Nursery: Remembrance Day 11.11.25

WOW! We have has a beautiful day celebrating and remembering. Firstly this morning we watched videos on what Remembrance Day is and why we wear poppies. The children were so engaged and loved learning about this and many children we able to talk about this in their play.

The children spent the day creating and making poppies in many different ways such as with paint, collage, play dough, drawing, threading and finger painting.

I wonder if your child can talk about Remembrance Day and the significance of a poppy at home?

Nursery: Bonfire & Firework crafts

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.

Nursery: Firework dancing!

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.
