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.

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!
