Nursery did! Last week the children were very excited that it had snowed, after wrapping up warm we ventured outside to work as a team to create a snowman on the nursery playground, the children discussed what they would like to use as features and excitedly gathered sticks for arms, a carrot for his nose and pine cones for his buttons and eyes.

Last week in nursery we have focused our learning on penguins and cold climates, we have shared many stories with penguins in and discussed their features. The children have loved the story ‘Lost and Found’ in which a little boy becomes friends with a penguin. We painted penguins and made toilet roll penguins to create our wonderful Lost and Found display.

In nursery we have been welcoming the new children and helping them with the routine of the day, we have also begun to learn about the season of winter with a focus of how to keep ourselves warm as the weather changes. The children have had a fabulous time extending their vocabulary while playing winter matching pairs.
 

Last week we went for our last session of the year in the woods, as we have all learned how to keep ourselves and our friends safe we had a campfire and ate some toasted marshmallows in digestive biscuits! We all had a great time discussing the things we like about Forest School and can’t wait to go again next year!

Last week in nursery we were very busy! We finished off our learning about space and began to decorate for Christmas. The children have had a brilliant time putting up the decorations, sharing Christmas stories and have loved beginning to use our new Christmas activity stations.

Last week we focused on Aliens and space, the children enjoyed the stories we shared, they counted aliens in a flying saucer, developed their vocabulary on colours and features when playing alien matching pairs while learning to taking turns with their friends and made their own aliens to play with on our space investigation station!
