A massive thank you to all the children in nursery. Our new starters have being so brave starting nursery and have adapted well to the routines! The children returning after the Christmas holidays were all brilliant at helping them settle in and at setting a fantastic example!

Mrs Wilson and Mrs Hayton are very proud of everyone in nursery! Well done!

This half get the children have been really interested in making marks on a big scale! We have used lots of different mediums to practice mark making on differen surfaces! 

This week in nursery has been very exciting! We had a surprise visitor who sneaked into our class when we were out eating our dinner! We found lots of clues around nursery including a hat, a present, white foot prints and even a letter! Together we read the letter, looked at all the clues and thought about who it could be!

We decided it was Santa!
We thought about how we could be sure it was Santa and it was suggested to look at a camera or film!
We were so lucky that Santa had been caught on camera in our very own nursery! We all watched Santa explore our class and even wave to us!

This has inspired us to do some fantastic learning! Lots of children drew their own footsteps on the path out side. Some decided to draw pictures or write to Santa asking him to come back!
Many children were fascinated by the present which said 'do not open surprise inside!'

They all wanted to know what was inside!
We discussed what it could be and tried hard to explain and extend our answers using 'and' and 'because'. We drew pictures and wrote some lovely writing explain what we thought was in the present and why.

Following the children's interest we installed a mini stage to our classroom an the children have loved singing, dancing and acting on the stage and carpet. We have sang our favourite rhymes and songs. We have also listened to music from different cultures and spoke about how the music made us feel and how this changed how danced! Many of the children were very interested in the new music and asked the adults to show then on a world map where it came from. 

We have also started learning new songs and lines for our nativity production and the children are all very excited!

Here are some pictures of us singing, dancing and acting from last week:

The children all painted poppies on Remembrance Day. They have learned all about why we wear a poppy and what Remembrance means.

The children all really enjoyed their first school disco! They all looked fantastic in their party clothes and loved dancing to the music!
