Today we took some of our lovely nursery children on a visit to Sundown Adventureland and what a fantastic day we had! We went on lots of amazing rides and visited storybook village to see some of the houses related to the fairytales that we have been reading in nursery. The children were so well-behaved and were a credit to our school! It was freezing cold but they never complained and to see the happiness on their faces was wonderful! What a great day.

Didn't we look great for Children in Need today!

This week in nursery we have had some new torches to play with. We have really enjoyed shining them all around our spooky cave and finding interesting things to investigate with them. We have also been following the Golden Rules, trying our best to look after them and share them with our friends.    

This week in nursery we have been exploring all things Autumn! We went on an Autumn walk just outside the main reception to look at what is happening to the trees. We found out that the leaves have changed colour and are falling off the trees. We found pine cones and lots of sticks. In nursery we then painted our own Autumn trees using Autumn colours and from our experience of what the trees looked like on our walk. We also used pipettes to collect different coloured water and squeeze it onto cotton pads to try to create Autumn leaves. We were so careful and absolutely loved using our fine motor skills to manipulate the pipette and we were amazed with the colours that the cotton pads turned. What a fun end to the half term!

Last week we had noticed that a lot of the children were enjoying ''borrowing" our registers and various other teaching resources to play school with. So we thought why not create them their own little school role play area this week, full of everything that they might need to play schools all day long. We have really enjoyed seeing the children role play, pretending to be us! 

This week in nursery we have been practising our cutting skills using scissors to cut up leaves. It wasn't always easy but we have really persevered and kept trying! We will continue to cut up different objects over the next few weeks until we can confidently use scissors.
