Welcome to the January edition of the nursery blog.

The children showed such a great interest in animals during our Autumn context so we decided that, along with the recent snowy and icy weather, it would be a great opportunity to learn all about the Polar Regions and the animals that live in these places.

Through SHANARRI, the children have been learning about how to keep their bodies HEALTHY.  We have talked about what makes food healthy or unhealthy.  The children have been tasting different types of fruit and enjoyed making fruit kebabs.  Sasha, the dental nurse, also came in and talked to the children about the importance of brushing their teeth.

 

In numeracy, the children have been counting on and back on the number line, ordering numbers and using one to one correspondence to give the correct amount of objects.

 

We have been finding information about different types of animals using the iPads, the Smartboard and books.  The children have been drawing different animals that live in the Polar Regions and recalling information about them.

 

We will continue our Polar Regions context over the next few weeks and will then move on to learning all about the Gruffalo!
