Halloween

Hedgehogs

The children were very interested in hedgehogs, so they used autumn colours and a fork to paint on some spikes!


We also made some hedgehog bread. 

We kneaded the dough to make it smooth.

We rolled it into hedgehog shapes.

We added sultana eyes and nose and made spikes by using scissors.

This is what they looked like before they were cooked.

 If you would like to try making some of these yourself - here is a link to the recipe we used;  http://rainydaymum.co.uk/hedgehog-bread  

Down in the Jungle...

Last week we continued with our animal theme to create a display for the cloakroom area.  The children worked hard using a variety of skills and techniques to make snakes, elephants and lions.  

Music Week

 For music week, we were thinking about lots of different sounds and listening to "The Carnival of the Animals" by Saint-Saens.  The children practised moving like the different animals in the music.


The children used dried pulses to make their own shakers to play when we sang our favourite songs.

They decorated them with sparkles! 

Miss Jane played her ukulele for the class, and then the children joined in with their shakers.

Miss Jane brought her ukulele into school.

Tiger Faces

We have been reading about "The Tiger Who Came to Tea" and made our very own tiger faces.  As you can see, the children were encouraged to do as much by themselves as they could and that meant that every tiger face was different - just like us!

Hello and welcome to our new blog

Please be patient as it is the first time we have used this technology in this way.

September has been a very busy month with lots of new children and myself joining the Nursery.  Everyone is starting to feel much more settled and we have already been very creative!  We have been reading the story "Monkey Puzzle" and made pictures as well as our own monkeys!

Later in September we learned the story of "The Three Billy-Goats Gruff."  We painted trolls and made goats from the shapes that we have learned.
