Rainbows

We have had great fun this week trying to make Rainbow patterns. We put some food colouring in milk and watched what happened when we touched them with a little bit of washing up liquid. The colours all moved around making different patterns.

We made some pictures using marbling ink. Andre thought his picture looked like "plankton that blue whales eat" and Isabel said hers reminded her of the Starry Night picture. The children were able to predict what they thought would happen to the colour of the water.

In P.E. we used the scarves and our bodies to try and make rainbow shapes.

The children enjoyed using real money to buy their snack on Number Day.

Our Learning Wood Animals went home with some of the children this week. These are given to children who have shown some great learning skills. Freya took home Butterfly because she was so proud of the enclosure she had made. Mason took home Squirrel for his exploring skills in the milk experiment. Jay took home Hedgehog for his pretending skills in the Doctor Role Play. Thomas Mills took home Badger because he showed good concentration. We hope that they demonstrate these skills at home too.

Next week our colour is orange and we will be learning about volcanoes.

Our sound of the week is 'k'.

On Wednesday there will be no P.E. as we will be going to Woodlands so please ensure your child has wellies and a waterproof suit in school.

Sharing Assembly

We had a lovely week in Nursery and are feeling very proud of how the children performed in their sharing assemblies. They spoke clearly and enjoyed singing the songs. We hope you enjoyed coming to watch. In Learning through Play this week we have been busy trying to wrap 'presents' in the creative area. We painted pictures of Father Christmas and Rudolph. In the water tray we have enjoyed exploring the fake snow. Next week we will be continuing to learn about Christmas and will be doing some maths problem solving. We will be reading 'The Nutcracker'. In Phonics we will be playing some listening games.

Volcanoes

We have had such a fun week learning about volcanoes. We mixed water, washing up liquid, red colouring and bicarbonate of soda in a bottle. It went a bit bubbly. When we added some vinegar it 'exploded' and looked like a volcano. We also found out about volcanoes by looking at a book about volcanoes. We thought about the questions we wanted to find the answers to and found some fun facts. We found out that lava comes out of a volcano and that some volcanoes are sleeping. We loved watching a video clip of a volcano erupting and watching the lava move along the ground. It was Internet Safety Week this week so we found out how to keep safe when using technology online. We watched a powerpoint about Smartie the Penguin and learnt this song; Before you click, click, click You need to think, think, think and Tell someone. The children were good at being able to say they need to tell a grown up if they see something they are not sure about online. We went to Woodlands even

Growing and Monet

This week we have been learning about the artist Monet. We found out that he lived a long time ago, had a big beard, lived in a pink house and painted by making splodges. We liked looking at one of his waterlily paintings and read the story Katie and the Waterlily Pond. In the Creative Area we used blue, green and lilac tissue paper to collage a background to look like the pond. We cut out lily pads and folded tissue paper on top to make the lilies. Our tadpoles are continuing to grow and by the end of the week we could see some tiny legs growing out the back of the tadpoles. Sophia watched Mrs Keith clean the tadpoles out and she was very concerned that she didn't frighten them. Our plants have been growing in the greenhouse and we have been making sure we have been looking after them by watering them. Some were getting too big for the yoghurt pots so we replanted them. Freya noticed that the plants had roots at the bottom. Reception have been looking after some eggs this we
