We have enjoyed looking at baby photos this week and noticing what we can do that babies can't. We also sorted items into things that babies need such as cuddles and milk and things they don't like chocolate. The children are very proud of the things they can do now that they are bigger and enjoy their independence with everyday tasks.
Next week; our senses.

This week we thought about all the brilliant things our bodies can do and what we need to do to keep our bodies healthy. We talked about healthy eating, getting enough sleep, keeping clean and safe. The children talked about how we look after our teeth and their own experiences of brushing and visiting the dentist for check ups. We practised brushing by helping the toy dinosaurs to clean their teeth. We talked about good handwashing and how to deal with runny noses. We sang lots of songs about our bodies.
Next week; growing and changing

The children have really enjoyed showing their family photos and talking about who lives in their house. We practised our drawing skills and pencil technique by drawing the members of our family. This prompted lots of lovely talking about home.
We have played out in the sun and rain this week but when the rain was too heavy we played in the hall. The newer children enjoyed their first visit and listened carefully to instructions about moving through school.
Next week; My body and keeping healthy.

Everyone is now in and are settling brilliantly. New friendships are developing and the children are enjoying getting to know each other and playing as a group.
This week we thought about the features of our faces and talked about how our faces show other people how we are feeling. We used natural resources to create faces and used mirrors to try out different expressions. In phonics we explored different surfaces around school to make loud and quiet sounds and used instruments to practise loud and quiet. In maths we looked at groups of objects and said which group had more.
Next week; my family

We have had a super first week in Nursery, getting to know each other, learning new names and exploring new toys and equipment. The children came back smiley, happy and chatty, although by the end of Thursday there were some very tired faces.
Next week; myself, feelings and faces.
