Our focused story for this week has been 'The three little pigs'. The children have been experimenting with different materials to build houses for the pigs. Today we made brick houses with the lego. The children persevered when linking the blocks together and made some beautiful structures for their pigs to live in. Some children used positional language in their play describing the placement of their bricks, 'on top'. We then pretended to be the big bad wolf to see if our brick houses were strong or if they would fall down!

Nursery - Literacy - Mark Making
During our Chinese new year celebrations, the children made their own red envelopes and gifted them to a friend in class. The children used various different pencil grips to hold their crayons and scribed on their paper to create marks. Some children were even able to give meanings to their marks and tell their friends what they had drawn. The children then placed their good luck pictures inside red envelopes, along with a chocolate golden coin to represent the money usually gifted in these Chinese traditions. The class enjoyed exchanging their envelopes with each other and talking about the pictures they had drawn.

Nursery - Maths - Using Size And Number Language
During maths this week we have been working on number language and understanding size. The children played a game together, hiding golden coins under different sized cups.

Once the coins were found, the children were encouraged to count their coins, some children did this independently!
