This week the children are learning to create repeating patterns. Here are a few examples of some awesome Nursery maths work.
Pattern making in Nursery

Nursery – Learning focus this week
This week in phonics we are singing ‘The Wheels on the bus’ with emphasis on onomatopoeia. The children worked really hard today and I was impressed with how many were able to give me an example of a word that sounded like the action. E.g. swish, stomp, clap, beep.
In Literacy and expedition we are reading the story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ and focusing on how Goldilocks was not kind in the story and how she could have made better choices. Here we are today enjoying reading the story in the Autumn sunshine whilst we had our afternoon snack.
In maths we are looking at how we can create repeating patterns using 2 and 3 objects. I wonder…can you have a go at creating your own repeating pattern at home?
You could use toys, cars, leaves, sticks, conkers – anything you fancy!

Nursery – singing with Geoff
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!
Nursery – Kindness wands
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?
American Themed Day. . . part 2
We also had the opportunity to learn some line dancing in the hall with Mrs Raynor. It was tricky in some parts but we all did our best and it was amazing!!
Shout out to Mrs Raynor for teaching us how to line dance and for making our morning so exciting and special.
Well done everyone.

American Themed Day
Wow!Wow!Wow! What an exciting day we had today! We were all dressed up in red, white and blue. We began our day with a bit of rock music courtesy of Mr Pickles and his guitar. We had a great time dancing and cheering to all of his songs.
We enjoyed the music! Big shout out to Mr Pickles for a great start to the day!

Reception PJ and Story Day.
On Wednesday, we had our Pyjama and story day. We had so much fun sharing our favourite books that we had brought from home with our friends.
As it was reading week, we even had time for some story yoga!
What a wonderful day!

Pyjama Day in Nursery
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!
Reading Week in Reception
We have been embracing everything reading this week to celebrate Reading Week. Yesterday we enjoyed visits from the school council to read us a story and Mrs Shaw came to read to us too!! We have been so lucky!
We have also been trying lots of reading activities in our classroom provision this week and we have enjoyed reading our Expedition text ‘The smartest giant in town.’
We have lots more things to do to celebrate our Reading and we can’t wait for our Pyjama day tomorrow.
Don’t forget to bring your stories to share with your friends.

Reading Week in Reception
We were so lucky that we had some older children from further up school come to read us some stories in our classroom.
We had so much fun listening and thought that the girls were very brave to come and read to a whole class of children.
Well done everyone, we really enjoyed it
