This week in the nursery we are still exploring light and dark and have started to discuss winter. We have been mixing different colours of paint to see what different light and dark shades we can create. We have also made spotlight shadow pictures, recycled models of our houses with lit up windows and bright lamp light pastel pictures. Some of us enjoyed making their own story books at the writing table, coming up with their own plots and illustrating their ideas. 
We made more snow dough to play with which made the nursery smell lovely. We helped to make some yummy pancakes and decorated some delicious “space biscuits” for snack. Now that the weather has turned Wintery, we have been discussing how to keep ourselves warm with hats, gloves, scarves, hot food and drinks. We have started to practice Christmas songs for our Christmas party – we have particularly enjoyed Feliz Navidad! We will send home a leaflet with the lyrics of our Christmas songs and would really appreciate it if you practiced these at home with your child.

Please continue to post your lovely pictures of all the fun you have at home on the Learning Journals. The newsletter will be sent out shortly and will have all the dates of our upcoming Christmas activities. We hope you have a great weekend and look forward to seeing you on Monday!

Welcome back to Fantastic Friday where we showcase the amazing work and play done in the nursery each week! This week we have been exploring light and dark and focussing on space and the night sky. We have been discussing the different routines for night and day and the planets in our solar system. We have enjoyed reading books about the moon and astronauts and have been role playing in our space suit. We made some beautiful stained glass window decorations to observe how the colours change in the sunlight, built amazing rockets using recycling and painted some bright stars and moons. We also designed and built some brilliant rockets in our construction area and had lots of fun playing with our small world space station. We helped bake a yummy cake for our friend’s birthday and made some bright playdough. We had a great time at forest school making some lovely leaf rubbings and played hide and seek in the woods.

Please continue to post lovely pictures of the fun you have at home on the learning journals. If your child is going to school after the summer then please make sure you have submitted your application. As the weather is getting colder please make sure you bring you are on time as it is too cold for the children to be waiting outside for long periods of time. We hope you have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!
