The children in Nursery planted their own bean seeds. They watered them carefully and are looking forward to watching them grow over the coming weeks.
Early Years
Nursery Making Porridge
In Nursery we have been reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears and decided to make some porridge. The children weighed the oats and measured the milk before mixing them together and waiting for it to heat up. The children enjoyed tasting their porridge, with some of them coming back for seconds!
EYFS chicks
We have had a very exciting 2 weeks in Early Years with the arrival of some eggs. Children guessed what animal would be inside the eggs- some who were hoping for a dragon or dinosaur were a little disappointed when chicks started to hatch. Children then observed the changes from egg to chick and recorded these in their own egg to chick diary. We learnt about how baby animals grow and the things needed to help keep animals happy and healthy. Children helped feed the chicks and even got to hold one with very gentle hands, we also did other chick themed activities and made our own chick biscuits.
EYFS Fire Service Visit
We have been learning about people who help us. Today, Reception had a very special visit from the fire service! We learnt about fire safety, got to go in the fire engine and have a look around it!
Police Week
In Reception we had our very own crime scene! Someone had come into the classroom and made a huge mess in our home kitchen. PC Ringwood, PC Cross and PC Hann were to hand though and helped the children lead an investigation based on the clues left by the culprit. Children went around the school and asked all adults if they knew anything about the crime. We had lots of fun with the police themed activities of taking fingerprints, making police cars from the junk modelling and measuring footprints.
A busy week in Nursery
Nursery had another busy week last week. We are enjoying our new outdoor area and have had lots to look at and explore in the classroom.
Nursery Music
Nursery have been enjoying playing some instruments this week and listening to their friends’ music.
Volcanoes!
Reception have continued to learn about the world and this week we have been looking at volcanoes. We learnt about where we could find volcanoes and how they are formed. We made some class volcanoes using junk modelling and papier-Mache and then did an experiment of a chemical reaction to make the volcano explode!
Self-portraits
Nursery have been using mirrors to see what colour eyes and hair they have before completing their amazing self-portraits.
Twinkly Nativity
This week Reception did an amazing job for their performance of ‘Twinkly Nativity’. We have also been getting in the festive mood with lots of Christmas themed crafts and activities.
