Hello everybody it’s that time of the week again where we get to share with you the wonderful things your children have been doing in nursery. This week started with us talking about bonfire night and we asked the children if they had seen or heard any fireworks. Thanks to those parents that sent in pictures they were a great talking point. We made some firework pictures of our own, using glitter and glue. These were amazing.
The children were keen to tell us all about the fireworks they had seen. Some used words like loud and crash, it was a very good chance to learn new language. We continued with fireworks and the children enjoyed making sparklers and other pictures.
We talked about the safety aspects of holding a sparkler.
The children have been doing lots of pencil control activities and cutting skills. The children are learning to hold their pens and scissors correctly and safely.
We even use the scissors in the dough, which is soft.
We wanted to explore some of the things you may do on bonfire night so we talked about some foods we may eat at a bonfire, we ate hot dogs in the forest.
Thursday was remembrance day, we talked about what it meant to wear a poppy. We made poppy biscuits, and used red icing and chocolate buttons . We also did the two minutes silence in the big playground.
General exploring this week included mark making and outside, also building with the blocks. Your children are delightful!
We have used lots of sound talk with Fred the frog this week . You can see Fred on you tube. The children are learning to blend sounds together, this is all part of their early reading.
Nursery hippos have been to Jack and Nikols house.
We have no star of the week this week, instead we have a Christian distinctive award for generosity, which we have chosen Tyler. Well done to you.
Next week is nursery rhyme week and even though we sing rhymes dally we will be looking at different rhymes throughout the week.
Your children are amazing, and thank you for sharing them with us.
The nursery team.
