This week we’ve created some amazing constructions, fantastic art work and continued to develop of mathematical thinking in provision. Working together and sharing our ideas.
Our new starters are settling in so well, becoming more familiar with the Nursery routines and finding their way around. Great work green group! Our September starters have done a fantastic job in welcoming them. Lots of new friendships are beginning to form which is wonderful to see.
In Maths this week we’ve been exploring the concept of heavy and light. The children have been searching nursery for objects that are heavy and those that are light. We found lots of different things. How did you get on at home ? Remember to let us know using the nursery email address scholesnursery@spherefederation.org
Each half term we have vocabulary that we focus on. The adults in nursery use this vocabulary when they play with the children in the areas of provision. Over the past few weeks the vocabulary we have focused on has been-
winter
frozen
melting
igloo.
We have used our small world area, sensory area and our outdoor area to introduce and reinforce this vocabulary. The igloo in the small area has supported this learning.
Help at home
You could continue this learning by continuing to use this vocabulary, where appropriate, at home too.

The children are really enjoying making models from boxes, kitchen rolls, plastic pots etc. You’ve probably noticed as so many amazing creations have been making their way home. We’re sadly running out of resources to make these models. If you have any of the items listed below, instead of popping them into your recycling bin, we would love them in nursery.
Items we need
cardboard boxes (cereal box sized are the largest we need)
kitchen roll tubes (not toilet rolls)
plastic pots
plastic lids
plastic bottles
Have a happy and healthy weekend and thank you as always for your continued support.
