They have loved using the trolleys, baskets and different props to support their play. They have created narratives collaboratively and acting out their experiences. It has been…

In PE we have been taking part in dancing. 

This week we loved learning dance moves and adding these to music. We started with warming up to a familiar dance, following the actions as best as we could. We then took some of these moves and made our own sequence. We added music and danced.

This week we have been tracing around different shapes. We have then practised forming the shapes independently. Our pencil grips have improved so much since September and our control with a pencil is always improving. 
Great work Ducklings 

We are beginning to write our names in nursery as we are now able to recognise them. We used our name cards to copy letters from our name. 
Super writing! 

This week in maths we have been using positional Language. We moved the teddy to different positions and we will be looking at using this language within our play. 
 

We focused on ‘in front, behind, on top, next to’.

It was super fun and they very very tasty!

We have learnt about the past! I know the past is something that has already happened. 

We have enjoyed learning about different toys that children used in the past. We have been looking at they toys and exploring how to use them, our favourite was the jack in the box! We looked at the…

This week we have been very lucky to have snow! The children were super excited to tell me what they saw on the way to school. We discussed as a class that we have moved into a new season - Winter. We talked and looked at images of different signs to look out for. We then went to explore our…

In maths this week the children have been identifying 'more' and 'less' between groups. We used objects, pictures and numbers to develop and expand our knowledge. The children have then challenged themselves by changing amounts to make 'more' or 'less'. 

We were super at using the correct…
