half term pumpkin fun

31/10/2024

0 Comments

 
We’ve had a busy and fun half term week at nursery. We made pretend pumpkin pies, soup and colourful potions. We used apples to print pumpkin shapes and we enjoyed making biscuits to take home. We learnt a new song which we all enjoyed singing together. Five Little Pumpkins is a super fun song that teaches emotions vocabulary. The five pumpkins are happy, grumpy, sleepy and sad. But in the end, all of them are happily playing! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

One little pumpkin smiling, smiling.

We used broccoli 🥦  as a tool to paint different Autumn patterns and leaves. We had fun using the tweezers to pick up the pieces of broccoli and we counted them together. Thank you to our families for the amazing big leaves, Autumn books and hedgehog pictures this week, your support is really appreciated. 🍂🦔🍃

The owl who was afraid of the dark, by jill tomlinson

15/10/2024

0 Comments

 
At storytime today, we enjoyed listening to The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson. This lovely story is about a barn owl named Plop, who through a series of adventures and encounters with different characters, overcomes his fear of the dark. Plop learns that the dark is not something to be feared, but rather something beautiful and full of exciting possibilities. As a group, we explored the different feelings and emotions of curiosity and courage and how dark isn't scary and how it can be exciting and kind. 🦉​

we have been learning all about hedgehogs.

19/9/2024

We enjoyed learning all about hedgehogs this week. We learnt that hedgehogs are nocturnal and they have hard spines on their back to protect themselves. We learnt that hedgehogs can’t see very well and we enjoyed closing our eyes and using our senses to hear and smell. Next week we are going to make a hedgehog hotel in the garden, all ready for when a hedgehog needs to keep warm in winter when they hibernate. 🦔 ​
