Garden Shop

Following on from enjoying Jack and the Beanstalk there was lots of interest in digging and planting. Through observing children's play we noticed that there was a shop starting to form so we made our own garden shop!

There has been lots of opportunities to practise using numbers in real contexts and develop our language skills.

Jack and the Beanstalk

For the next couple of weeks our learning will be based around the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.

Look how much we enjoyed watching the story come to life!

We enjoyed helping Jack to chop down the beanstalk!

World Book Day

We enjoyed coming to nursery in our pyjamas!

Sharing our favourite story books!
Sharing books in our cosy bedroom.

Gingerbread Number Rhyme

The children have loved this number ryhme about gingerbread men - please sing at home too!

5 little gingerbread men lying in a tray.

One jumped up and ran away shouting 'Catch me, catch me, catch me if you can! You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!'

No little gingerbread men lying in the tray.

They all jumped up and ran away.

Oh how I wished they had stayed to play.

Next time I will eat them before they run away!!

Investigating the snow!

On Monday we were lucky enough to have some snow to explore in the Nursery learning garden.

The Gingerbread Man

We have enjoyed the story of the Gingerbread man and especially enjoyed making our own gingerbread men!

In the construction area the challenge was to find a way for the Gingerbread man to cross the river so that he would not get wet or eaten by the fox.

We built bridges and made boats!

Chinese New Year in Nursery

We decorated the Home Corner with lanterns, lucky money envelopes, bowls and chopsticks. There was lots of interest in the new items!

Red and gold are lucky colours in China. We used these colours for the playdough.

We made our own dragon puppets.
