Block 5

This fortnight we have begun our new learning  block.

We are learning to identify our  5 senses and use them to explore the world around us.

 We are investigating the main parts of the human body and learning about  some of their functions. We are enjoying  exploring  what our bodies need to keep fit and healthy.

 We are developing our awareness  of how routines and events in our world link with times and seasons.

For example, using our daily calendars and timetables to familiarise ourselves with daily routines in the nursery environment and in our homes.   We will be exploring different ways of measuring and recording time with timers, clocks and watches.

We love listening to stories at nursery with our friends. To help us develop our understanding of  stories we are encouraged to ask questions and make links between what we are learning with what we already know.

We are having lots of opportunities to explore painting with different tools and investigating colour mixing.  We are loving how messy and great fun it can be both inside and outside!
