Well here we are at the October holidays!

We’ve had another busy week.

Some of the children have been exploring the various games on the Ipads, particularly the drawing games with them accessing the different mark making functions. This encouraged us to practice the art of negotiations and turn taking. 🙂

“Molly’s Circus”

As part of the children’s learning wall activities we were delighted to read a particularly special story book brought in by one of the children. Sophie brought in a book called “Molly’s Circus” which was written and illustrated by her Aunt Esther. The children thoroughly enjoyed engaging with it and talking about the beautiful illustrations. Thank you for sharing this with your nursery friends.

Woodwork creations

The children have been exploring the workbench area more this past week, with lots of independent learning and emerging resilience.We’ve had some excellent examples of items crafted from their imaginations, from statues, pillars, wands and even an Xbox controller!

Recycling

The children have learned about what it means to recycle. Some of us knew about recycling and could explain to their peers during discussions. We talked about the different kinds of recycling items and practiced with some new recycling games. The children followed the rules of the games well and some chose to continue independently.
We will be continuing with this after the holidays as the children wish to find out more.

 

Cycling to School

This week, like the rest of the school, some of us have been cycling and scooting to school. We used our excellent listening skills to listen to the JRSO (Junior Road Safety Officers) who handed out some prizes and talked to us about using reflective stickers to keep safe.

Well Done Everyone 🙂

Learning Wall:

We’ve had lots of interaction and quality learning through our learning wall about stories. All the children have added to our wall and been an active part of the discussions about our favourite stories, characters and books. Some of us have made our own story books and some have collaborated with friends to create books. What a great range of interesting stories!

At the forest

This week we were creating our own games/stories, swinging on the tree swing, drawing pictures with charcoal, weaving with branches and string, collecting pine cones and sticks for the fire, eating quesadillas and singing songs. What a busy day, we almost didn’t notice the rain!

Harvest Together Time

Today we joined the rest of the school in the hall for the Harvest Together Time. We all practiced active listening and the nursery ladies said we sat very well. We listened to all the classes telling stories and singing songs and joined in where we could.
