Plants
This term we will be exploring how to grow plants and learn how to care for them. We are taking part in an exciting project to create our own nursery mini gardens. The children are currently planning a theme for each of our gardens and creating their design plans of what they are going to include. We would love to have any parents interested in joining us in the planting stages of these gardens. Please speak to any member of staff for more details if you are interested.
The last couple of weeks we have been exploring what plants need to grow and what seeds look like through a variety of fun activities.

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 have had a very busy week. Have a look at some of the things we have been learning and exploring!
We had great fun developing our finger strength using different playdough tools.
Suzanne introduced us to a variety of different fruits. We enjoyed tasting some we hadn’t tried before!
We have been developing our literacy skills in a variety of different ways.
We are continuing to enjoy exploring position and direction and the different forms of water. We had a super time using the tubes to make the water go in different directions.
We celebrated Ibrahim’s birthday this week.
