Category: Nursery – St Mary – Mother of God

We continued looking at colours in maths this week and the children took part in some activities such as sorting colours and a colour hunt around the classroom.

On Thursday afternoon we took part in our first yoga lesson. The children did very well copying the moves on the screen and following the story of Betsy the Banana!

To help the children learn the names of their new friends, we played a game where we stood in the middle with our name cards and sang ‘name is in the den….’.

Welcome to the first Nursery blog children, parents and carers. Each week you will be able to see what we have been up to in Nursery as well as important reminders and updates.

I have been really impressed at how the children have started in Nursery, separating from their parents, changing into their plimsolls and getting to know the morning routine of finding their animal group!

I have uploaded some photos to each tapestry account, I can only upload once parents/carers have activated so if you haven’t done so already please have a look. Please let me know if you haven’t been able to activate your account.

Here are pictures from the first few weeks….

On Thursday morning we had a fire drill. The children listened for the sound and lined up with the grown ups. We walked sensibly out into the big play playground and lined up with the rest of the school! Well Done Nursery! Mrs Porter said how fantastic they were and came to Nursery with her special stickers!

Reminders

Children need a coat/jacket every day.

Children need a water bottle.

If children are having lunch, grapes need to be cut in half lengthways.

Book bags available from the office (£5.10).

On Wednesday we had a lovely time at our picnic and I think the teddy bears had a great time too! It was really nice to be outside eating our lunch in the sunshine.

And just like that this is the last blog…..

I cannot believe the year has finished and the children will be starting in Reception in September, it feels like only yesterday I opened the door for the first time way back in Autumn term. The children have learnt so much in their nursery year and it has been lovely to see how they’ve grown and changed – this morning we had a look at some photos I took from when they first started.

They really have been superstars this year and worked so hard!

Thank you so much for the generous gifts Miss Rowson and I have received.

I hope you all have a lovely and relaxing summer holiday. The children are ready for a big rest ready for Reception which will start for them on Wednesday 4th September.

On Thursday morning Nursery went next door to spend time with their new teacher in their new classroom! The children decorated a box which has a special message inside! The children said they had a great time playing in their new room and exploring the new resources.

Earlier in the week we had a go at drawing a minion! We watched and copied the drawing on the screen!

In RE this week we thought about how we could look after the world we live in. We talked about recycling, not leaving taps running and reusing plastic as much as we can. We went around the school on a litter pick and we found a lot of straw wrappers, paper, tissues, bottle tops, a magnifying glass, pens, pencils and lots of food wrappers. Well done Nursery.

On Wednesday we went to the library for the last time as Nursery. Next Wednesday the library books will be collected back in.

In maths this week looked at composition of numbers 3 and 4. We made these numbers in different ways using a variety of resources always recognising that the total was the same.

Now that summer term is here, why not visit the fish and chip shop, the children have enjoyed putting the fish and chips in the cones and sitting on the bench to eat them.

This week the children did an observational drawing of flowers in a watering Can. They worked really hard and now these beautiful pictures are up in the gallery in the cloakroom.

In RE we thought about being a friend of Jesus, we drew a picture of ourselves with Jesus.
