Look at Us Learning

This term in Nursery we have been focusing on settling in and making new friends. We started off learning all about ourselves, our body parts and we all made a self portrait. We also shared our likes and dislikes. 

We moved onto Transport where we made Traffic Light Jelly for snack and we all loved going through the car wash outside. 

We celebrate European Languages Day on the 26th September. We learned how to say hello in French, made French flags and tried Croissants for snack. 

We really loved our African drumming and Diwali Dancing workshops during our learning about Black History. 

Autumn B started with all things spooky with our 'spooky film night', pumpkin decorating, creepy cakes and scary dance moves! We continued the spooky theme throughout the week with a Potion Lab role play and lots of Halloween themed activities. We also made edible sparklers ready for Bonfire night. 

We decided to move on to learn about colours and colour mixing so we read the story Elmer. We also learned about patterns and tried to make our own ABAB pattern. 

For Children in Need we dressed up in our Pudsey Outfits, made cake stands, decorated biscuits and designed our own Pusdey Banner. 

We have started off the new term with a big focus on sharing. To help with this we read the book 'The Rainbow Fish' by Marcus Pfister. 

We also started to learn about number one and began to practise throwing and catching in our P.E lessons. 

We then moved on to learning about Chinese New Year. We tasted Chinese food, painted cherry blossom trees and tried to use chopsticks. There was even some unexpected snow this week!

We moved onto looking at homes and read the story Peace at Last by Jill Murphy. This helped us with our phonics as we tried to match sounds to objects. 

Then we read 'All Superheroes fight back.....or do they?' by Kate Thompson and we enjoyed dressing up, making bases and blasters. We even rescued superheroes from ice. 

As we started to learn about number 3 we read The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We enjoyed lots of building and creative activities around this theme. 

We started off this term by reading 'Lost and Found' by Oliver Jeffers. We coloured in our own boat, made a lost and found office and retold the story using story stones. We also celebrated World Book Day and we all came dressed as a different colour. We read 'Rain before Rainbows' by David Litchfield.
