Welcome to the November issue of the Berryhill Nursery blog!

We have had a fantastic month in nursery.  We have been learning all about Autumn and, through this context, have been exploring and investigating pattern, enjoying the great outdoors, finding information in different ways and learning all about nocturnal animals as well as much, much more!

 

The children enjoyed a visit from Lesley from Moo Music this month.  The especially enjoyed the bubble game she played with them.

 

The children enjoyed visiting Baron’s Haugh…

“We were looking for squirrels.  We saw one.  Hedgehogs go to sleep.  They eat slugs.” Makayla

Where they enjoyed comparing and measuring…

Trying to climb trees…

And investigating different types of plants…

“We saw brown squirrels.  We saw lots of animal houses.  All the leaves were falling down because of the wind and the cold.  I got the biggest stick but not the size of me.” Kayden

“We were looking for animals houses.  We collected leaves and sticks.  I had a middle one.”  Sean

 

We have been learning about patterns and exploring them in different areas of the nursery.

 

We have also been using the iPads to find lots of information about nocturnal animals, in particular, hedgehogs.

“Hedgehogs look in the dark for food.  They like worms.  They have lots of spikes.” Daniel

“They eat slugs and worms.  They’re jaggy.”  Alfie

“It rolls into a ball in the morning.  At night time they look for food.” Kaelyn

 

Through SID and SHANARRI the children have been learning all about keeping SAFE.  Please look out for our new SHANARRI wall in the cloakroom, coming soon!

 

We are currently preparing for our Nursery Nativity which is on Thursday 14th November.

During December the children will be learning all about the Nativity story.
