This month we have noticed a big change in the weather.

“it’s cold today”…”I’ve got my hat to keep me warm”

While outside we noticed a little robin searching for some food. We made some bird feeders for the birds and other wildlife to enjoy. We will be making a bird watching area in our nursery garden to see what wildlife comes into our garden.

At group time we have been exploring upper and lower case letters, by playing games such as snap and letter lotto. We were discussing some of the letters we recognised, for example the letters in our name. We were also able to think of other words that start with the same sound “e…for egg”

🕸 Spiders and Webs 🕸

The children have shown an interest in traps and webs this month. They worked together to create their own web. They have been developing their problem-solving and communication skills when talking to each other about where the string or tape should be placed.

“You need to pass it underneath to me, so I can put it over the top.”

The children also had fun creating their own spiders. They then used the internet to research some facts about spiders.

Fun fact!

Did you know that spiders have 8 eyes as well as 8 legs? 👀🕷

Kandinsky 

From the children’s interest in webs and spiders, they were introduced to the work of a famous Russian artist called Kandinsky.  He was famous for his abstract art.

They enjoyed taking their pen for a walk to create some art work like a web. We then used our imaginations to add colour and pattern to their work. They also created some abstract shape pictures and worked collaboratively to create an amazing piece of art work inspired by Kandinsky. This is situated in the entrance hall for you to admire.

Halloween fun! 🎃 

Even more fun experiences from this month.

 

We hope you all had fun trick or treating with your families!
