Our nursery rhyme this week has been Incy Wincy Spider. We have been singing the nursery rhyme, following the actions and drawing spiders with round bodies and 8 legs. We have done lots of counting to 8! Throughout the week we have made spiders out of salt dough with pipe cleaner legs and chalk pen smiles and eyes.

Argh! Its a Spider!

We also had great fun going on ‘web walks’ around the school grounds to see if we could find any spiders and their webs.

Throughout half term you may want to see if you can find any spiders webs near your home or in your garden, we would love to see your photos in nursery!

For our Mental health mufti day we all loved wearing non-uniform, nursery looked fabulous in yellow! Throughout the day we had lots of fun playing musical statues, making yellow collages and choosing our favourite activities to increase our happiness.

Recently in nursery we have been going to the new adventure playground for PE, we have had lots of fun being brave, learning how to jump and balance safely. We also began to negotiate space whilst travelling at speed and considering our nursery friends. Keep up the super effort throughout half term Nursery!

This week in nursery we have been celebrating harvest festival, for one of our activities we investigated fruit. We cut it in half, looked at it and talked about what we could see and smell. So we didn’t waste our fruit we used it to do some fruit printing, here are our harvest festival fruit printing pictures.

For other activities we have been looking at fruit and vegetables and identifying if they are fruits or vegetables.

Activities to try at home –

try counting fruit and vegetables that you have at home- remember to touch each one as you say the number.

Discussing if things are a fruit or vegetable.

Drawing fruit or vegetables – we would love to see your pictures in nursery!

Tasting fruit and vegetables in different forms- raw, cooked, baked etc.

Last week in nursery we focused on the Nursery rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep, we learned the song, looked at where wool comes from, how it is made and what we can make from wool. We made our hand print sheep for our learning journey books and for our fabulous display on the wall, it was a little tricky cutting the wool but we all tried our best and made super sheep!

Good afternoon, we hope you are well and looking forward to coming to nursery tomorrow, we have been busy tidying and organising the classroom to make sure everything is ready. We cannot wait to welcome you to St George’s School Nursery!
