More Minibeasts!
We have been so busy in nursery this week, making spiders webs, moving like minibeasts in the gym hall, making symmetrical butterfly wings and even counting spiders legs!
Symmetry
We are learning about symmetry. Today, we used the play dough to make halves of a variety of shapes. Using mirrors we were then able to see the complete shape. It was tricky guessing what shape it was going to make. At the art table, we were also exploring symmetry whilst painting bear’s faces.
Science Investigation
This week, the children in the nursery have been conducting a science investigation. Over three days, the children tested cola, soapy water and tomato sauce, in order to find out which was best for cleaning dirty coins. We compared the results and the tomato sauce was the best.
Data Analysis
This week, the children have been busy gathering information using checklists.  The aim was to find out about the different colours of hair and eyes in the nursery. We then made a chart to display our findings.
Welcome back
We hope you have all had a lovely summer holiday. It is great to see our returning children again.  They have all grown so much during the holidays and are loving being positive role models for our new children.  Our new topic is Healthy Me. Lots of pictures and learning to follow. Keep tuned in!
Sports Day
After weeks of practising, the children competed in a variety of races, as part of our sports day. We tried really hard and had great fun. Thank you to all family members who came along to show their support.
 
 
 
 
 
   
  
Obstacle Course
On Wednesday we had great fun participating in the sponsored obstacle course. We had to crawl, climb and jump over a variety of apparatus. It was exhausting!
 
 
 
Snow Fun
After lots of snowfall, we had great fun with the untouched snow in the nursery garden. We used pencils to draw with. We looked at numbers and tried to write these in the snow. Take a look.
Winter
As part of our winter topic, we have been learning about warm clothes. Today, we used catalogues to cut out and sort winter and summer clothing. Have a look.
