Nursery
What a successful half term it has been in nursery.
The new children have settled so well and it has been lovely hearing from
grownups all the news that their children are really enjoying nursery. A
particular favourite has been the Katy Perry song ‘Roar’ which all the children
liked being roaring tigers to. For those of you that have come
along to our Stay and Play sessions we hope that you have valued sharing your
child’s learning journal. Please remember to keep coming with those WOW
moments. Our topic next term will be ‘TOYS’ and this should give you lots
of Christmas ideas!
Reception
Over the last two weeks in Reception, we have been
learning all about Autumn and the changes that take place in the environment
during this season. Each Reception class has been on an Autumn walk around the
school grounds to identify any signs of Autumn and this has encouraged the
children to build up a list of descriptive words. We have been doing lots of
creative activities, including, leaf printing, making a split pin squirrel,
handprint hedgehogs and paper plate toadstools. The children also enjoyed making
blackberry and apple crumbles!
In maths, we have been working with numbers up to 5, i.e.
counting, recognising, writing and finding one more or one less. To help us with this, we having been learning
two great songs, 'Four Little Ducks' and 'Five Little Speckled Frogs'.
Thank you so much for all the lovely Autumn homework we
received.
We hope you all have a great half term holiday.
The Reception Team.
