Today at nursery the children were still interested in painting and drawing scarecrow’s and hedgehogs, we cut some out and put them on the wall. We played outside on the bikes and scooters. During our music lesson we were tapping out rhythm’s on the claves and rhythm sticks, we played Farmer’s in the Den.
Thursday 8th October
AM children did gym today with Mrs Fletcher, we were playing games where the children had to listen to the instructions carefully. We were continuing with ball skills today and practicing throwing and catching.
AM and PM children – In science we were looking at sunflowers and what happens to them at this time of year. We studied their seed heads using magnifying glasses and recorded what they look like by drawing a picture. We talked about how these seeds would make new plants next spring/summer.
PM children did gym outside today – lots of opportunities for play in the sunshine!
Our numeracy sorting and matching assessments are now completed but we are still encouraging the children to use these materials to develop the associated language, maybe they would like to do some sorting at home? (We have been sorting by colour, shape, type of object or animal etc)
Children brought home their bread today which they made yesterday – some lovely smells from the nursery kitchen! We hope they enjoy eating it at home and telling you how they shaped it into rolls.

Monday 5th October 2015
A busy day at nursery finding out more about autumn. AM children did some drama pretending to be falling leaves, in time to the music, and animals looking for a cosy home under the leaves. We did some sorting and matching using different autumn materials, lots of discussion here. PM children did music with myself, we were keeping a steady beat in time to the song and playing bells, we went on a bear hunt and sang 5 little monkeys. We listened to music from Carnaval of the Animals and tried to imagine what animal would move to different pieces of music.

We talked about the seasons today and what the animals do in the autumn. The music teacher was in nursery – we were keeping a steady beat using the bells, we sang the Bear Hunt Song and moved in time to the music pretending to be dinosaurs – lots of fun! We enjoyed more late summer sun and played with the bikes outside.
Thursday 1st October
Another lovely sunny day so the children made the most of enjoying being outside. We continued the interest in construction using the outdoor environment and natural resources to make a ‘run’ the ball could roll down. We learned more about autumn and talked about an indian summer!
