Green

We have had a lovely week and have been thinking about things that are 'green'. Lots of children brought in green objects to show and were able to talk about them.

This week we made green friendship hands, by mixing blue and yellow together. One person had blue on their hand and the other had yellow and they rubbed their hands together. The children thought it was magic seeing the new colour appear. .

We made a green fruit salad by chopping cucumber, apple, grapes and kiwi. The children learnt how to hold a knife safely and chop the fruits into small pieces. We learnt the names of new fruits we didn't know and looked carefully at the seeds inside. Lots of the children were keen to try it during snack time.

We have been singing 'Ten Green Bottles' and watching what happens as one bottle falls over. The children have been trying to put the numbered bottles in order on the maths table.

In P.E. we pretended to be different green animals moving in different ways. The children enjoyed slithering like a snake and jumping like a frog.

Next week we will be continuing our 'green theme'.

Our rhyme of the week will be 'Five Green and Speckled Frogs.'

Our sound of the week is 'o'.

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
