Chinese New Year 2021 - The Year of the OX











Author spotlight! - Julia Donaldson. We have enjoyed exploring stories written by Julia Donaldson at nursery and at home.



















Fairy Tales - Over the last few weeks we have been focussing on some traditional stories. We enjoyed role playing the characters and learnt the phrases 'Once upon a time' and 'they lived happily ever after'
























Snow Day Fun! We have had lots of fun exploring the snow. The children used words like crunchy, deep, sparkly, glittery, white, happy and cold to describe the snow and how it made them feel. We observed footprints and shadows, made snow angels and tried to build with the snow. The snow on the hill in nursery made a wonderful slide! We then went inside to warm up with some yummy hot chocolate and a biscuit. What a fantastic day!
Christmas Party Day! The children all had a fantastic time at our party to celebrate Christmas. Have a peaceful christmas and we look forward to welcoming you all back in the new year.
Advent Day – We have been learning the story of the Nativity, counting down the days until Jesus’s birth. We have made advent wreaths and completed some cutting and sticking of the characters from the story. The children played with small world models of the nativity to consolidate their understanding of this important religious story.
















Baptism – We looked at artefacts from the rite of Baptism. The children role played the different roles within a baby’s baptism.








November Fun!














Poppy Day and Harvest – We looked at how the Queen commemorates Poppy Day and we made poppies. The children role played a ‘Fruit and Vegetable shop’ using real produce. This was a great opportunity to look at size, weight, texture as well as understanding how the different roles of people in a shop i.e. customers, checkout staff etc.









Diwali and Firework Celebrations – The children learnt the story of Rama and Sita, the Hindu story of Diwali. The children made Diya’s using clay. They also moved to music pretending to be fireworks whooshing and zooming through the sky.

















Handa-surprise Week







Look at what we have been doing in Nursery


































World Book Day - The children came to nursery dressed as characters from stories they have at home. The Nursery adults dressed as the characters from one of our favorite traditional tales The three little pigs. The children became the narrators and recalled the story. The grown-ups acted out the story, following the children’s direction. We had a fun day!
RE During Lent - We started this term thinking about Anna and Simeon meeting Baby Jesus for the first time in the Temple. We enjoyed acting out the story. On Shrove Tuesday we made and ate pancakes. They were yummy! The following day we considered what promises we could make during Lent to help others. We hung our promises on the Lenten Tree.
Fairy Tales and Traditional Stories - Over the first half of Lent term we have been looking at lots of stories. Some of the children’s favorites were Jack and the Beanstalk, The Little Red Hen, The Gingerbread Man, The Three Little Pigs and stories of Princesses and Princes.
