Two's Room Exploring the outdoors!
We have had lots of fun today exploring the outdoor area in the beautiful sunshine. We practised riding on the bikes, using our legs to push ourselves. We enjoyed climbing on the climbing frame and sliding down the slide. We had fun popping bubbles too!
UTW- Celebration of Eid
Celebration of Eid The children today learnt about Eid. How it is celebrated and what happens before and on this special day. We had children from Year 6 that came down to nursery to talk about Ramadan and how they fasted for 30 days and did not eat in the day time. After this time the children talked about Eid and how they celebrated with family and friends, they went to the Mosque and received gifts. We then sat together to enjoy some food.
Reception - Purple Mash - Spring Flowers
Reception Class have been using the Purple Mash program- 2Paint to create their flowers. The children had to select their paint and use the toolbar to adjust the thickness of their paint. They used the pen on the interactive board to place their marks and create their flowers.
Reception - Comparing Cars Move Down Ramps
Today Reception class have been comparing how different cars and othher objects move down the ramps. The children observed that the cars went faster when the ramp was at more of an incline. The children then extended this activity by building ramps using different objects and they used boxes and blocks to create different structures to roll their cars down.
Two's Room, Exploring Transport.
We have been busy exploring the different types of transport that we have. We have enjoyed playing in the tuff tray with the trucks, filling and emptying them with the different cereals. We had fun using the ramps to see how far the cars could go. We had fun colouring in the different pictures of transport too using paints and felt tips.

Reception Class - Story Time - Whatever Next!
Today during story time the children acted out the different parts of our story Whatever Next! baby Bear and Owl met up and flew to the moon on a fantastic adventure! The children had remembered lots of vocabulary from the story and they were able to sequence the different events.
Pre-School - Transport
In Understanding the world this week we have looked at old and new transport. We looked at different pictures of new transport and we recognised a lot of them but then we looked at old transport pictures and how they used to be. The children picked out features and questioned why it was like that. We then played a matching game with the objects and pictures.
Reception- RE - The Wise and Foolish Builders
Yesterday in R.E we looked at the story of the wise and foolish builders. After reading the story together we decided to create this scenario ourselves. The children built two lego houses, one of them stood on a solid foundation and the other stood on the sand. We used lots of water to mimic a flood, one house stood strong and the other fell down! The moral of the story being, if we listen to the words of God we will be wise and stand strong just like the builder who built his house on the rocks.
Reception - Maths - Number Bonds to 10
Today the children have continued exploring number bonds to 10. We showed the different number bonds using our fingers. We then drew them on to our boards, representing the different numbers.
Reception - Floating and Sinking
In science today we have been exploring different items that float and sink. The children made their predictions about each item before we tested their theories. We definitely had some surprising discoveries! The children had some great observational comments and explained why they thought some items sank while others floated.
