Autumn
Week 3
Our first full week in Nursery without our grown ups is complete!
We have been getting to know one another, our environment and learning the rules and routines at school. Despite a few tears, we are all settling in well!
Next week we will be starting our topic - Space! Our first story will be 'Whatever Next' by Jill Murphy,
Perhaps this weekend you could look at pictures of The Moon. Or even better, see if you can spot The Moon in the sky (as long as it's not past your bedtime!)
Star Class' first week at school
Week 4
This week we read the story 'Whatever Next' by Jill Murphy. Baby Bear flew to The Moon in his rocket, along with his space helmet, space boots and food for the journey. We have been acting out the story with props, building rockets and jetting off to space!
See if your child can retell the story at home or sing our new song 'Zoom, zoom, zoom, we're going to The Moon'.
Week 4 Whatever Next
Week 5
On Monday we came into school and discovered a spaceship had crash landed in our classroom! Attached to the spaceship was a note, explaining that the aliens needed help fixing their broken down ship. We got to work with spanners and screwdrivers and attempted to fix the broken machine. With no luck, we decided to build a new spaceship instead! The aliens flew back to planet Zog and even sent us a video message thanking us for our hard work.
To accompany our learning this week, we read the book 'The way back home' by Oliver Jeffers.

Week 6
This week, we read the story 'Aliens love underpants!' We got creative and used our design skills to make our own pants. We practiced talking in longer sentences and used descriptive language to describe different pairs of pants.
In October, the UK celebrates black history month. We have been reading stories with black characters and talking about diversity and different cultural backgrounds.
Next week, we are reading the book 'Handa's Surprise'. If you have any clothes, artifacts, photos or books with African or Caribbean significance, please feel free to bring them to school. Your child can share these special things with their classmates.
Aliens Love Underpants!
