In Nursery we had fun carrying out an experiment. We put dirty coins into a bowl of salt and vinegar, lemon juice, cola and ketchup. We waited for 30 seconds and then took them out to clean. The coin that was in the salt and vinegar was the shiniest!

This week in Nursery, for our maths, we are learning all about shapes. We had fun playing the game ‘Dotty Dinosaurs’ where we had to role a ‘shape’ dice and then find the corresponding shape. The winner was the first person to find all the correct shapes for their dinosaur!
We had fun learning about Diwali in Nursery. We learnt that it is a festival of light and that people watch fireworks and give presents to celebrate. Some of us enjoyed dressing up in traditional Indian clothes. We also made and painted a diva out of clay.
We love mud in Nursery and have really enjoyed making ‘giant mud pies’. We used lots of different ingredients including leaves, bark, twigs and of course lots of mud!
Nursery enjoyed joining the rest of Early Years in a special assembly celebrating Harvest. The Reverend Julie Watkins-Wollner came from St Catherine’s Church to take our Harvest Festival. She also brought her friend ‘squirrel’ with her too! Thank you to all the children and parents who donated food! .
It’s Billy and Rosie bear’s birthday this week and we are really excited about their party! We have been designing our own birthday cakes, making cards, writing invitations and even making our own birthday cakes out of play dough.
In Nursery this week we have enjoyed making ‘heart shaped’ cookies. We mixed all the ingredients together to make a dough. We then flattened the dough out using our hands and used a cookie cutter to make our hearts. Mrs Lindsay put them in the oven to bake. We can’t wait to taste them! Yum!
We enjoyed listening to the story ‘Love Monster’ written by Rachel Bright. We decided to make our own love monsters. We cut out the body using scissors and added a face, arms, legs and a heart. We also enjoyed pretending to be little monsters’!
