Keep up to date with all the news happening in school at the moment.
It has been wonderful to welcome the children back to nursery this week. We are so proud of all of them and think they have done so well to come back and follow the usual nursery routines. This week they have really enjoyed seeing their friends and we have observed lots of lovely cooperative play as they seek out others to share a range of experiences. Many children have been eager to get outside and explore our garden and some have started to notice the first signs of spring. Fairtrade Fortnight is between 22nd February and 8th March. We have been learning about what Fairtrade means, have set up our own Fairtrade shop and tasted some Fairtrade foods. Lots of interest in our role play shop as the children took on the roles of customer and shopkeeper. They are beginning to use mathematical language within their play as they explore money and amounts. There have been lots of questions about where our foods come from which has led to conversations about how we grow foods.
One of our Core Stories this half term is 'The Colour Monster' and the children have been learning to identify different feelings and emotions within the story. As they become more familiar with the story they are able to talk about what happens with confidence and link the emotions to events that are happening within the setting.
It has been a busy week in nursery. The children have been creating lovely cards and gifts for a special day on Sunday. We hope you like them! We have continued the interest in planting and have discussed what plants need to grow. The children have been on a spring walk and looked out for early signs of spring. Some of the children took photographs and have created a spring book for the other children to read. We have talked about the new life we see in spring time and the children have enjoyed using the farm small world to support their understanding. We have been trying to match animals to their young and are learning the names for these. The weather has been wet and windy at times and the children have been excited about exploring the water and puddles in the garden. They are developing their independence in putting on the waterproofs and we are encouraging everybody to have a go on their own first. The mud kitchen has been really popular with a mixture of mud pies, potions and soups! Lots of mathematical language being used as they select the appropriate size pans, discuss weight and capacity and talk about amounts. We have also enjoyed exploring watercolours in the art area this week and have experimented with colour and shade. The children are better understanding the process of using the watercolours and how it differs to our usual paints. We have continued to read our core readers for this term and have really enjoyed learning the spring songs. It has been lovely to welcome more children in the setting and we are really looking forward to getting to know them more 😊
