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!
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?
WOW! Today has been jam packed with fun filled learning.
This week in nursery the children enjoyed learning about the story of creation and how this is a special story for christians. We had a sing and dance to a song and coloured in the favourite part of our story!
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!
This week in phonics we will be looking at the nursery rhyme ‘Twinkle twinkle’. The children will be singing the nursery rhyme, listening for rhyming words and clapping out syllables in the words such as s-k-y and s-t-ar.
I wonder – can you practise this rhyme with your child at home and listed for the rhyming words throughout?
The children have been working hard to represent numbers to 10 in different ways. The children have been working hard to practise their counting skills with objects.
I wonder… Can you practise counting objects at home? E.g 10 cars, 10 leaves, 10 sticks… take a photo and send it in to [email protected]

The nursery children enjoyed reading the story Dogger. Some children chose to draw the main character and talk about why he was special in the story. Other children chose to reenact the toy stall scene in the book using the role play toys.
Awesome work Nursery Crew! It is wonderful to see you linking the stories we have read to your play.
Last week the children enjoyed reading our expedition story ‘Dogger’ by Shirley Hughes. The children used play dough to create the main character ‘Dogger’, we practised our cutting/ scissor skills, mark made in shaving foam (this was a really fun way to write!) and we sang nursery rhymes and played parachute games. What a fun week we had!
Food safety advice for children age 5 and under – When sending your child with a packed lunch, please cut small round foods, like grapes, strawberries and cherry tomatoes, lengthways and into quarters. Cut large fruits like melon, and hard fruit or vegetables like raw apple and carrot into slices instead of small chunks.
Many thanks for your support.
