells like porridge.
Callum: it feels like sparkles.
Isobella: it’s getting very hard.
We posted some photos recently of the children washing logs and slabs of wood as a starting point for making fairy houses for outdoors. The next stage was to carry out some woodwork to make doors and windows so we helped the children to use a hammer and chisel to carve them out of the wood. The hammer was also useful for adding chimneys to the houses. Super listening and very careful work was evident and you can see the look of concentration on their faces as they carried out this tricky task. I wonder if we are seeing some joiners of the future here?
