Autumn Term 2018

This half term our topic is….
Why do you love me so much?

The children will explore;
-All about me and what is special about me?
-Our families and friends.
-How people are the same and different.
-How do we show that we care?

We will also begin to look at Autumn and the Fair!
-----------------------------------------
We will also be looking at British Values and the nursery children will focus on the importance of following rules to keep them safe and happy.

"British Values" are reinforced through our exciting, enriched curriculum.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have had a very busy few weeks already and all of the new children have settled in well. We have been thinking about what makes us special and who is in our family. We have been very busy making new friends, drawing and painting and baking heart shaped biscuits!

Our topic this half term is called

Is it shiny?

We will be exploring what is shiny and what is not shiny.

We will be looking at the properties of materials and trying to describe different textures.

We will be looking at mirrors and reflections.

We will be looking at things that glow.

Finally, we will be getting ready for Christmas!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have already had a busy first week back at Nursery.

We really enjoyed our Autumn Celebration Day (despite the rain!)

We had lots of fun inside and outside. We made Autumn flags, we decorated a leaf shaped biscuit, we stuck real leaves onto painted trees and hedgehogs but the most fun we had was when we played outside with all of the fallen leaves!

We have had lots of fun at our Christmas Workshop.

Lots of parents came and helped with all of our Christmas Craft Activities.

We made a glittery bauble, a super snowman, a very sparkly Christmas Tree and had lots of fun playing in the 'snow', reading Christmas stories, building a home for the sad reindeer and colouring lots of Christmas pictures.

This half term our topic is called 'Where does snow go?'

This exciting topic includes:

looking for signs of winter.

exploring ice and snow.

melting and freezing.

helping animals over the winter months (including making a hedgehog house and making fat balls for the birds).

looking at cold colours and colour mixing.

We have enjoyed our first few weeks back after Christmas. We have had some new children come to join us and they have settled in really well.

We have been very busy. We have talked about the signs of Winter but have been waiting for it to get really cold and icy before we go exploring.

We have learnt a song about snowflakes and have been learning about cold colours. We have had fun colour mixing with cold colours and have been surprised by the results.

This week we have read the book - 'One Winter's Day' and really enjoyed it. We have been outside collecting sticks and twigs to make a new home for Little Hedgehog as well as designing him a new hat and scarf. We have talked about being kind and we have worked together to make some fat balls to help the birds over the Winter months.

We are now very excited (and waiting) for some snow!!

Look at our pictures to see what fun we have been having!!

This half term our topic is called ........

'Are Eggs Alive?'

We will be looking at..........

- signs of Spring (weather, trees, blossom and flowers)

- animals and their babies

- life cycles (frogs & butterflies)

- Easter celebrations

- Eggs

Our first day back after February half term and we were very excited to be able to play outside in the sunshine. We had great fun on the bikes and the slide and just running and playing with our friends (although we did get a little bit dirty). Look at some of our photos below.

Another busy week in nursery.

This week we have had pancake day! We had great fun mixing the ingredients and tasting the pancakes. We made some pancakes out of play dough and had fun flipping them and catching them.

It has also been World Book Day this week. On Friday we had some amazing book character costumes in nursery.

We have been very busy this half term. We have been looking for signs of Spring. We have been learning about life cycles and baby animals and as a special treat we have had some animals come to visit us. It was very exciting and we were allowed to hold and stroke them.
