Winter Wonderland
In our topic called Winter Wonderland we read a story called Lost and Found. It was about a lonely penguin who travelled from the South Pole all the way to England to find a friend. We learned about where the South Pole was on our globe. We practiced our scissor skills by making some crafty penguins and we practiced our counting skills by counting all the penguins in our small world South Pole scene

The Dress Rehearsal
On Thursday the 14th of December we had a practice at singing our Christmas story songs and wearing our costumes at the same time. We are dressed up as the special characters from the story. Angels, Stars, The Animals from the Inn Keepers stables and Mary and Joseph.

Santa Dash
Today we took part in the Santa Dash with Mr Ellis. We ran around the big children’s playground for ages listening to Christmas music. It was really fun and we got a bit wet when it started to rain. We all tried really hard to keep going and Mr Ellis said we were superstars.

Bathing the Tortoises
Today we gave Taz and Shelly a bath. We learned that tortoises need to have a good soak in water and that they suck water up through their tails as well as drink it. We gave their shells a little scrub with a tooth brush to make them extra shiny.
Exploring Our Environment
We are exploring our outside area in our first week of nursery.
Snowmen!
Part of the curriculum in nursery is to Understand the World, to explore natural materials and understand changes in weather. So today we did just that. We now understand how we can change snow into different shapes, like snow people. We know that snow is cold and it melts in our hot hands. We know that when snow melts it turns to water so we need wellies to keep our feet dry.

Party Day
On Friday the 15th we had a Christmas party in Nursery. We played lots of games like musical bumps and pass the parcel. Then we had some party food on special Father Christmas plates. It was yummy!

Scarecrows
We have been learning a song called Ding Dangle Scarecrow to sing to our Grown Ups for our Harvest sing song, so we decided to make our own. We named him Mr Tape, because Miss Dobb used lots of tape to hold him together! His face is made out of a carrier bag, we like the big handle hole mouth!
Mark Making
We have been exploring making marks outside on different surfaces with big fat chalks. We tried them on the side of the metal freight, but found they really stood out on the squidgy soft floor. We drew around each other and tried labelling our ‘shapes’ with our names.
