Creating a small world

We had a new table delivered this week and so we used the box to create our own small world.

Bonkers about conkers!

The conkers are falling and falling from the tree outside our classroom, last week we went on an Autumn walk and used all our senses to explore. We spotted lots of things that show us it is Autumn. We have also enjoyed lots and lots of conker play!

After the storm

The Forest Fairies wrote to us on Wednesday asking for our help after the storm the previous night. We all worked together to create a new fairy village, with a beach and a pool! The children had lots of great ideas about what we could make. Some of us helped to create a willow arch way, we are hoping that this will grow in the Spring. We also planted some spring bulbs around the edge of the village. Mrs Noden took the sign and post box to give it a lick of paint!

Exploring e

We learnt the phoneme e on Tuesday and explored eggs! We looked at different eggs, including an ostrich egg. We also drew predictions of what we thought was in the mysterious egg. Later in the day we counted 3 eggs and talked about the composition of that 3 when they were in the egg box. Lots of us worked togteher to help Elsa recue Anna from the ice, reading the words to get to her. We finished the day enjoying the story Elmer after some of us had made Elmers in the creative workshop.

 

Investigating absorbent materials

We made predictions about which material samples we thought would be the most absorbent, we also explained why we thought this. Then we tested each material using a pipet and counting how many drops we could put on the fabric until the water came through the fabric.

Testing for opaque materials

We turned off all the lights in our classroom on Wednesday afternoon and tested different materials to see if they were opaque, translucent or transparent.

Painting techniques

We used the pencil sketches that we created at Hodnet Hall Gardens last week and added paint – using our fingers!

Signs of Autumn

We have been learning about the signs of Autumn in nursery, we went on an Autumn walk and enjoyed watching two squirrels searching for conkers outside in the garden.
