Another busy week in nursery. We have been continuing to practise for our nativity as the stage is now up in the hall. We are getting really good at projecting our voices and getting into position when it is our turn to act. We are really looking forward to our performance next week. Keep practising your words! Please remember that all of our costumes are already sorted!

There has been lots of collage work happening at the craft table, this is helping to develop our fine motor skills. We will beginning to start some exciting Christmas art next week.

Some groups have been exploring the local woodland, trying to spot any signs of winter. We created mind-maps with some or our ideas: ‘the ground is crunchy’ ‘I can see my breath’ ‘There is ice’ Children who have not been and want to go will be given the opportunity in the next few weeks.

In our numeracy area we have been practising our counting skills. Some of us used our teddy bears to help our counting skills by sharing out a vareity of materials to each teddy, counting through the process.

Our role play area is now a cosy house, all set for Christmas. We have enjoyed dresing up in our new multi-cultural clothing and acting out a variety of different family scenes.

We are pleased to hear continued positive feedback for the Online Journals. There is a new function where photos or experiences from home can be shared too. Thank you to those of you who have used this already, it is always lovely to see a full picture of our nursery children. We also appreciate your comments on individual observations.

Our Christmas post box is now available and a class list is on the nursery door for anyone who is planning on writing Christmas cards this year.

We look forward to seeing you all next week at our nativity.
