A fruity week in Nursery

18th October 2022N Bramley

The Nursery children all agreed that fruit and vegetables are healthy and we set about exploring.  First we used all our senses to explore a range of fruits and vegetables, talking about them using descriptive vocabulary such as furry, soft, wet, sticky, smooth and sweet.  We printed with different types of fruit and vegetables, talking about the colours and shapes.  We investigated which fruit and vegetables float and which ones sink and we have used our knowledge of shape and number to make fruit faces.  Why not continue exploring at home and see if you notice any interesting fruit and vegetables while you are out and about.

 

 

And the award goes to… 2 Red!

11th October 2022L Phillips

This week in our Learning Means the World theme, Inter-Nation Media Station, we found out more about the famous rap star, Top Dollar. We got into character, practising our coolest walk around the room before collecting the music award for Best New Song.

We took inspiration for our thank you speech from clips of Ed Sheeran, Emma Watson and Malala Yousafzai, before performing these speeches for our audience.

The Gingerbread Man

11th October 2022Hayley Tampin

We have read the story of The Gingerbread Man. The children have enjoyed retelling the story, using the play dough to make their own gingerbread men, counting buttons on different gingerbread men and lots more!

The children used jelly tots, chocolate drops and icing sugar to decorate their own gingerbread man biscuit.

We think they did a great job and hope they enjoy eating them as much as they enjoyed decorating them!

1 Red made cookies for Granny!

28th September 2022L Chisholm

Throughout our theme ‘Happily Ever After’ we have been looking at fairytales. This week we have been reading and completing work around the story of Little Red Riding Hood. We decided that cookies are a great treat and that we would like to make them (to make sure they were good enough for Granny obviously).  We looked at a recipe and thought about what ingredients we would need.  We then used the correct equipment to weigh out the ingredients and mix the batter.  Our Teacher put them in the oven and took them out when it was time then we took them home to eat, before The Big Bad Wolf could smell them!
