Autumn Term in Nursery

 Autumn Term in Nursery

We have had a fun and busy half term settling into Nursery.  We have been learning about school routines and activities and enjoying exploring our new indoor and outdoor classrooms.  

Enjoy looking at these photographs showing some of the fun we have had this half term.

Exploring with water and boats on the ramps

Talking on the phone in the mud kitchen

Reading and sharing books

Making ramps and platforms to balance along

Exploring puddles is fun

We go outside in all types of weather!! Wellie boots are a must!

We have learnt about sharing this half term.

Moving like different animals in PE lessons.  We have also been learning to be independent when taking our shoes and socks off!

Fun Day Photos

 Summer Fun Days in Nursery

Last week we enjoyed our fun days in Nursery.  We had a summer theme and made ice-cream, blew bubbles and made summer crowns which we took home.  We also tried some samba dancing. We hope you enjoy the photos we took!

Learning a new dance!

Making bubbles is great fun!

Shaking the ice-cream ingredients in a bag of ice and salt to quickly freeze it!

Ice-cream and bananas-yum!

We enjoyed eating the ice-cream we had made ourselves!

Spring Flowers

In Nursery each week we have been learning the name of a plant or flower found in our school grounds.  These are the flower names we have learnt so far.  Next time you go for a walk, see if you can spot any of these flowers.....

Daisy

Celandine

Muscari

 

Dandelion

bluebells

 

 We worked with a partner to spot the flowers and tick off on our sheets

 We made some nature mandalas using materials we found including sticks, leaves, pebbles and petals.  You could make one of your own at home!

Art Week

 We really enjoyed Arts week this week in Nursery.  

We learnt about a famous artist called Jackson Pollock.  He made his paintings using a technique he called 'action painting'.  He put his canvas on the floor so he could move around it and worked from all sides.  He used sticks and kitchen items like a spatula and turkey baster to drip, drizzle, spread, splat and splash paint onto his canvas.

This week we made our own 'Jackson Pollock' style paintings.  Have a look at our very own art gallery below!
