Welcome back to nursery, ready to kick start a new term with lots of fun!
This week Green Group explored sand! Yes SAND!! In their own individual trays with their own resources – they explored and described how it felt and what they were doing with it. We even brought in the shape and object cutters to try make some prints in the sand. Some children were filling and pouring while others were trying to make castles.
We also got a bit messy and sensory with the paint. We painted our feet with help from Mrs Uddin and Miss Reid and made colourful footprints along the paper. Some of the children noticed the colours were mixing together and changing. They tried matching and finding whose feet were whose?! Before doing their very best to clean their feet with support.

It was Green Group’s first time at Forest School this week!

They appeared to have enjoyed exploring parts of the forest, particularly the secret garden. We talked about being safe outside and explored pictures of things we should avoid and ways we can be careful.

We played hide and seek, hiding in the bird hide and the different dens, finding new and better spots to hide in next time… We also found lots of mushrooms and fallen apples and worms!

We later collected beautiful autumn leaves to make our own leaf man. The children decided to call him Steven!

We talked about Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night and how we could stay safe, reading the story of Francis the Firefly. The children appeared to enjoy sharing their fireworks experience and shared what they saw! We made our very own fireworks pictures which got a bit messy! While also watching fireworks on the screen and dancing to music with the pom poms!

The Green Group are continuing to explore some areas in the nursery.

They have been busy exploring the writing and drawing area. Enjoying using the glue and pens. We talked about scissor safety and how we should hold them and use them in the bottom room.

The puzzle table has also been very popular with the Greenies. Some of the children enjoying the challenge of mixing the puzzles together to sort.

We are enjoy dancing in the top room and we had the pompoms out this week! Woo!

Our first couple of weeks at nursery have been very exciting!

We explored lots of different areas in the bottom room and made new friends!

There was lots of areas to choose from, some of the children enjoyed playing independently while others played together in the new environment.

We’ve had some fun dancing in the top room and listening to stories. The children enjoyed listening to the story of Jack and the Bean stalk. They were not impressed with the big mean giant!

We also got very creative outside while mark making with the chalk.

Gloop Galore!

The Green group explored making and mixing GLOOP!

They mixed the cornflour with the water and watched it drip and droop from their hands! It got very messy!

The children came in dressed up in their favourite costumes and some in their favourite pyjamas this week! They loved showing them off to their friends!

We explored different fairy tale and superhero stories and also made our own masks.

The green group all worked together to explore the block area in the bottom room. When asked what they were building they said “a Transformer!”

They put their hard hats on and got to work lifting and carrying blocks together.

We’ve been working hard this week learning our Harvest Festival songs to perform for our grownups next week.

We talked about what happens during this time and all the different vegetables we like to eat.

The boys and girls made a plan to design and make our very own Green Group scarecrow! The Green Group worked together to make our new little addition!

Isn’t it great!
