We have made new friends this week in nursery. We have enjoyed reading our favourite stories to each other.
We have started to identify what our names begin with and during arts and craft we created this wonderful piece of work. We practise to write our names and then decorated the first letter of our names.
We hope you all have a wonderful summer and see some of you in September in nursery. Good luck in reception!
Here are some of things we have been getting up to recently in nursery.
Wimbledon day!
We had a w
show about wimbledon. What it is, what they do.
The children used their fine motor skills to play 'pacman' which was a tennis ball capturing objects. The children then had to count how many their pac man had.
We coloured in some wimbledon sheets. The children said 'the tops need to be white not red'.
We then spent some of the day in the garden using a tennis racket and a tennis ball.
We have been learning about the life cycle of living things. First we had living eggs and we were very lucky to see the chicks hatch! We looked after them for 7 days and then said goodbye to them as they were taken back to a farm.
The children in the nursery have been very eggcited this week. We have been very lucky to observe tiny chicks hatch out of their egg shells. There are 9 eggs and 7 have hatched.
ction. As its summer, we have been playing with the sand. We have been really engrossed in a game called 'the floor is lava' where the children have built their own obstacle course so they do not touch the ground (lava). We have been role playing being builders and firefighters with the hose. A few of us had a walk on the field where we spotted apple trees, a bridge where we recreated 'the 3 billy goats gruff' story!
