We celebrated World Book Day in Nursery by dressing up as our favorite characters. We love to share stories when we are at Nursery and so we completed a sponsored walk around our school yard to help raise money to buy new and exciting books to further our enjoyment of reading.
Our Talk for Writing text this term has been ”We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” By Micheal Rosen
The nursery children traveled to Boldon lodge for their own bear hunt. We walked through the forest ‘stumble trip stumble trip’ following the bears footprints. We walked through a real snow storm ‘hooo whoo’ and found a bear on the train.
We went back to the lodge and warmed ourselves up with marshmallows around the log burner. We made a bear decoration and were visited by Boldon Bear. We learnt a new song that Boldon Bear taught up ”Teddy bear Teddy bear turn around”
Thank you to all our adults who came along to stay and play. We hope you had as much fun as we did. The children very much enjoyed showing you how far we have come since staring nursery showing you new skills, new friendships and new songs that we have have been learning.
Welcome to Nursery!
We have had a very busy first few weeks in nursery. We have been learning how to share and to be kind to friends. We can take part in large and small group times. We have played outside in the yard, in the park and have even dressed our selves to jump in the puddles when its raining. Ask your child about our autumn songs, Big Red Combine Harvester and Autumn Leaves, we have been doing wonderful singing with actions.
The Nursery visited Hall Hill Farm. We traveled on a coach and enjoyed looking out the window and talking to our friends as we were very excited for our journey.
At the farm we met lots of different animals. Some animals were small and we could hold them on our knees and stroke their soft fur or feathers. We could recall lots of different facts that we had learnt in nursery about the animals. We fed some of the bigger animals too, the lamb needed a bottle of milk and was very hungry. The goats ate food out of hands which we knew to keep very flat so the goats tongue tickled our fingers.
We had a ride on a tractor which was very bumpy. The farmer took us around the farm on the tractor and we saw lots more different animals including wallabies, lamas and alpacas.
At lunch time we enjoyed a picnic together in the barn and we were able to play in the big indoor play area racing down the slide and climbing through the obstacles, having fun with our friends.
We had a very busy day at the farm and some of us even had a little snooze on the bus ride home.
We have been talking about people who help us at Nursery. Police Officer Dan came to visit us at Nursery today. He brought his patrol car and we were able to explore inside and pretended to drive and turned on the blue flashing lights. PC Dan also brought along some police uniform. We tried on different police hats and clothing.
Early Words Together
Children and parents from Reception and Nursery have worked together to complete a program from The Literacy Trust. Early Words together emphasizes the importance of stories, communication, language and interaction between parents and children.
We have fully immersed ourselves in stories by making puppets, writing shopping lists and letters, we celebrated a birthday for Lettice the Rabbit, we followed instructions to make sandwiches and even danced in our underpants!
We have had great fun together.
We have visited our local library to further enhance our love of stories and reading.
The Nursery went on a Bear Hunt to Boldon Lodge. We went swishy swashy through the ribbons, splash splosh through the puddle and squelch squelch through the mud. We found the bear!
We enjoyed hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows around the campfire.
