Nursery – Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

Last week, the children loved learning about Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We read the story, talked about the characters and their actions and then enjoyed lots of 3 bear themed provision. We were making bears with play dough, sensory playing using oats, role playing the story, following instructions to bake baby bear shaped bread and painting the characters from the story.

Awesome work Nursery Crew!

Nursery – Learning focus this week

This week in phonics we are singing ‘The Wheels on the bus’ with emphasis on onomatopoeia. The children worked really hard today and I was impressed with how many were able to give me an example of a word that sounded like the action. E.g. swish, stomp, clap, beep.

In Literacy and expedition we are reading the story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ and focusing on how Goldilocks was not kind in the story and how she could have made better choices. Here we are today enjoying reading the story in the Autumn sunshine whilst we had our afternoon snack.

In maths we are looking at how we can create repeating patterns using 2 and 3 objects. I wonder…can you have a go at creating your own repeating pattern at home?

You could use toys, cars, leaves, sticks, conkers – anything you fancy!

Nursery – singing with Geoff

What a wonderful start to our day! Geoff and Hedgerly the Hedgehog came to visit our Nursery to compose the the opening line to our new Green Top School song. The children all worked hard to think of words they associated with ‘belonging’ and ‘kindness’. We can’t wait for you to hear our song…it is very special!

Nursery – Kindness wands

Today we went for an Autumn walk to collect sticks and leaves. The children then practised their scissor skills to snip leaf confetti. Using the sticks we attached cardboard stars using tape and decorated them with our leaf confetti and added a touch of glitter to add a little magic and sparkle.

Our wands resemble kindness and that we all have kindness magic inside of us. How will you spread kindness today?

Pyjama Day in Nursery

The children are having a lovely day in Nursery having a teddy bears picnic and explaining why their teddies are special to them. Mrs Hay and Mrs Burton even brought and talked about their very old teddies too!
