Nursery - Literacy - Fine Motor Skills - Decorating The Christmas Tree

In Nursery class this week, we have been getting into the Christmas spirit! We got our Christmas tree out and an array of decorations for the children to hang on the tree. The children were encouraged to use a pincer grip to open the string on the baubles, perfect early practice for pencil grip! We also spoke about the colours that the children could see. Found big and small baubles. Discussed the shapes we could see. And spoke about the textures of the different decorations, shiny, sparkly, smooth, rough, fluffy... The children have loved rearranging the baubles throughout the week and admiring the different decorations.

Reception Class have been consolidating their mathematical knowledge this week, revising subitising. The children have been working really hard at using their 'fast eyes' to say how many dots they saw and what it looked like. Some children said they saw a heart, a triangle and a person. The children then subitised numbers 1 to 5 and matched the quantity to the numeral.

Nursery - Maths - Investigating Big And Small

In Nursery class this week we have started looking at opposites. The first opposite we investigated was big and small. The children used their good looking skills to find and match two objects on the table that varied in size, they were then tasked with vocally labelling each item as big or small. The children then enjoyed taking part in this activity with a friend during independent learning, taking turns to find the first object for the other friend to match. Nursery class showed a good awareness on big and small, well done everyone!

Nursery - Literacy - 'We're Going on A Leaf Hunt'

The story Nursery class have been enjoying this week has been 'We're going on a leaf hunt'. We used the scenes from the story and a bit of imagination to go on our very own leaf hunt. The children were observant of their surroundings and found areas in the nursery garden that had similarities to our story. The children were encouraged to copy sound effects and positional language used in the story as they made different movements with their bodies. The children climbed to the top of a big hill, walked through the dark dark forest, rowed across the cold cold lake, found a house to hide from the skunk and with a bit of help from Miss Cooney, the children experienced a waterfall!
