This week in Nursery we explored natural treasures such as acorns, conkers and pinecones that we find in the park, woods or even our gardens. The children enjoyed the sensory experience of sorting and counting these natural treasures.

We have had a fun week of creative role play, where a family of Gruffalo’s moved into the woods under the stairs. We re-enacted and re-told versions of the story of the story by Julia Donaldson, both in our ‘woods’ and in the story tray.

In the letter room, the children created homes for ladybirds with logs and leaves. We looked at the different shapes of leaves found in the playground – comparing, matching and describing their shapes and edges.

On Friday we read ‘Ava’s Poppy’ by Marcus Pfister.  Everyone made a poppy, creating a poppy field in preparation for Remembrance Day.
