Our Learning - Spring 2 2025

Spring 2 Update

This half term, we have continued our 'where are we going?' topic, exploring our new story, 'Goldilocks and the three bears'. This week, we have applied our knowledge from the story to learning about porridge. We have been discussing how to make the porridge, what ingredients we need to use, and how to be careful when the porridge is cooking! The learners enjoyed making the porridge with Mrs Berry and tasting it. Learners said "it's too hot!" "the porridge is delicious" and "I eat porridge at home with sugar on".

Our Learning - Spring 1 2025

We're Going on a Bear Hunt!

This half term, we have been exploring our topic 'where are we going?', using the story 'we're going on a bear hunt!'. Learners have been applying their knowledge of newly taught concept words such as 'long' and 'through' to describe what is happening in each scene. Learners have been retrieving knowledge from Autumn term about families and the weather and applying to support their understanding of a new text. We have explored textures and materials to recreate the scenes from the story. Learners enjoyed using marbling ink to create a water effect for the deep, cold, river! Mrs Berry took the learners outdoors on a bear hunt to look for two googly eyes, two ears and a big shiny nose. Learners found the thick, oozy mud which led them to the bear!

Our Learning - Autumn 2 2024

SMJ Falconry Owl Visit

This half term, Nursery had a visit from SMJ Falconry to consolidate our learning of the story 'Owl Babies'. The learners were very excited to see the range of owls that were brought. The owls had a range of features for the learners to observe such as fluffy feathers, orange eyes and long talons! Learners enjoyed listening to what owls like to eat and learning new facts about the owls. We even saw the barn owl flying around the sports hall!

Our Learning - Autumn 1 2024

Signs of Autumn

We have been learning about the changes in the weather. We have learnt all about 'Autumn' and how the leaves on the trees change colour and fall down from the trees. We introduced the senses 'listening' and 'looking', thinking about what we might find on our scavenger hunt.  Our learners walked through our school playground in their learning partners and used their clipboards to see if we could find red, yellow, orange and brown leaves. We listened to the leaves rustling in the wind and crunching as we walked on them and saw the leaves falling down and dancing in the wind! We have been busy exploring colour sorting, mixing, printing and size matching with the leaves. We have also been learning to dress for colder weather and putting on our coats independently!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

We have explored the topic of 'night time', learning about the importance of brushing our teeth and going to sleep when it is night time. We looked at steps to brushing our teeth and practised brushing, whilst singing the teeth brushing song! Learners enjoyed wearing their pyjamas to Nursery, as we talked about the patterns and colours on our pyjamas and listened to a night time story. We have been looking at the painting 'Starry Night' by Vincent Van Gogh, and have explored some new mark making shapes- circles and lines! Learners enjoyed using paint and black paper to create their own landscapes and enjoyed learning about the colours that we could see in the painting. We have also been creating our own stars in the playdough area, exploring light and shadows, and learning the actions to the song!

 

All About Me

This half term, we have been learning all about ourselves as we settle in and make new friends. Learners have enjoyed getting to know who is in our Nursery and what makes us similar and different. We have been learning about the features of our face and beginning to count our features using our wiggly fingers. Our learners have been busy practising lots of different mark making techniques, using paints, crayons, chalks and pencils to create lines and circles that represent our faces and families. We have been setting up our new house with pictures of our families and our favourite objects from home! We are excited to add lots of new items to our house as we learn about household sounds, animals and the use of objects!
