Learning about the festival Diwali

We have been learning about Diwali this week in nursery class and exploring the artefacts linked with this festival. We have enjoyed creating our own rangoli patterns using different mediums.

Firework flicks

We have had lots of fun flicking paint onto a big piece of paper on Friday to make a big firework picture.

 

A musical vistor

Today we Sarah from the Shropshire music service came to visit us and run a musical session with our nursery class. We all listened and joined in really well and we are already looking forward to her visiting again next week.

Foamy fun!

The children helped whisk up the foam and add colour to it. They used their senses to describe how it felt and smelt as well how it changed, lots of great descriptive words…..cold, bubbly, pink etc

Busy morning fingers

Our morning routine as we arrive at nursery is the same each day, we start our day with “busy fingers” working on fine motor skills and hand eye coordination. We are great at settling to our “busy finger” jobs straight away.

 

 

Our school pets visit our classroom

On Thursday we had a great day when the guinea pigs came and spent the day with us.
