Exploring Shapes and Puzzles in Nursery B
This week we are playing with shape puzzles and simple jigsaws in our continuous provision. Today we matched a range of objects to their shadows concentrating on the shapes we could see. We also played a matching numicon and numeral game together.
Exploring Shape Using Blossom
The children in Nursery A have been showing off their knowledge of shapes this week. We have been exploring different shapes and today collected blossom that has fallen from our beautiful nursery tree, to fill shapes and create different shapes on our own and in small groups.
Counting in Nursery B
The children have been practising counting up to 3 objects. We have used dots on plates to help the children to subitise up to 3 and show matching fingers. They have also used their counting skills to count objects around them. “Look, I have 3 daisies!”
‘X’ Marks the Spot!
Our pirate adventure in nursery began on Monday afternoon when we went on a treasure hunt outside and followed clues to find hidden treasure. We used a treasure map of our outdoor area and listened to clues using positional and directional language and following a route. On our journey we found…
Sort Them Out
In pairs, the children answered a range of calculations.
Once they were solved, the children sorted them into different groups. They focused on any patterns they could see and different ways they could be grouped together.

Combining two groups of numbers
Today the children explored combining two groups to find out how many there were altogether. The children had a set of dominoes that included up to 8 spots. We also had a ‘car park’ with numbered spaces. The children took it in turns to select a domino and found the total number of spots. They…
Counting in Nursery
This week the children have been using their counting skills to make ‘magic potions’. They have been using the different resources to take three items and place them in the cauldron. The children continued with this counting activity in continuous provision with their…
Finding matching pairs
As part of our maths work this week, the children have been finding and making pairs! The children have been recognising that a pair is two.
