Occupations

This week the children have been learning about different occupations. We have had a fire station role play outside and a fire station in the small world. The children have also enjoyed playing in the restaurant role play. The children talked about the different jobs their grown-ups did and talked a little bit about what they would like to do when they are grown up. The children would like to find out more about what jobs their grown ups do.

Afternoon Nursery had a visit from Isabel's Dad who came in to talk about being a firefighter. He showed us his uniform and the children enjoyed trying on his helmet and jacket.

In Maths this week we have been thinking about positional language and used objects from the rhyme 'Hey Diddle Diddle' to put in different places as well as give instructions to others. We have enjoyed singing the Nursery Rhyme.

We have had cornflour and water in our outside area and the children have been fascinated with it; stirring it, scooping it and making tracks in it. They thought it looked like snow.

Next week it is Nursery Rhyme Week so we will be singing the rhymes Old King Cole, Wind the Bobbin Up and Hickory Dickory Dock. We will be seeing if we can help Humpty Dumpty by testing different materials as he falls off the wall.

Our sound of the week will be 'i'.

    It's lovely to read what the children have been up to, William loved all the fire station role play. William had a great time doing the woodland walk this week. It was lovely to see all of the nursery am children in the Beech class sharing assembly on Friday - they all sat so well.

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
