This week in Nursery...

This week we have been thinking about celebrations and special times for our family.

 We have been celebrating the birthday of our class toy, Cheeky Monkey.

We have been making birthday cakes with play dough and counting the candles for his special day.

We have been writing birthday cards and making special birthday numbers for him.

We had lots of fun playing Pass the Parcel and finding forfeits in each wrapper asking us to sing nursery rhymes and count.

We have been thinking of  the British Value - Everyone is special. We painted our portraits and thought really hard about how we look, whether our hair is long or short, straight or curly. We used paints and looked in the mirror to see what colours we needed for our eyes and skin. We though about how we are the same and different as our friends. Our portraits are amazing!

Thank you to all parents for bringing in the children's special books. We have been sharing them in class and with our friends. The photos have really opened up discussions about special times in our lives.

Next week we will be thinking about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We had a fantastic taster of the story when Year 1 came down to perform the story to us.

 

We will also be thinking about Autumn for the next few weeks. We would really appreciate any conkers, acorns, leaves or pine cones to keep in our small world area if you and your child would like to go on an Autumn treasure hunt.
