Our new topic is ‘All Around the World’ and for the next 2 weeks we will be focusing on Italy, at the request of the children. They have come up with some fantastic ideas about what they would like to do and learn about… Watch this space to see what we get up to!
This morning, they asked to make ‘The Leaning Tower of Pisa’. We looked at photographs and discussed the tower itself and Italy, then made our own representations using pasta.
Last week we talked about healthy eating. We discussed foods that you should eat a lot of and foods which should just be treats. We sorted different foods and drinks into groups and Miss Carter also showed us how many tablespoons of sugar is in a can of coke! We were very good at explaining why certain foods belonged in the healthy or treat groups and some of the children even talked about how unhealthy foods effect your body and teeth.
In Maths, we were all given a piece of string and every time the music stopped, we had to show and talk about the shape that we had made!
We have been talking about our ‘Golden Rules’ this week and have made some new ones to refresh our memories about how to behave and what we should and shouldn’t do in Nursery. All of the children contributed to the new rules and we all put our fingerprints on to the rules to say that we agreed to follow them.
Last week, the children decided they wanted to make their own car wash. They filled buckets with water, searched for sponges and then attached material to a frame to make the drive through car wash!
 
This morning we went up on to the field and split up into 2 teams. Both groups gave their team a name and then competed against each other to complete an obstacle course. They had to star jump, run round cones, jump over hurdles, step over a ladder, crawl through tunnels and under a net!
The wind was so strong that it blew the tunnels down the field and we all chased after them!
As part of our new topic, we have been learning about different insects and animals. Today, we have been learning all about birds. We talked about where they live, where they come from and what they eat. We then made our own bird feeders and decorated bird houses.
This morning, we made our own bug hotel! We all had our own bucket and collected different natural resources to make the base of the bug hotel. We each emptied our buckets into a palette and then added a second layer, ready for Reception to add to.
This morning, we put our Learning Journeys out for parents to browse through during our weekly ‘Thumbs up Thursday’ time. Some of the children then asked if they could look at them too, they all
then looked through their own book and enjoyed talking about the pictures with their friends.

When we came back inside from play time today, something strange had happened! There was fruit in a line down the middle of Nursery and all of the pieces had big bites missing out of them! The children decided that they needed to investigate, so they followed the trail to work out who or what it could be. It didn’t take long for us to work out that it was The Very Hungry Caterpillar !
Have a lovely Easter everyone! Nursery 💐
