Nursery Weekly Review
Week ending 17th May 2024
The children have had another busy week thinking about different types of transport and how aeroplanes work. We have read lot's of different stories about going on an aeroplane such as 'Topsy and Tim go on an aeroplane', 'Peppa goes around the world', 'Peppa goes on holiday' and 'Amazing aeroplanes.' The children have enjoyed creating their own aeroplanes using the large community blocks and even made a conveyer belt for the luggage. They made cupcakes for the journey out of playdough and used Lego to build a range of aircrafts.
In Maths we have been thinking about length and we have compared the length of different broomsticks, made long and short worms from playdough and measured our own models.
We have read the story 'Room on a Broom' where we thought about the different rhyming words in the story but also how she travels around. The children have enjoyed finding and drawing rhyming objects and making their own wands and hats.
The children have all been very busy and engaging with lot's of play opportunities too.
Have a lovely weekend.
Gemma, Angie and Bea

In the nursery, we often buy items to supplement the children's learning. From ingredients for playdough to art supplies, small items for you termly themes to large exciting things like the ducklings. To help pay for all this, we are for a £1 a week voluntary contribution.
