We try hard to be kind every day in Nursery but today we’ve had a special focus on the topic. The children spoke about how to be kind in Nursery. They had some wonderful ideas such as “use kind words”, “be kind to our toys” and “share toys”.
We started the day with yoga to be kind to ourselves
In provision we focused on the colour green to match the NSPCC logo
Well done for being kind to each other and our classroom today
Have a wonderful half term everyone

The children have been working really hard to learn the names of 2D shapes and talk about their properties. The children have been creating shapes by constructing with lolly sicks and drawing them on the CleverTouch.
CHALLENGE – I wonder if you can go on a shape hunt at home and spot any squares, circles, rectangles and triangles? Can you talk about how many sides and corners the shapes have?
Today the children will be coming home with a pink heart written for someone special. We talked about how we can show kindness and share the love to make ourselves and someone else feel happy. The children came up with some lovely kind comments.
Today we shared the story ‘The huge bag of worries’ written by Virginia Ironside. We talked about what feeling worried means and how we can help ourselves and each other if we feel worried. We discussed how talking and sharing our worries with a grown up we trust can help the worries feel a little lighter.
Next week, we will be taking part in a week full of activities linking to Kindness. This is part of the NSPCC fundraising and awareness week.
We will be taking part in lots of fun activities during Crew each day and there will be lots of opportunities for children to complete Kindness Challenges at home too.
Next Friday, to raise money for the NSPCC, we will be holding a Non-Uniform Day for donations of £1.
To celebrate National Poetry Day the nursery children listened to the poem above “The Morning Rush” and spoke about our morning routines.
This afternoon we have been getting creative and drawing together. We’ve seen flowers, dogs, butterflies and aliens. What fantastic imaginations you all have Nursery!
Those who choose not to draw were busy building puzzles and playing in provision.
Nursery have loved exploring natural objects to count linked to our maths lessons. We have also been investigating fruit and vegetables linked to our Harvest Festival expedition learning this week. Elodie was a star and clearly explained “harvest is getting the food in from the farmer’s field”. The children then used the provision tray to count potatoes and peppers. Awesome learning and play Nursery Crew!
The children loved using acorns to create new textures and mix autumn themed colours.
Mr Mumby came to read the story of ‘Grumpycorn’ as our home time story to celebrate reading week. The children loved his visit. Thanks Mr Mumby!
