In the Nursery we have been exploring what Autumn is. We have looked for clues outside and found lots of things that have fallen from trees. Today we used our fine motor skills to peg Autumn colours to our photos. Using a pincer grip on pegs can strengthen muscles that are used when holding a…

We were so excited all afternoon after catching a glimpse of this. The sun shone as we watched the dance on the playground and learnt a little more about China. 

We have found out things about Indonesia this week. We have learnt that this is the only area in the world where Komodo dragons live in the wild. We had a go at weaving after looking at photos of children weaving cloth.

Thank you to Neptune, our local fish and chip shop who provided us with free chips. We were looking at food in England as part of our Multicultural week.

This week we have been using knives to chop food. We have talked about safety and tried the bridge method to keep our fingers safe.

Today we talked about the King’s visit. We have designed him a new castle.

We are very excited to see how much our potato plants have grown. We watered them every day when it was hot and now we are watching the rain water them. We have found out what a plant needs to help it grow strong. 

This week we have heard the story of “Rosie’s Walk.” In Nursery we use the hall each week and this week we linked our movements to how Rosie the hen moved. We love the space to run about.

 The children looked outside for things that grow. They found lots of plants and flowers and used the IPad to take their own photos.
