Autumn Term 1
COLOURS
Week 2
7th - 11th September 2026

                                   This week it has been wonderful to have all the nursery children together.                                     We have been learning the daily routines and getting to know our teachers and peers.
Our colour focus this week is the colour red. We made red collages, developed our finger muscles by manipulating red dough and made marks using red crayons, pens, pencils and paint.

    
This week we have been matching and naming colours.

  

Our teachers read the stories; The Colour Monster’ and ‘Colour Monster Goes To School’ by Anna Llenas.

We created our own colour monsters by scraping paint with a fork, adding sticky eyes and a mouth.

   

These are displayed in the school for everyone to see.

We started our ‘My Happy Mind’ lessons and met the characters, Berty and Betty. This term we will be learning about our brains and how they help us to do everything! Please download the myhappymind app to find out more about our personal, social and emotional development programme which supports the children’s understanding of their emotions and wellbeing.

     

Next week our colour focus will be yellow and blue. We will continue to develop positive relationships with our peers and familiar adults and how to respond appropriately to the daily routine instructions.

Autumn Term
Week 1
1st - 4th September

Welcome to our Nursery, it has been lovely to meet all our children and families this week. We look forward to getting to know you all and giving the children lots of wonderful learning opportunities.

Meet Our Nursery Team:

Red Apple Class: Miss Lee, Miss Bishop and Miss Wiseman

Green Pear Class: Mrs Piper, Mrs Erdogan, Miss Parker and Ms Massey

The children have loved exploring their new learning environment and creating their first day handprint pictures which are on display in the nursery.

They have been learning which class carpet to sit on for registration, snack time and stories. Your child will sit on either Red Apple carpet or Green Pear carpet.

 

Alongside this; the children have had opportunities to meet and play with some of their new friends, both inside and outside in our lovely nursery garden. We explored a variety of free flow learning opportunities; covering maths, literacy, colour sorting, sensory play, exploring letters and using expressive art and design to create our own collages. As a group, the children came together for both singing and storytelling.

  

Next week we are looking forward to having all the children in together, establishing routines and completing activities linked to our class story, 'The Colour Monster goes to School.'

Our topic this half-term is All About Colours.
