Learning every day
Children explore, play and discover new things through continuous provision. They learn to communicate in different ways, enjoy food play, use their imagination and develop new skills while having fun.
Autumn
Thank you for bringing your autumn leaves and nature finds into nursery!
Tales Toolkit
The children used their imagination to create their own story about a lady at the train station. During their storytelling, a dinosaur arrived but was too big to fit inside, so the children decided to use a phone to call for help. This creative activity encouraged language development, problem-solving, and collaborative play as the children shared ideas and built the story together.
Painting
Children are learning how to hold and use paintbrushes as they explore paint through play. They enjoy making marks, experimenting with different movements, and expressing their ideas creatively. These experiences help to develop hand-eye coordination, build confidence, and encourage a love of learning through exploration and discovery.
Welcome back
We would like to warmly welcome back all of our returning children and extend a special welcome to our new starters. The children are settling in well and have been busy exploring all areas of play. Our room has had a fresh new layout, and the children have thoroughly enjoyed discovering the new activities available both indoors and outdoors.
Walking through the Jungle- Story Sack
The children showed enjoyment while engaging with the story sack “Walking Through the Jungle.” They listened thoughtfully to the different animal sounds and demonstrated good listening skills as they anticipated which animal might appear next. The children joined in with repeated phrases and sounds, showing growing confidence in participation. Following the story, they independently reenacted parts of it, using their imagination and recalling key events and animal sounds and actions.
Becoming Independent
Children become independent as they grow and build confidence in their abilities. In Nursery, we support this through everyday activities like learning to put their coat on, making choices, solving problems, and taking responsibility for small tasks. The children are practising putting on their own coats, pouring their own drinks at snack time, and exploring the environment on their own. These experiences help them become more confident and capable.
A Tales Toolkit Story about an Octopus
The children have acted out a story using props from our Tales Toolkit bags. There was an octopus that sat on a seesaw, then a dinosaur arrived stomping and roaring loudly, we then used our phone and rang for help.
Exploring areas of provision
The children have settled in well after returning from half term and we have also welcomed new children who have shown lots of enjoyment joining in with all our activities.
A Story about a dog
The children drew a story creating a dog as their character, they then decided the dog was walking in the trees so we made lots of marks to look like leaves and twigs until an elephant appeared who was stomping everywhere, however we then chose to have a phone as our solution and the children said to ring Mummy so we drew lot of people who we could ring.
Group Time
The children enjoy group time and have been joining in activities such as parachute, library and music sessions. Group time helps children develop social, emotional, and communication skills in a shared, supportive environment. Coming together as a group encourages children to listen, take turns, share ideas, and build confidence.
