Following on from our poetry work on minibeasts, the children are using resources indoors to make their own minbeast habitats.   They have worked together and were so proud of their creation.  They spent a considerable amount of time playing once it was built.  

Today we have been talking about being made welcome.  We went over to church and re enacted a baptism and discussed being welcome in the Church’s family.

Physical development is part of everything we do in nursery. Each day we are developing and strengthening our fine and gross motor skills through the different activities we do. We are mark-making, playing musical instruments, lifting and carrying, balancing and building as well as feeding…

We have been enjoying the autumnal sunshine this morning in the garden. The children have loved exploring, we have found lots of lady birds!  We had a campfire with cake and songs.

This week we have been looking at different measures.  We have been using our hands to weigh two items and use our hands like a see saw.  The children then went into provision and continued this. 

After reading the story ‘Whatever Next’ by Jill Murphy, some of the children chose to explore and build a rocket with the wooden blocks.  They explored how to position the blocks in different ways using the language big, bigger, small, smaller.  

The children have been busy this morning building a bridge to our outdoor autumn cafe.  We saw some brilliant teamwork and problem solving.

A newly donated glockenspiel became a focal point in nursery this morning and we ended up having a nursery rhyme medley led by Mrs Bruchez with Mrs McIntyre joining in on the flute!

This week the children have had lots of fun playing outdoors in the lovely sunshine. They have been reading, painting and building together. Indoors they are enjoying role-playing in the home corner and are learning to take turns. 

We have been learning to pray in school.  The children have been practising the sign of the cross and spending special time talking to God.  Sometimes they choose to spend a little time saying a private prayer at our special RE table.
