How wonderful to have all the nursery children at school together this week!
The children have been learning our daily routines and expectations and how to share the resources and toys with their new friends.

We started our topic, ‘All About Colours” by learning about the colour red. The children thought of things that they know are red and hunted around the nursery environment for red objects, made red collages and used red crayons, pens and pencils to create pictures and make marks.

 
They counted and sorted objects into groups using the criteria, red and not red.

We have had our first P.E. lessons in the hall with our P.E. coaches; Coach Jack, Coach Andrew, Coach Sonny and Coach Josh.

 

 

We looked at ourselves in a mirror and talked about our facial features before drawing our first self-portraits.

   

We also tried to read and write our own names.

 
Next week, the children will continue to develop their friendships, listening skills, turn-taking and sharing skills, and will be learning the colours yellow and blue.

 

 

 

 

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, Mrs Andrew and Mrs Bevan

Green Pear Class: Mrs Piper, Miss Bishop and Mrs Carter

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

The children 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.
