Nursery

This half term our nursery class have been settling into their new school, learning our rules and routines, making new friends and having lots of fun. The children have been enjoying nursery rhymes such as Incy Wincy Spider, Miss Polly had a Dolly, I’m a little Teapot and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. We invited parents and carers in to nursery where we performed our rhymes and completed activities together such as making spider models, decorating teapots and making glittery stars. We have shared lots of stories at carpet time and enjoyed our Big Read together on a Friday morning. We have enjoyed Yoga sessions where we have learnt a special word, ‘Namaste’! In our literacy lessons, we have been reading the story of “Pete the Cat” which the children have really enjoyed retelling. During Phonics sessions, we have been learning tongue twisters and listening for words that start with the same sound. The children have been singing lots of number songs and rhymes together and they have learned all about number one and number two in their maths lessons. Nursery have also been exploring Autumn and the seasonal changes that are happening at the moment. They went on an Autumn walk where they collected leaves and conkers, spotted squirrels and birds and sang some fun Autumn themed songs too. The children have been making playdough hedgehogs and Autumn fairies with the items they found on the walk.  They have been active in our hall time were they have taken part on music and movement activities with action rhymes, instruments and ribbon dancing.
