Nursery

This week we have been exploring repeats in songs and stories. We have also been using objects and paints to make line patterns and repeated patterns.

Sharing our work or news from home is a very special time for us in Nursery.  This week we are enjoying time to share our half term news. Many children have been very busy with Halloween and Bonfire Night celebrations.  Thank you children, we love learning all about you!  

The children had lots of fun this morning with Scoot Fit! They sang, danced and improved their scootering skills.

The children have been working together in the mud kitchen making mud soup using our natural resources.

The children have had lots of fun playing and exploring outdoors. In music we have been learning about percussion instruments so the children wanted to hear the sounds the tractor tyre could make. They have also been using the trees to play hide and seek.  

The children have enjoyed exploring different sounds on our new music wall that the children created together this week. We listened to the sounds the wooden items made when hit and described how they are different to the sounds created by striking metal objects.
