This week we have been talking about fireworks and how to keep ourselves safe. First, we listened to the story about Guy Fawkes and why we see and hear fireworks on the 5th of November. We then used a variety of mark making equipment and materials to make colourful firework pictures! We watched a firework display on the white board and used colourful ribbons to make Catherine wheel moves etc., whilst dancing to music. We also listened to the fire safety story about Frances the Firefly.
We have had an amazingly fun week at nursery!!
Exploring spooky stories and things that are real and pretend. The children enjoyed exploring all the Halloween areas in the bottom room, there was spiders, webs and witches and lots of other spooky things in cauldrons all around.
We also had a Halloween DISCO!!!
We all dressed up, played lots of games like pass the spider and spooky corners. We had a dance and a fashion parade to show off our costumes and danced some more!
To end we had a delicious party tea in our group rooms where we played even more games! We read Room on the Broom and played pin the nose on the pumpkin and bobbing for doughnuts!
What a great week 🙂
This week the Blue Group had lots of fun as they moved around the room like different creatures as they:
Crawled like snails; wriggled like worms; slithered like snakes: galloped like horses and hopped like bunnies!
At the end of the activity the Blue Group noticed that their hearts were beating much faster!!! Some of the children said they were feeling hot, thirsty and ready for snack after all of that exercise!
Blue group have been very busy the past two weeks. We had a superhero and princess week where we dressed up as our favourite characters, read fairy tale stories and had a tea party.
We went to forest school this week where the children painted our fence using mud! We had a wonderful time making marks. After all this fun we had a lovely campfire with hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows. We were all amazing, we listened to the instructions on how to stay safe.
Blue group have also been exploring shapes this week. We talked about what shapes we already knew , then we drew them on the white boards .Then we decided to look for familiar shapes in the environment where we decided that the clock in our class room is a circle and our door is a rectangle. After all this hard work the children drew around shapes on large scale paper.
This week in blue group the children have been getting very excited for Christmas as we introduced the Christmas show the wiggly nativity and started our rehearsals. The children have been trying out different roles and practising the new songs along with the actions. Also this week the children have had disco to Christmas classics. After the children showed off all their moves we explored the outside area during work time and discovered Jack Frost had been over night and froze our water trays. Blue group spent most of work time picking up different pieces of ice , they all had different shapes and sizes.
This week and last the blue group have been very busy. We have been singing our little hearts out on karaoke to our favourite songs, looking at familiar writing within logos and making soup for our harvest festival. The children were very excited to help to make the soup. We chopped up lots of vegetables which were donated to nursery by our lovely grownups.

This week the blue group had their first forest school of the term, we talked about the season and what we could see changing then we explored colour mixing with the powder paints and looked for birds in the bird hide with binoculars.
We also did some leaf painting with autumn colours.
The blue group have been interested in tiny tweeties and have been moving to the music and following the instructions on the CD.
George the hamster game to visit us last Friday. We talked about where he lived, his size and what he might like to eat. The children suggested we give him some fruit as a treat next time.
This week the Blue Group have been very busy in Forest School as they took on the role of nature detectives! They used bug pots and magnify glasses as they worked together to find worms, slugs, snails, woodlice, black beetles, spiders and a ladybird as well as an array of birds. We looked closely at the creatures, in much detail, before identifying them on our mini-beast charts.

We were so pleased with the turn out of guests and thank all that came along to celebrate this special day. The children sang some lovely Easter songs for our grown ups and guests and some even got to see an amazing magic show by Flash the Magician.
We would also like to thank Alan who use to attend this nursery for choosing our Easter Raffle winner!!
The Blue Group have been very interested in animals this week. They have been talking about pets and how to look after them, which has included acting out trips to the Vets. We talked about animals and their babies and used open ended resources to make homes for the small world animals. Sophia brought a family of caterpillars for us to look at which prompted us to sing songs about creatures and listen to The Very Hungry Caterpillar story.
