Jo Jingles

We had a wonderful session with Jo Jingles. We really enjoyed playing the musical instruments.

Outdoor Learning

Look at the fantastic outdoor play that has been taking place in the Nursery! The children are working collaboratively and having meaningful conversations. Most of all they are having fun whilst learning!

Pattern Day was extremely busy and lots of fun! Today we:

• identified and named a range of different patterns;
• created repeating pattern fruit kebabs, candy canes and Christmas lights;
• enjoyed a dance party and matching sock pattern game;
• had circle time and each child had the opportunity to talk about the patterns they were wearing.

To celebrate Friendship Friday we made gorgeous friendship bracelets to give to a friend. During this activity we discussed:

• how to be a good friend;
• the importance of treating everyone with respect;
• what to do if someone is unkind to you;
• how it feels when you give someone a gift;
• the importance of saying thank you.

This activity also helped us to develop our pincer grip and hand-eye co-ordination. 

Thank you to everyone that could attend the coffee morning. We hope you enjoyed it as much as the children did!

We made delicious carrot and lentil soup.

This involved learning about:

• the importance of vegetables in our diet;
• root vegetables and how they grow;
• food hygiene;
• knife safety.

During this activity we also:

• developed our hand strength by chopping;
• worked together;
• developed our counting skills.

This week our focus is how to be a good friend and to show kindness to everyone. We shared the books below and talked about how the characters in the book made a good friend. We then thought of things we do everyday to show we are a good friend.
