Wow! What a great first week back we have had at Nursery.
The children have settled right back into our routines and they have enjoyed playing with their friends and meeting some new friends in Nursery!
This week we have been practising writing our names, forming 'most' of our letters correctly and practising holding a pen, with the correct grip.

This week in Nursery, we have been learning about the order of numbers, when counting.
We looked at the Numicon shapes up to 5 and Mrs Lisle got them in the wrong order!
The children were amazing and helped Mrs Lisle by reordering themselves

This week at Nursery we have been learning about the season 'Spring'. We watched some video clips of chicks 'hatching' out from an egg shell and we learnt the names of some baby animals, including, lamb, chicks, tadpoles and ducklings. We also looked at different flowers you might see in springtime like, daffodils, snowdrops and bluebells. We had a go at making some, with coloured paper and paint, and we have made a lovely 'Spring' display in the classroom.
Planting flowers in the garden.
This week Mrs Reid brought in some flowers for us to plant in our outside garden area. First, the children helped to pull out the weeds, using special tools and then they enjoyed getting stuck in, planting up the flowerbeds with some pretty violas!

Well what a short week we have had, this week, missing Monday at Nursery because of the Bank Holiday!
We have still managed to do lots of fun learning this week...
Under the Sea and counting
We have started to learn about creatures found 'Under the Sea'. The children all recognised the clownfish, just like Nemo from the movie. We learnt some facts about where clownfish live, how big they are and what they eat. We also looked closely at the picture above and talked about the things they could see and what should and should not be in the sea. Great opportunity to consolidate our counting skills, how many legs on the sea spider and arms on the starfish and how many clownfish they could count too!
If your child has an interest in any other sea creatures or they do some super counting at home, we would love to see this on Tapestry!
Recognising Numicon shapes
Sounds we have learnt in Phonics
Painting pictures, using watercolours.
Playing with our friends in role-play, making ham, cheese, lettuce and...SPIDER SANDWICHES!
