Firework crafts underway here in Nursery. Lots of wonderful conversations about colour, sparkles, dark and light and onomatopoeia words such as ‘bang, pop, fix, shoot’. The children have also been looking like scientists and sketching like artists when creating observational drawings of the pumpkins.
Today we have enjoyed listening to songs and dancing with scarves and imagining we are shooting up to the sky like fireworks! I think you can tell from the children’s faces how much they enjoyed this gross motor and expressive arts activity. Some children chose to also play instruments to make ‘bang’ sounds just like a firework.
This week we are talking about fire safety and enjoying dressing up, role playing fire fighters and painting bonfires. We have been learning about Guy Fawkes and the British celebration of Bonfire Night and the meaning behind it.
Dear all Parents & Carers,
A reminder to all that you MUST apply via the Doncaster Council Website (see below) for your child’s school Reception place. Children in Nursery DO NOT automatically receive a place in Reception if they already attend Green Top Nursery.

We had such fun at our disco this afternoon. We had lots of dancing and spending time with our friends making memories!
What a great way to spend our afternoon.

We were so inspired by Mr Pickles rock and drumming session last week that we thought we would have a try for ourselves in our classroom. It was super noisy but soooo much fun!
We loved it and will definitely do it again! Well done everyone for having such a good go!

Thank you to our school counsellors Addison, Aurora and Mia for coming to read with some nursery children this afternoon. It was a lovely treat!
We had a wonderful time at our phonics drop in. We tried lots of activities and were excited to show our grown ups what we do in our phonics sessions.
A huge thank you to all of the grown ups who could attend. We hope it will be useful in supporting you to support your children with their phonics learning.

This week, the children have been looking at the harvest celebration and what it means. Thank you to all the parents, carers and children who brought in fruits and vegetables for us to explore using our senses in Nursery. The children have also been using their maths knowledge of size and weight to describe and compare the foods.
A big shout out Rowan who proudly brought in a big box of home grown produce from his Nanny’s garden.
