We have had such a fun week in Nursery!

We started the week by exploring all the lovely Autumn treasures that the children had collected over the weekend. The children identified what they had found and where they found them. The children then used our information books to discover what some unfamiliar Autumnal items were. We were so impressed with the questions the children asked which showed lots of curiosity. The children then used lots of the lovely autumnal finds to create some colourful pictures. They used leaves, pine cones and conkers to print using paint.

We all sat together and read a lovely story called ‘Peace at Last’ and discussed bedtime routines. We identified some unfamiliar vocabulary such as ‘nocturnal’ and talked about what it means. We then looked at some of the pictures of the children, all ready for bed at night time and they told the class what their routine was. Later in the week the children came into the classroom to a special task. The children were challenged to go on a hunt around the room to find items associated with bed time and day time. The children then use their knowledge to sort the items into the right category. Fabulous sorting skills everyone!

We had a very special delivery from the pumpkin patch with lots of different pumpkins of different sizes, shapes and colour. The children identified which one was the smallest and which was the biggest. The children learnt about where pumpkins grow and the different ones that can be eaten. The children were so intrigued about the edible pumpkins that we decided to chop them up and cook them. The children then tasted the delicious pumpkin, topped with spices at snack time. Delicious!

On Thursday we celebrated National poetry day and read ‘Mr Magnolia’ by Quentin Blake. The children discovered that Mr Magnolia (Miss Dalley) only had one boot. The children then went on a hunt in the outdoor area to find the missing boot! Everyone worked together as a team to search in the outdoor area and they were so delighted when they found it. Thank you so much everyone, I don't know how it got outside! The children then had a go at dressing up as Mr Magnolia with his one boot, bow tie, scarf and flute. The children even designed their own boot using lots of different materials. What a fun day we had!

We are so pleased with how well the children have settled in, and we look forward to lots more fun in Nursery!

Have a lovely weekend and we will see you all next week.

 

Best wishes,

Miss Dalley
