Off to a great start!

Hello! Welcome to our old families and new! We’re off to a great start so far, with children settling well and new friendships being made already. 😊

After some consultation with the children about what and how they would like to learn, the nursery is starting to really take shape. Here’s a few photos to see what we’ve been up to the first few weeks back.

Our new sign in area. Please remember to sign your child in and out of nursery every day. Look out for relevant notices and information on this wall.
Over the Summer our garden really began to bloom with the flowers the children planted before the break.
Yvonne created this beautiful fairy scene on a cable drum for the children to enjoy some imaginative play.
Taking literacy outdoors thanks to Stephanie and Louise.

 

The children are going to be looking at a different artist each week. This week the focus was on Van Gough. After looking at the sunflowers growing in our garden, the children created this stunning collage in response to the painting ‘Sunflowers’.

Look at these lovely paintings of sunflowers created on tinfoil. So effective!

The children had some great ideas for the maths and numeracy area. They have decided to look at counting to ten and beyond, as well as sorting and matching.

We started a display of numbers 0 – 10. We’ve been busy counting different items that we’ve found around the nursery.
Some problem solving. The children have to find the key that unlocks the padlock by counting the number of dots on the key tag and finding the correctly numbered padlock.
The children have been matching and sorting colours and natural resources.
