Week 3

We have completed our first full week in Nursery and have had a lovely time learning, playing, exploring and settling into our new environment.

This week, we have been getting to know one another and sharing things that are special to us. We have talked about the things we like, drawn pictures of ourselves and shared some ideas about our families and homes.

We have also been getting used to our classroom rules and daily routines. Through play, songs and games, we have been practising taking turns, sharing, listening and following simple instructions. We are beginning to learn how to look after our classroom and our resources and how to be kind and caring towards our friends.

It has been a wonderful first week and we are looking forward to more fun, learning and exploring together!

 Week 4

This week, we have been exploring our voices and sounds through the story Whisper, Shout, Let It Out!. We enjoyed experimenting with different sounds and discovering the difference between quiet and loud voices.

We also went on a listening walk, where we used our listening ears to notice the different sounds around us. We practised listening carefully, taking turns to speak and using our voices to express how we feel. We also enjoyed singing familiar songs, making sounds with instruments and talking with our friends.

Through our learning and play, we have been developing our communication and language, listening, confidence and turn-taking skills. We have had lots of fun finding our voices and discovering the sounds around us!

Week 5

This week, we explored the book Let’s Make Faces by Hanoch Piven. We looked closely at our faces and talked about different facial features, including our eyes, noses, mouths and ears. We used mirrors to look at our own faces and explored how our faces can show different feelings.

We became face detectives and explored our environment, looking carefully at everyday objects and natural materials to see what they could become. We used a range of loose parts to create our own faces and enjoyed exploring different shapes, sizes and textures.

We also developed our early maths skills by counting facial features, comparing objects and using positional language such as above, below, next to and between.

We also got creative and made our own masks, choosing different materials and adding facial features to our designs. We also enjoyed mark making and drawing our own faces.

This week, we also started our phonics lessons in Nursery. We began developing our listening skills and learning to notice and explore the different sounds around us.

It has been a busy and exciting week of exploring, creating, listening and learning together!
