The children had an extra special day in Nursery yesterday making spooky artwork, mixing potions, collaging and creating Autumn inspired art using brown, green, yellow and orange paint.

Nursery have been pumpkin printing!
The children loved getting a little messy today. Firstly, we cut open the pumpkins and looked what was inside. We then explored what we could create when we dipped the pumpkins in paint. We talked about textures, patterns, marks and prints. Gorgeous work everybody and beautiful collaborative art!
Planning and building towers and castles in Nursery.
These children really impressed the Nursery grown ups today by carefully planning, negotiating, compromising and building towers and castles in harmony.
Well done! Wonderful team work and collaboration!

Marvellous maths in Nursery!
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?
Kindness week in Nursery
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.
Mental Health Awareness Day in Nursery
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.
Reception Reading Week
This week we got involved with the Reading is Magic Festival. We listened to the story Julian is a mermaid. A story of friendship, acceptance, celebration and expressing yourself.
We got to watch the real life author of the story read it to us, it was wonderful!
Well done Reception Crew
Mrs Wallace 😊
