Nursery - Autumn 1 - Week 6
Date: 14th Oct 2022 @ 1:56pm
What a busy week we have had in Nursery!
We started our week by designing our own yellow flag to be part of the positivity pathway for 'Hello Yellow' day. We read a lovely story called ‘In my Heart’ and talked all about our feelings. The children thought about what their heart might look like if it’s feeling that way. We then came together with all of our lovely friends and walked through the positivity pathway.
On Tuesday we read ‘Leaf man’ and talked about Leaf man’s exciting adventures as he moved from place to place when the wind blew. We had a look at the different Autumn leaves featured in the book and talked about what type of tree they came from. The children identified the different colours of the autumn leaves and described their shape and size. The children used their helping hands to gather some more leaves for our autumn treasure tray and then had a go at making their own leaf man. The pictures look fantastic!
Nursery got their aprons on and wooden spoons ready this week to make some Autumn leaf biscuits. After identifying the leaves in the ‘Leaf man’ book, we decided to make maple leaf biscuits. First, the children identified the different colours that they could see in the maple leaves. They then worked in groups to make green, red and yellow biscuit dough which was mixed together and rolled out using rolling pins. The children thoroughly enjoyed baking their own biscuits and I must say they were delicious! What great bakers you all are!
On Wednesday Nursery took part in their first forest school. The children got their puddle suits and wellies on and walked two by two to the forest school log circle. The children listened to instructions and rules, before practicing how to move around the fire circle safely. The children were then set a challenge to leave the fire circle and find some flat autumn leaves to build a leaf tower. We were so impressed at how safely the children moved around the fire circle and listened to instructions. We had so much fun!
We ended the week with pyjama day to raise money for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. We talked about how amazing the doctors and nurses are that work and the children’s hospital, helping to make everyone feel better. To end a busy week made our classroom into a den and read our favourite stories.
It has been really lovely chatting to yourselves this week and I hope you can celebrate how well your child has settled into nursery.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you all next week!
Best wishes,
Miss Dalley and the Nursery Team
