Exploring Shapes and Puzzles in Nursery B
This week we are playing with shape puzzles and simple jigsaws in our continuous provision. Today we matched a range of objects to their shadows concentrating on the shapes we could see. We also played a matching numicon and numeral game together.
Exploring Shape Using Blossom
The children in Nursery A have been showing off their knowledge of shapes this week. We have been exploring different shapes and today collected blossom that has fallen from our beautiful nursery tree, to fill shapes and create different shapes on our own and in small groups.
Climbing and Balancing in Nursery B
Today the children used the climbing frame to help improve and practise their balancing and climbing skills. They used their strength and coordination to move around the different areas whilst having fun in the sun.
Nursery’s Good Shepherd Day
Today the children are having a fancy-dress day to raise money for the Good Shepherd Appeal. They are having lots of fun playing and painting together.
Nursery B’s Spring Walk
Today the children went on a walk looking for signs of spring. Together we found buds, daffodils, tulips, seedlings, insects and birds. The children enjoyed exploring and seeing so many bright colours around our school.

Counting in Nursery B
The children have been practising counting up to 3 objects. We have used dots on plates to help the children to subitise up to 3 and show matching fingers. They have also used their counting skills to count objects around them. “Look, I have 3 daisies!”
