This week we have had lots of fun playing and learning with our friends. We have begun to make a music wall outdoors using pans, spoons and bells. Inside we are playing in our home corner - having tea parties and going shopping. 

This week the children have started their phonics journey and have been introduced to the first sounds. The children have then independently created the letter sounds using loose parts and through mark making! What superstars! 

As part of our RSHE work, the children have been looking at self - portraits and what makes us special and unique. The children then used loose parts to create a self portraits! 

This week we are looking at different colours and sorting colours into groups. At home we are talking about our favourite colours and drawing pictures to share with our friends. 

This week we have been looking closely at different coloured leaves and pine cones. We also found a beautiful caterpillar in our outdoor area. 

We have been enjoying our camping adventure so much, that today we learnt how to put a tent up and erected it together in our nursery garden.  Ms Pankiv, our nursery link governor arrived just at the right time to get involved too!

We have been taking advantage of this week’s wonderful weather and spending lots of time learning outside.  The children have been exploring nature and using their imaginations to create delicious campfire soups, taking turns to add ingredients and stir.  We have been singing campfire songs…

The children have loved exploring our new mud kitchen in our outdoor area! The children have engaged in pretend and messy play by cooking with mud and water. Our mud kitchen has been great for the children to develop their fine motor skills and engage in role play. 

Some more of our pictures from this week.  Settling in and making new friends. 

This week we have been invited to join our hands and close our eyes when we pray.  We have been learning to make the sign of the cross.  

Children in Nursery A have been visiting over the last 2 weeks.  They have enjoyed exploring in many different ways.
