We started to learn about division, doubling and halving in Maths. In English, we wrote a narrative about a little girl who found some bubbles on the beach, read and performed some poetry and we had a lesson on syllables which was fun!
This week, the children learned about night-time routines and explored who works while we sleep. They developed independence through self-care activities, practised oracy skills by guessing objects hidden inside socks and explored mathematical concepts by ordering and comparing teddy bears by size and height.
We have begun exploring our Starry Night topic, learning about day and night, bedtime routines and what happens when we fall asleep. The children have enjoyed discovering nocturnal animals and listening to lullabies as we continue to develop our understanding of the world after dark.
Multiplication and division Art lesson: Exploring shape and form Science: We investigated the properties of different materials. In English, we learned about adverbials of place and similes this week.
As part of our ongoing Winter Wonderland topic, the children rolled a dice, counted the dots and painted the matching number onto their icicles. This fun activity supported counting skills, number recognition and fine motor development through hands-on learning.
A wonderful first week back in nursery! We’ve launched our Winter Wonderland topic with imaginative Arctic animal play, maths-focused snowman art using different shapes, icy paint investigations and colourful snow outdoors. The children have also been developing their fine motor skills through winter pencil control activities.
In English, we have practised using expanded noun phrases. In Maths, we started learning about money. As part of Design and Technology, we designed and made a tasty and healthy meal.
Our final week before the Christmas holidays was full of festive fun and learning. The children discussed celebrations in their own lives, created reindeer food, and explored numbers through gingerbread counting activities. We also enjoyed a warm hot chocolate together, making it a calm and cosy end to a busy term.
Our Nursery Christmas party was filled with music, games, giggles and plenty of festive sparkle. The highlight of the day was a very special visit from Santa, which brought lots of excitement and smiles all round!
