When the lights go out…the torches come out!
A power cut in nursery didn’t stop the fun and learning this week. We used torches to find our way around nursery, exploring light, dark and shadows.
Who lives in a house like this?
As part of our Communication and Language work, we have been reading the book Home by Carson Ellis. The children have been building different homes within the nursery provision. They have produced some fantastic creations.
Nursery Making Mud Soup
The children have been working together in the mud kitchen making mud soup using our natural resources.
Nursery Learning Outdoors
The children have had lots of fun playing and exploring outdoors. In music we have been learning about percussion instruments so the children wanted to hear the sounds the tractor tyre could make. They have also been using the trees to play hide and seek.
Length
This week for maths we have been exploring length.
We looked objects that were long and short and then went into the classroom and found other objects to compare.
Musical Moments
The children have enjoyed exploring different sounds on our new music wall that the children created together this week. We listened to the sounds the wooden items made when hit and described how they are different to the sounds created by striking metal objects.
Autumn Fun
The children in nursery have been learning about autumn and have collected lots of autumnal treasures. We have had fun outdoors looking for more signs of autumn, finding mini-beasts, dancing in the wind with our scarves and reading in the sunshine.

Rain doesn’t stop play!

All Aboard!
Look at the train we made in nursery this week using brilliant teamwork skills and language to create this collaborative masterpiece! Well done children!
Bird spotting in Nursery A
Some of the children have been keen to find out about the different birds they might see in the nursery garden.
