Summer 2:

This half term Nursery have been learning about ‘Summer in the Garden’. First we talked about staying safe in the sunshine. We also talked about who had a garden at their house and what sort of things you can normally find in a garden. Then we started learning about all sorts of minibeasts. We have been reading ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric Carle and we are learning to retell the story using pictures and making our own ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar Books’. 
 
We have been learning about how to make collages and have made beautiful and colourful butterfly wings too! 
 
In maths we have been learning about capacity through water play outside which has been great fun! We’ve also been learning about size, length and weight. We have been doing some of our learning at home like measuring our toys with blocks, finding sticks in gardens and measuring and comparing the length of them.
