Here is our first Word Boost story that we have been reading this week in nursery. Have a listen along and help your children identify this weeks BOOST words!
During group time the green group have been making collage pictures of poppies. During the activity there was a discussion about why people wear poppies and what they represent. We spoke about how they were to help us remember the men and women who helped protect us and our country and that we wear them out of respect. We also spoke about the 2 minute silence where we stop doing what we are doing and stand for 2 minutes to remember these people.
There has been some fantastic work with nursery rhymes going on this week! A lot of children have enjoyed using props to create different nursery rhymes independently or together with their friends.
Nursery rhymes are great for a variety of literacy skills, but most importantly reading skills! Nursery rhymes help children hear the rhythm of our language and the syllables within our words which in turn help us learn to read.
Over the next few weeks the children will have the opportunity to explore different foods and drinks using their senses.
This weeks focus was on taste, where some of the children tasted some sour fruits/drinks and talked about what they thought of them. This activity has been a great way for the children to deepen their understanding of what sour actually means/tastes like and widen their descriptive language.

Everyone had a great time on Thursday at our little Halloween party! Some of our favourite activities were, spooky spider biscuit making, party snack and lots of dancing. The children decided the best Halloween song is the ‘Monster Mash’!
As you can imagine, the nursery has been a buzz with chat about Halloween. Some children requested to make black play dough and then decided they wanted to make spiders with it. They used pipe cleaners and buttons to create their creepy crawly spiders. Some fantastic creations!
Some of the children enjoyed designing their own faces, carving and scooping out pumpkins! They showed great perseverance when carving the faces and scooping out the pulp, as this was a bit tricky and took lots of effort!
We loved lighting the pumpkins and putting them in our dark shed in the garden. Don’t you think they look very spoooooooky?
