This week we looked at some amazing firework displays online and the children were excited to tell me about the ones they had been to see over the weekend! In the classroom this week the children had the opportunity to make their own fireworks using chalk and black paper.

On Wednesday the children had their photographs taken so we practised smiling. The Nursery children really enjoyed sitting with their siblings while they waited for their turn.

We had hot chocolate this week! Yum! We had a go at pouring the hot chocolate ourselves!

Today we talked about why today, November 11th is an important day. The children learnt we wear a poppy to remember those who had died in war. The children watched a video about Poppy’s and had the chance to make one of their own.

Today we went up the stairs to visit the new library. The children were very excited to have a look at all the new more books and I know they enjoyed sitting in the new seating area. Enjoy reading the books at home.

We are continuing to look at Baptism next week, please remember to bring in any photos in as it would be nice for the children to share them with us.

Have a lovely weekend!

What a busy week we have had in nursery! This week we looked at the story ‘Pumpkin Soup’ by Helen Cooper which tells the tale of three friends who live together and make pumpkin soup. The cat, the duck and the squirrel each have different job to do in order to make the soup delicious but one day the duck decides he would like to do something different.

We had pumpkins in Nursery this week, the children observed as the pumpkins were opened and then had a feel of what was inside! The children had the opportunity to explore the pumpkin independently during learning through play. The children also had an area where they could make their own pumpkin soup – yummy!

We went into the hall to do some yoga, it was a bit tricky but we managed to copy all of the yoga moves.

Winter Warmer Wednesday!

On Wednesday we had our first Winter Warmer Wednesday! For snack we had hot chocolate and a biscuit – it was lovely to sit round the table and have a chat!

The children have been getting use to playing in other areas of the Nursery including the outside idea!

Please remember to bring in any Baptism photos you may have at home – it would be lovely if the children could share them with us.

Have a lovely weekend

Harvest

This week the nursery children went to an assembly for the first time – the Harvest Festival assembly! The children have been rehearsing their song ‘Crunching Through the Leaves’ for the past couple of weeks and they did a fabulous job standing and singing on the stage in front of a very large audience. Well done Nursery.

On Tuesday we went out onto the field to collect leaves to make crowns and on Wednesday we had fun using lots of glue to make the leaves stick!

Winter Warmer Wednesday

Now that it’s starting to turn a bit colder we think we deserve something nice to warm us up! So each Wednesday between now and February half term the children will be able to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and a biscuit on a Wednesday as part of their snack. Delicious!

After half term PE will be on Monday mornings and Wednesday afternoons!

We will also be thinking about Baptism in RE – if you have any baptism family photos please bring them in to share.

The children have worked really hard this half term and I hope you have a lovely break. Please don’t forget to post what you get up to on Tapestry and fill out those magic moments!

Welcome to our class page. We hope you enjoy seeing all the fantastic learning we have been doing in Nursery!

Settling in and exploring

The children have spent the beginning of this term settling in and exploring their new surroundings. They are getting more familiar with the routines happening throughout the day and are beginning to make friendships within the class.

Autumn Walk

As part of our topic ‘Autumn’ we went on an autumn walk around the school field. We wanted to find signs of autumn and used a checklist to help us, we had to hold our clipboard very carefully and tick off what we found outside.

A Special Celebration

Our lovely school had a birthday and to celebrate we planted some flowers around the birthday tree. Happy 60th Birthday St Adrians.

Welcome to St Adrian’s Post Office

The children were excited to come to school this morning because today was the opening of our new role play area – The Post Office! We talked about what you can do when you visit a post office and watched a small video of customers weighing and sending parcels and letters. The children enjoyed playing in our new role play today.

We have been singing every day our song for the Harvest Festival Assembly which will take place on Thursday 20th at 9:15am, thank you so much for the donations that have already come into school.

Have a lovely weekend.
