St Bartholomew's Nursery

We have been learning all about Diwali in the nursery. We have had the chance to eat some tasty food like poppadums, curry sauce and naan bread. Yum yum!

In Maths, we continue to look at different ways in which we can make marks to represent numbers. We are working very hard!

We are learning how to make marks to represent numbers in the nursery at the moment. Yesterday, we played a game where we had to throw a ball into a bucket.

We made a mark on our whiteboards every time that we managed to do this. This girl was VERY good at this game!

At the end, we counted our marks to see how many goals we all scored. Well done everyone!

We were using the SMART board to play a great counting game. We were very careful when we were counting and we got it right loads of times.

We matched the ladybird’s spots to it’s number

We have been fun learning to match letters which are the same when we have been playing letter snap.

We enjoyed being really qick at finding a ‘snap’.

As part of our topic about Festivals, we have been learning about Guy Fawkes Night. We talked about being safe with fireworks and we made some sparkly firework pictures. We have as special dark space in the playroom where we have been exploring light and darkness with some fabulous lights and torches. We even have a night time race track with remote controlled cars with real head lights to light the way in the dark.

We have been learning how to count by pointing to each object, one at a time.

Look at the number carefully

Count one bear into your tub one by one

We can find letters which match

We were learning to match letters when we played letter pairs with Mrs O’Neill. We worked in a group and had to take turns and we helped each other when the game was tricky.

We helped our friends match the letters

We had to look carefully at the letters to see if they matched

We have been reading the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. We made bridges, masks and we even acted out the story. We made a fabulous display with Mrs Whelan.

Who’s that trip trapping over my bridge?

We wrote our own version of the story

We went for an autumn walk and found lts of beutiful autumn leaves. When we came back to nursery we sorted them into small medium and large leaves.
