Welcome back to Fantastic Friday where we showcase the amazing work and play done in the nursery each week. This week in nursery we have continued talking about Autumn and animals that hibernate. We have made hedgehogs and foxes in the art area, as well as more tree pictures and scarecrows. In the garden, we have been playing in the muddy puddles left by the bad weather and talking about storms.
We have made play dough and lots of the children have been pretending to make pizzas and discussing what toppings they like to have on their own pizza.

We were also visited by the dentist from childsmile, who told us all about keeping our teeth clean and how to brush properly. We followed this up by reintroducing our tooth brushing routine into the nursery.

The children have also still been roleplaying shops and have continued using the house corner as a supermarket. This has lead to lots of discussions about money and identifying different amounts/numbers. Some of the children have also been pretending to be witches which has lead to a lot of discussion about Halloween, so at story time we have been reading “Room on the Broom” and “Winnie the Witch.” We will continue to discuss Halloween, Autumn and hibernation in the coming weeks.

We hope you have a great weekend and please post all the fun you have at home on the Learning Journals!

Welcome back to Fantastic Friday where we showcase the amazing work and play done in the nursery each week! This week we have started to explore people who help us; we have been talking about who we contact in emergencies, who can take care of us and keep us safe and how we contact them. We took a trip up to see the Police station and talked about what the police do and all the different types of police vehicles we could see. Some of the children were inspired to draw excellent pictures of police cars and fire engines and had lots of fun playing with the small world police station.

We have been very interested in how to keep our teeth clean and have been enjoying role-playing in our own dental surgery. We explored the best methods of brushing our teeth and what equipment dentists use and wear to be hygienic. We also enjoyed role-playing as hairdressers and explored what steps are involved and what tools are used in a hair cut.

We helped to make some delicious fairy cakes for snack and have been enjoying building our fine motor skills with a fruit and vegetable threading activity. We have been making lots of colourful patterns with hamma beads and doing some beautiful bright paintings in the art area.

Thank you to the families who helped us celebrate Eid last week, we enjoyed the delicious food, fun dancing and experiencing the celebrations with the school and families! Eid Mubarak to all who celebrated!

We hope you enjoy your weekend and please post some pictures of what you get up to at home on the Learning Journals. We love to see all the fun you have out of nursery!
