On Thursday morning the children were sitting beautifully on the carpet with Mrs Tracey doing their 5 minute maths when suddenly there was a knock on the window. Joseph said, “I thought it would be a normal day but I guess I was wrong.” Tion said, “He was knocking on the window.” The children were all shocked and surprised when they looked out the window there in front of them was the Gingerbread Man. Nathan said, “He was outside.” Jesse added, “He was running around.” The children couldn’t believe it, Idalia thought, “He might hide behind the slide from the fox.”, Thalia shared “I am just in shock.” While the children watched out the window the Gingerbread Man danced and ran around. Kiyomi explains, “He was just dancing around and my heart was dancing too.” Just then the Gingerbread Man disappeared leaving the children asking many questions ‘Where did he go?’

Today we had lots of fun, excitement and experiments. 

We had a very special visit from Professor Nitrate.

We learnt all about a vortex and moving gasses around, we created chemical reactions which made 'elephant toothpaste', we learnt that a sphere is the most aerodynamic shape and that electricity needs a conductor and the children used their own body to conduct electricity through to turn on the light.

Safer Internet Day

Today we learnt all about staying safe online. We learnt about pop ups and that we should not click them as we do not know what they are. We also learnt that just like we don’t talk to strangers on the road, we do not talk to strangers online. The children understood that if anything strange happens we close our device and tell an adult to get help. This is what the children had to say…

Tion said, “You need to be careful, I stay with my mummy when I play on my tablet.”

Kailtyn said, “A thief might get on your Ipad and you say no.”

Idalia said, “You say no, it might be a stranger on your computer.”

Wolfgang said, “You have to close your Ipad if bad happens.”

Joseph said, “You give it to your mummy and daddy to help you.”

Joy said, “You need to be safe.”

Maximillian said, “Don’t click, it might not be safe.”

It is very important to stay safe online from an early age and the children in nursery done so well to understand this.

The children loved our first whole class session of Write Dance. We are working on using large movements to work on the muscles in our shoulders and elbows before we begin to work on our finer movements and holding our pens using the pincer grip.

We work on our gross motor skills using the warm ups on letter join. Today we learnt about Kevin the Kangaroo and Colin the Crab. We had to use our bodies to act like them. 

We then sang a fine motor song to move our fingers and warm them up. 

We them put up our hand and closed our fist, we counted out 3 fingers starting with the thumb, pointing finger and middle finger, we then used these 3 fingers to 'pinch, pinch, pinch' and grab our pens.

We worked on the pattern round and round.

The children have had such a successful Autumn Term and their transition to Nursery has been very positive. We have really enjoyed getting to know the children and teaching them. We equally hope that they are enjoying their learning in Nursery.

We would like to thank you for your recent kind words and generosity and for your continued support and co-operation throughout this term.

We would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stay safe and healthy!

We are so incredibly proud of the nursery children for the way they performed in their nativity show, with such confidence in acting, beautiful singing and the loveliest behaviour throughout. They truly shone on stage and showed just how much they have grown and learned together.
