Nursery and the number 2

26th November 2024N Bramley

Nursery have been working hard this week learning about the number 2.  We have found lots of ways to represent the number 2, using our fingers, numicon, dice and objects.  We have; found 2, subitized 2  played matching 2 games, painted on one side of paper butterflies then folded them to make 2 spots, we have been on a 2 treasure hunt, made a 2 snack and searched for 2 golden coins in the sand.  we have also had lots of updates from parents about their children finding 2 at home.  Well done everyone.

 

Nursery Stay and Play

18th November 2024N Bramley

Nursery invited parents for a Stay and Play session.  We showed off our ‘Wake-Up Shake-Up dance and our welcome song, before showing the parents some of the activities that we do in our maths sessions.  The children loved showing off our nursery to their parents and the parents enjoyed finding out more about what their children do when they are at nursery.

Gruffalo Biscuits

3rd July 2024N Bramley

We have had a lovely time today making Gruffalo footprint biscuits.  The children did a great job measuring, scooping and mixing.  They rolled and flattened the dough and added claws too. I hope they all enjoyed eating their biscuits.

at home!

Moving Toys

13th March 2024N Bramley

The Nursery children have had great fun today making moving toys.  We drew faces, curled paper, used glue and tape to attach card and craft straws.  I think you will all agree that the children have done a fantastic job making our caterpillars!

Harvest

24th October 2023N Bramley

Today the children have been learning about harvest.  We thought about the food that grows outside and who else might also like to eat it.  We then made scarecrows to scare away the birds.

Nursery’s listening walk

22nd September 2023N Bramley

Nursery explored the school on a listening walk. We talked about what we need to do to be a good listener including; using our ears, standing still and being quiet. We heard lots of things like keys jingling, children talking and people walking. I wonder what the children can hear if they use their listening skills at home?

Polar Express

16th January 2023N Bramley

As part of our Christmas celebrations, Nursery have had a Polar Express Day.  We came to school in our pyjamas, watched the movie, explored hot chocolate cloud dough, hunted for bells in the shaving foam and then got our tickets for a ride on our very own Polar Express train. We even had some hot chocolate on the train.

Forest School

5th November 2022N Bramley

We have had a very successful start to our Forest School sessions.  We began the session with our forest school song and rules before exploring the outside area to find sticks.  Once we had enough sticks, we used them to make our own stick men, some children were creative and made houses for the stick people to live in.  We also took part in lots of other outdoor activities with the favourites being mud painting and water play.  We joined together to listen to outdoor sounds, making up our own songs about what we heard.  We ended the session with The Stick Man story and our closing song.
