This week in the classroom...
Friday 7th november
This week we enjoyed reading Percy the Park Keeper: Hide and Seek and had lots of fun playing our own hide-and-seek games with toy animals! We met Percy’s friends the mouse, hedgehog and fox, and enjoyed rhyming words like box, fox and socks.
In phonics, we played sound games and used our voices to make different noises, from hissing snakes to buzzing bees!
In maths, we met Numberblock Two and practised counting, sorting, and showing the number two with our fingers.
As part of our Understanding the World work, we learned about Bonfire Night, Remembrance Day, and birthdays. The children made poppies and talked about special celebrations at home. We even looked at baby photos to see how we’ve grown!
In music, we celebrated with a birthday-themed song and instruments, while in My Happy Mind, we talked about people we love and made kindness hearts to share.
It’s been a lovely, busy week full of learning, celebration and creativity!

What a colourful and exciting week we've had in Nursery!
Our focus text this week was Wow! Said the Owl, and the children explored the vibrant world of colours through storytelling, art, and play. We listened to owl and bird sounds and made fingerprint flowers using our favourite colours. The children loved joining in with the story and playing rhyming games with colour words. In phonics, we had lots of fun with nursery rhymes like Incy Wincy Spider, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, and Miss Molly Had a Dolly. The children explored sounds, and clapped out syllables.
Maths was all about sorting – from leaves and sensory bags to pebbles and bears. The children enjoyed running to sort different items by colour, shape, and size.
We also explored our feelings in PSED, talking about times we felt sad and how we can help our friends feel better. In Understanding the World, we learned about our amazing bodies and celebrated differences between people.
Outdoors, we built nests and dens for woodland animals, and in music, we moved like clouds and learned a snowy song.
It’s been a week full of creativity, exploration, and joyful learning. We can’t wait to see what next week brings!

This week we finished our story Happy to Be Me, exploring our amazing senses. and having a group conversation about our favourite foods and drinks.
In phonics, we sang 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat', 'Hickory Dickory Dock' and The Grand Old Duke of York. We have created our own boat with a friend and marched around the room. We are aslo getting super good at recognising words that sound the same like 'row' and 'bow'.
We have had a fun week creating glitter jars, exploring colour, creating our family with stones and practicing our balancing skills.

This week the children continued enjoying Happy to Be Me, focusing on eyes, ears, head and arms. we played 'I Spy', and whispered messages to friends.
In phonics, we sang favourites like Baa Baa Black Sheep, Down at the Station and Hey Diddle Diddle, listening for rhymes and silly sounds.
In maths, we explored matching used objects such as buttons, shoes and block towers to help us find matching pairs and talking about the 'odd one out'.
We've also been exploring feeling though The Colour Monster, charades and friendship games.
It's been a lovely week full of matching, singing and exploring our feelings!
