Term 1 – Week 4
We have been enjoying baking scones for our parents and carers to enjoy on our Open Evening. We were reading the recipe with an adult, and taking turns to carefully measure the ingredients. We counted how many scones we could fit onto our trays. Fantastic counting!!!
Our children went on a learning walk around the school garden with Mrs Baird and discovered our apple trees. The children were very excited to see beautiful apples on the branches. They collected some ripe apples for our nursery to show to their friends.
Our morning children have enjoyed dressing up as Princes and Princesses and they decided that they needed crowns. With help from Mrs Nicholls we looked at beautiful crowns on the internet to see how we could make some in our nursery. We have had beautiful Princes, Kings and Princesses in our morning session this week.
Term 1 – Week 3
This week at our messy table the children have been mixing primary colours on a plate, they had great fun creating new colours.
At nursery we are becoming very independent and can help to make snack, select our own food and then wash up our plates. Snack time is a great opportunity for us to sit with our friends and have a chat 🙂
Thank you to all of our parent who attended the first ‘Parent Focus Group’ meeting of the term with Mrs Baird. Mrs Galloway is looking forward to meeting you all at the next meeting.
Term 1 – Week 2
This week our children were very interested in threading at the number table. They were keen to develop this idea further at the ‘creative area’ by threading different papers and materials using a needle. This then progressed onto threading pasta onto string, wool and pipe cleaners to make necklaces and bracelets. We hope that you liked your new jewellery!
The children asked to paint their pasta and we had fun adding glitter to make the pasta sparkle 🙂
When painting their pasta the children told Mrs Galloway that someone had used the wrong brush and the colour was wrong. This then lead the children to become interested in colour mixing.
Other areas of our nursery were busy too…
Term 1 – Week 1: Welcome to Uphall Nursery
A huge welcome to all of our new children, parents and carers and a huge ‘welcome back’ to our pre-school children.
We have been so lucky over the summer holidays to purchase some new furniture and resources for our nursery, we are so excited to share it with our children and their parents/carers.
We are now going to concentrate on the development of our outdoor learning environment…watch this space for updates!
During their first week at nursery the children have enjoyed getting to know the nursery staff and their own key workers. They have made new friends and also enjoyed being reunited with old ones. This week we have talked about how to take care of our nursery and have enjoyed tidying up when we hear our new ‘tidy up song’.
Here are some pictures of our children being very busy on their first week at nursery…
