Harvest

We have had another busy week in nursery, making play dough, biscuits and pasta necklaces, painting and colouring.


                                                                       

Have a great half term holiday and 

we look forward to seeing you  7th November.

Preparing for harvest

In preparation for Harvest Festival next week we have been learning new songs this week. 

Let's Harvest

Harvest Samba

We have continued with autumnal and harvest themed activities  which have included painting with conkers, hand leaves and carving pumpkins.

                                                              

                                                                                 

We have also been learning the story of The Three Little Pigs

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

We have made the characters to help retell the story.

This week have been reading Room on the Broom again and learning to be different characters from the book using masks.

Our autumn board has been filled with even more work that the children have worked hard to produce. 

They have made characters using a leaf, created 3D bats and used their fingers to paint leaves on trees. Well done, nursery!

Autumn 2017

This week we have been focusing on the change of season as we enter autumn. The children have enjoyed making colourful autumn leaves, printing with apples and making a hedgehog using triangular shaped paper.

We have been learning the song:

The Dingle Dangle Scarecrow

and

Harvest Samba

Chalk drawing

Dinosaurs

As some of our children showed a great interest in dinosaurs recently, we decided to use that as the theme for our learning in Nursery.  

Here are some of the activities that we did.

We looked at some dinosaurs and made pictures of them using paper shapes.

If you look very carefully, you can see the dinosaur cave in the background, with dinosaur footprints on it.

We used paper plates to make representations of dinosaurs.

We put together some dinosaur skeletons.

We updated our number line to fit in with our dinosaur topic.

We practised cutting out different dinosaurs and writing our own names on our work.

Here are some songs that we have been listening to.

Easter

This week we have been very busy preparing for Easter.  We have been reading stories about eggs, chicks and rabbits.  We made lots of different craft items and performed a song to the rest of the school in assembly.  Have a look at all the things we made!

The Easter Bunny came to school!

We printed Easter egg shapes onto our Easter cards, using a potato masher!  

We used our hands and toes to make our chicken decorations.

We used corks to print designs onto egg shaped paper.

We used coloured paper to collage pictures of some of the things we think about at Easter time.

We used tissue paper to make translucent window decorations in the shape of eggs.

We enjoyed using the special extra messy paints to colour real eggs.  We had to rub the paint all over the egg with our hands.

At Easter time we usually have special treats to celebrate the end of Lent.  We prepared some treats of our own to eat at home.  

First we mixed up the ingredients to make sure that everything was covered in the runny chocolate.

Here are the finished cakes - we think they look delicious!

Yummy!

Here are the entries into the school Easter Egg decorating competition which took place on Friday.  There were lots of beautiful and creative ideas.  Well done to all the children who took part.

Farm Animals

This week we started looking at farm animals.  The children painted and drew their favourite animals.  They talked about their favourite animals and their favourite farm stories.

We read some books about farms.

We made our own sheep.

We made some big jigsaws.

We learned some great songs.  The children added their own animals into the songs and thought of the sounds they would make.  Click on the pictures to learn and sing them!
