Leaf Fun!

We had great outdoor learning fun with lots and lots of leaves!

We investigated the different colours and leaf shapes.

We drew around ourselves and made leaf people too!

But best of all.....We enjoyed throwing the leaves high in the air!

We enjoyed throwing them up and running fast through them!

This lead to lots of discussion about the different seasons, climates and weather.

This week, we explored Ice in the water tray.

We explored the different cold water animals that live in the ice.

On our tough spot we made a tropical island!

We explored the grass with our magnifying glasses.

Then many of us enjoyed playing with the tropical, hot animals.

We added water to the sand and we liked to splash the pebbles in the water.

We helped to make some changes to our house corner!

We added lots of different clothes.

We added some clothes that we need in Winter and some clothes that we might wear on a warmer day in the Summer.

We have really enjoyed trying on a variety of outfits this week.

What super play we have had in the house area this week!

What a fun day we had in the nursery on Friday the 13th of November.

Look at some of our bumble bees, don't they look cosy.

Lots of us wore of pyjamas to nursery of Friday for Children in Need.

Children in Need fun in the Art Room too.

Many of us had fun with the coloured maize.

We were very busy adding spots to Pudsey.

All of the morning session boys and girls visited the hall.

We went through to watch the super P5 Children in Need Assembly.

We were all little stars!

We did super sitting and excellent listening. Well Done everyone!

Some of the entertaining assembly. Well Done P5. What a fantastic assembly.

They even wrapped up some of the teachers! Well Done to the teachers for being such good sports!

Then it was time to go back to the nursery.

What better snack could we have had than hot chocolate and marshmallows!

While enjoying our snack we watched a bedtime story.

Here we are getting our penny Pudsey ready for the big day.

Lots of the children help to paint him yellow.

Then they decided he needed some collage materials added too.

Time to raise some money for Children in Need.

Thank you to everyone who donated and added some pennies to our Pudsey.

Another busy week in the nursery!

Here's a little peep at some of the many things we have been getting up to

We had great fun making our own firework bottles today.

We poured and measured the water in to the bottles through a funnel.

Then many of us decided to add food colouring. We dropped it in using a pipette. 

This made us work lots of little muscles in our fingers!

Many of us wanted to add in glitter too.

Then it was time to pop on the lids and shake our fireworks!

We had great fun painting in the art room this week!

We enjoyed painting on the tables, using scrappers to make patterns and even painted ourselves!

Some of us enjoyed exploring and investigating our new post boxes!

We were busy making our own bonfires outside this week too.

We wanted to use twigs, sand and leaves to make our bonfires.

The children wanted to add red and yellow flames too.

We had a visit from the dental nurses too.

It was time for our flouride varnish.

Look at how cool we all look wearing our special glasses!

Welcome back to Term Two.

What a busy first week back we all had!

We enjoyed making our chocolate dipped apples in our small groups on Friday.

First we dipped the apples in the chocolate. Next we dipped the apple in to the sprinkles.

They looked delicious. 

When they were ready to eat, we all took them home for a special treat after or lunch or tea!

We had some very unusual looking children in the nursery on Friday!

Look very carefully and you might recognise some of them!

Well Done to all of the children who dressed up.

We hope they are all back to normal by Monday!

Many of us had lots of fun decorating the pumpkins with Play Doh!

Many of us enjoyed this so much that on Friday we painted our pumpkins and some of the children wanted to stick and glue paper and materials on too.

We had some very fancy looking pumpkins in the nursery.

We were busy making magic potions too!

The children drew their magic ingredients, saying the magic work as they dropped them into the cauldron.

I wonder if some of our magic potions worked?

Painting with Broomsticks!

Very messy but oh what fun we had!

We used the broomsticks to paint on paper and pumpkins.

Our last week in Term One!

Where has the time gone?

We hope you all have a super October holiday! 

We look forward to seeing you all back in the nursery again very soon.

We were very busy using our senses in the tough spot this week!

There were lots of different ingredients to smell using our noses!

Many of us tried using a pestle and mortar for the first time too.

We uses our eyes and the magnifying glasses to investigate the different herbs and spices.

Our term ended with a very special surprise visitor!

We had lots of very excited children as we looked inside the box.

Peep, it was a frog!!

We released him back in to the pond.

We carried him back to his home in a cardboard box.

Then we waited and watched as he did a huge jump and a splash into the pond!
