Nursery Class has adopted the Gospel value & virtue of 'happiness' and 'beauty'.
Happiness - Ephesians 6:2-3
The commandment that ends with a promise is: Honour your father and your mother so that you may live a happy life.
St. Paul reminds us, in his letter to the Ephesians, that those who honour their father and their mother will have a happy life.
Beauty - Psalm 8:3-4
When I look up at the heavens, the moon and the stars you set firm - what are we that you think of us: we are so small, yet you care for us.
Think about the world around us. Notice the beauty of the trees and the flowers, of all the different people and animals. Look up at the sky and the clouds: the sun in the daytime and the moon and stars at night.
Nursery Class have adopted the British Value of 'Friendship'.
Throughout the Nursery year, we will be learning to become good friends.
Our first topic this year is Winter and we have enjoyed looking for signs of winter and learning about ice and snow. We have painted snow flakes, made snow and made and felt ice.
As part of our Winter topic some children brought prior knowledge of ice and snow from the film 'Frozen' and taught us how to sing it with actions!

Welcome to Nursery! We look forward to working with you throughout the year and sharing our fantastic experiences together.
Settling in and making friends
The 3 bears and Goldilocks
We loved the story of the 3 bears but some children wanted to know what porridge was so we counted scoops for different sized bowls and then we tasted it! Some of us loved it and ate it all up just like goldilocks.
Reading
We love books and hope you will love sharing books at home with your child.
When sharing a book look at the front cover and discuss -what is the title, what do you think it is going to be about, who is the author?
As you share the book encourage your child to turn the pages and talk together about what you see and what is happening using the pictures as prompts.
Reading and sharing books will help your child's learning and developmant as well as building strong foundations for later reading and writing.
I will put the books we are sharing each week on the class dojo with links.
We practised our fine motor skills by threading cheerios onto spagetti then we counted them to see how many we could fit on.
We made musical instruments for DT and then we decorated them and played them!
Autumn 1
Our topic this half term is 'Ourselves'as we enjoy getting to know each other and settle into our nursery and become familiar with our new routines. We will be talking about the things we love, our families and our experiences. Autumn will help us discuss colours and animals that hibernate.
