Nursery

Welcome to Nursery with Mrs Walsh, Miss Collinson, Miss Tafani and Mrs Gibbons

Half Term 2

Story Maps:

We have been exploring story maps and how they can help us to retell the story we are reading.

       

Learning about Diwali:

We loved learning about Diwali and how it is the 'Festival of Lights'.  We read about Rama and Sita, made Diya lamps and created our own firework pictures!

                 

Phoincs:

Today we played a game where we had to follow the tapping pattern that the leader made.

                           

 

Straight back to squiggling:

We loved getting back to dancing and squiggling after the half term holiday.  There were lots of smiling faces when the music started playing and we made our marks.

                           

Half Term 1

Spotty Pumpkins:

We decorated some pumpkins with lovely spots as part of our Art work, inspired by the artist, Yayoi Kusama.

                 

Leaf Patterns:

We have noticed that the leaves are falling down!  We have been collecting leaves and looking at making patterns with them.  Sometimes we make the patterns by colour and shape, and sometimes we put them in a line.

         

Loud and Quiet sounds:

As part of our Phonics lessons, we went outside to try and make some different sounds.  We used a clave to tap on the fence, the floor, the wooden slide and lots of other things.  It was really good fun and we played this game for a very long time!

           

Listening Ears:

We played some circle games to work on our listening.  We had to copy songs and actions.  Some of us were very brave and even said our names!

                           

Our very frist week:

We have been exploring our classroom and making new friends!

                         

Squiggle Time:

We learnt how to 'Squiggle' which is a really fun way to help us with our writing.  We danced about and then made big squiggles on paper.
