Well done to everyone who made a Snowman for our competition they were amazing.

A big well done to Harleen who was chosen by the ECO squad as our winner ?

In Nursery we have began our preparations for Christmas. We have decorated our tree and have began making our cards and calendars ready to bring home at the end of term. We have used a variety of media to create our Winter display. Each day we choose someone who has been working really hard to open a door of our Advent calendar.

This week we have been acting out and retelling the story ‘We are going on a bear hunt’ We had lots of fun acting the story out on the school field and even found a bear!

We all joined in the ring game ‘here we go round the Mulberry bush’ as we explored the frost on the field.

We have been reading the story ‘We are going on a bear hunt’ written by Michael Rosen. We have been recalling the story and joining in with the repeated refrains. We have acted out the story using props and made up our own actions.

Using bears we have played ‘Where is the bear?’ using the prepositions on, inside, under, next to and behind. You could practice these at home using a teddy bear and empty cardboard box.

We are reading the story ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen, here is a link to the story read by Michael Rosen himself.

We have had a very busy week, this week. We have learnt all about the festival of Diwali and watched the story of Rama and Sita. We had lots of fun on Math’s day playing number and shape games and singing number rhymes. We learnt about Poppy day and had a minutes silence to remember and thank all the soldiers and we have had a fun filled Pudsey day for Children in Need.

This week we have been learning about Bonfire Night, why we celebrate it and how to keep ourselves safe. We have explored different ways of using paint to create firework work pictures including splash painting, using cotton buds and using spray bottles. We have read the story called Sparks in the sky (Twinkl) and made chocolate sparkles – they were delicious.

Over the last 2 weeks we have been learning about Autumn and exploring the changes in the environment at this time of year. Here are some of the activities we have done.
