In Nursery This Week
We have had a wonderful week in Nursery.
The Dormice children are continuing with their theme of Castles. This week we made and painted our very own castle; the children developed their pretend play, dressing up as knights and climbing over the drawbridge. They also enjoyed listening and singing along to The Grand Old Duke Of York!
In Badgers and Hedgehogs, phonics has moved from the Seaside and onto visiting parks. The children have shared their own experiences of going to a park and all the things they can do there. They have thought about what they might see or hear at the park as well as the sounds they make (going down the slide). As well as having a picnic in the park, most children agreed they liked to play on the swings and the play equipment the most. Outside, the children have been exploring pushes and pulls, and have been naming these actions whilst they play. In the Curiosity Box this week, there was a range of springs and rubber bands. Children had the opportunity to explore and describe these, again feeling and observing what happens when they pushed the springs/bands together or pulled them apart.
Now the children are so good at saying how they feel, we have been helping them to recognise how other people are feeling. Using scenario cards, they have been looking for clues in body language to work out how someone else is feeling, and having a go at guessing why they are feeling this way. They were then asked to use a sentence using the word ‘because’ to match the scenario. For example, “The girl is happy because it is her birthday.”
Well done everyone!
