Nursery go on an autumn adventure ..!

Another week has flown by in Nursery class and as always a fun and busy one!

We began looking at signs of autumn by going on an autumn adventure in our outdoor area and around our school, which the children thoroughly enjoyed!  We looked at the leaves changing colour, their different shapes and the different types of weather we are having. In our classroom we have an autumn table with leaves, acorns, conkers, different coloured pumpkins and pine cones. The children have enjoyed using magnify glasses and using all their senses to explore all these signs of autumn. 🍂 

In maths we have been continuing with our counting and rhyme songs to support our rote counting. Nursery really enjoy number blocks so we have being using the unifix cubes to support with our maths work on quantity. 

In literacy we have begun reading 'The leaf thief’' it is an autumnal story based on a squirrel who thinks the other animals are stealing his beautiful leaves, while he tries to find out who is stealing them he finds out how the world takes on different colours for each season.

In R.E we have been looking at our class Saint, Saint Nicholas. We discussed all the special acts of kindness Saint Nicholas did especially for children and how he would help many poor children by leaving them gifts.  Nursery class made their own gifts which we have displayed in class. We also discussed gifts are not always a toy or something you can see but can be acts or gifts of kindness, helping someone, sharing, showing care and love.

In our continuous provision we have been continuing to practice our cutting skills, strengthening our fine motor skills through the support of play dough and puzzles and using our imagination skills in our small world play.

Please do remember to have a look at your child’s dojo as it will give you a snapshot of some of your child’s learning happening each week.

A big well done to our stars of the week 🤩🤩

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Vinci & Mrs Direnzo
