What we have been doing in the nursery this week..
Some of the boys and girls have been exploring ice this week, They brought ice in from the outdoor learning area and watched it melt, they then measured how much water the ice had turned into using a jug they were then able to identify that the ice had turned into half a jug of water. The boys and girls then decided they would re-freeze the ice by putting it in the freezer because “The freezer is colder than the fridge”. Some other boys and girls have been discussing who is taller. We measured the boys and girls to discover who was the tallest. We have also been on walks this week and discovered seasonal changes.
What a great week at St Joseph’s!
Lego Club Success
Our Lego Club members felt a great sense of achievement last week as they completed another model. This model was built over a couple of weeks where the children took turns in each of the roles and built up enough Lego points to earn some free play! We are looking forward to start building some Christmas themed models next.
This week in P2…
We have been learning:
- to read and identify written number names
- to use the sounds ‘ue’, ‘aw’ and ‘oi’ in our reading and writing
- about how to safely cross the road
What the nursery have been doing this week..
The nursery boys and girls voted for their book of the week! They voted for The Disgusting Sandwich (YUCK) the children have explored and recreated the sandwich from the story then they created their own sandwiches using ingredients they used in their sandwich recipes! The children loved exploring the textures smells and tastes of the sandwiches and even found lots of shapes within the ingredients! We even went on a walk to the park to look for the disgusting sandwich – But no sandwich was found! “The mouse must have already got it!”
Outdoors the children were investigating ice and realised that ice was see-through, melted to water and when it hit the floor it broke into lots of different pieces which then represented shapes! Some boys and girls were mark making in the frost too!
