Recently we have been looking at the story of The Three Little Pigs. We have listened to the story all together and have talked about the characters. We make story maps to retell the story adding our own illustrations. Some children decided to make their own houses for the pigs to live in using materials in our construction area. We used puppets to retell the story. We enjoyed pretending to huff and puff like The Big Bad Wolf and blow the houses down.
Recently we have had two new additions to nursery, meet our new Beat Babies. Our Beat Babies have come to nursery to help us learn about beat, rhythm and rhyme. They are absolutely adorable and we love them to bits! Our morning children have named our orange boy Beat Baby Wish and our afternoon nursery have named our girl Beat Baby Tink. Wish and Tink live together in a special basket and come out to see us when we sing their special song. Sometimes they hide special clues in their basket to tell us about where they have been or give us clues about what songs they would like to sing. They love cuddles and singing, sometimes they even cuddle each other’s tails! Over the next few weeks they will be introducing us to new songs to help us develop our knowledge of rhythms, rhymes and how to keep a beat.
We had great fun in the snow. We threw snowballs, worked together to roll giant balls of snow and even painted pictures in the snow. We enjoyed looking at the different footprints our wellies made as well as jumping in the muddy puddles. After exploring the winter weather we headed back inside to warm up with fruit and hot chocolate. We can’t wait for it to snow again!
In F1 we play outside whatever the weather! We enjoy dressing appropriately for the weather that day and using our senses to comment on our ever, changing outdoor learning environment. Here are some photos of us enjoying playing outdoors this term in lots of different weathers and conditions.
This week we have been looking at number 1. We have talked about what it looks like, how many fingers represent 1, how to count to 1 and singing lots of number rhymes about 1 such as 1 finger, 1 thumb keep moving and 1 little finger. On Friday we made special '1 spoon flapjack' where we had to carefully follow the recipe to make our own individual flapjack using 1 spoonful of different ingredients. It was very yummy!The weather may be cold outside but that hasn't stopped us preparing for the spring. We worked as a team to refill our planting beds with new compost and plant a range of bulbs ready for the spring. We looked at what creatures we could find in the soil and talked about the different sizes and shapes of our bulbs. We hope that we will have a host of beautiful daffodils, tulips, irises and alliums when spring finally arrives. We can't wait to see how the different bulbs create different types of flowers.As part of our on going maths work we have been working on matching and developing our 1:1 correspondence. We have talked about what the words match, same and pair mean. We have matched socks, shoes, shapes and even Numicon pieces to complete tricky jigsaws.
As part of our maths work we have been exploring colours. We have been learning the names of different colours, how to sort by colour and how to mix them. We chose our favourite colours to make colour buns and coloured toast.
Hello and welcome to our F1 blog page. You will be able to see all of the amazing learning and experiences of our nursery children during the year. Here are some photographs of our current provision and areas. Our children are already having lots of fun exploring them. Keep checking back here regularly for more updates. Thank you. Mrs Hale, Mrs Lees, Miss Nock & Mrs Gillott. The F1 children really enjoyed their end of school year teddy bears picnic. Each child brought a special teddy from home and told us all why it was special to them. We had yummy sandwiches, biscuits and fruit washed down with some juice. We're very lucky we had lots of shade to be able to enjoy our picnic outside on such a hot day. |
