A day in the life at Nursery

A day in Nursery

We are so excited you are joining us. When you join us will be in a home group with some new friends. You might be a Dragonfly, Bumblebee, Honeybee, Butterfly or Ladybird. Your teachers are Miss Pratt and Miss Blackwell.

I say goodbye to my parent and hello to my teacher at the door.

I hang up my bag and coat on my peg with my name on it.

Then I find my name and put it on the green leaf.

I sit on the carpet singing songs or doing some drawing and counting while the rest of my friends arrive.

We sing another song and then do a fun warm up altogether!

After that I go to my home group, stand on a spot and then find out what we’re doing today.

Sometimes

we do some counting; sometimes we listen to different sounds we can hear.

Then it’s choosing time. I can go anywhere I want to! We say ‘Choose it, use it, put it away.’

Outside I can play in the sand pit with the dinosaurs or trucks. So that we all have fun, I don’t throw sand or take it out of the sand pit.

I can see what happens to the water when I pour it.

I can climb all over our amazing clamber stack. I can have a go on the monkey bars.

I can make a chocolate pizza in the mud kitchen.

I can find new things growing in our garden, or make up stories in our Wendy house.

I can make a pirate ship out of blocks, or use the woodwork table to make anything I like.

I can make a feast with the play dough, or relax in the swing chair with a friend.

When the tambourine rings, we all freeze! It’s time for snack.

We all wash our hands, ask politely for milk or water, count out the fruit, and munch happily while we listen to a story.

After we have tidied away our snack, it’s another choosing time!

I can make up a dance on the stage.

I can create a brilliant model on the Design and Making table or paint a masterpiece.

I can use the natural objects or light box to create a beautiful arrangement.

I can write on my tummy in the writing area, or use an envelope to send a letter to my friend.

I can use the blocks to make another world for the small animals.

I can play with the maths resources or strengthen my fingers with the fine motor activities.

I can use the role play area with my friends to go to imaginary places.

I can play with the technology equipment.

Then it’s tidy up time. We help put things away to make the Nursery look spick and span.

After all that fun it’s time for a lie down.

Then we line up, wash our hands ready for lunch and sing a song together.

Some of us go outside for outdoor games.

I have my lunch in the garden room on some special tables with my friends.

Some of us get ready to go out to Forest School!

We play in the Forest School and do fun things like building dens and going on bug hunts.

Then we come back into Nursery to relax a while. Then we have more choosing and another snack!

Once we have tidied up our afternoon choosing, we collect our bags and wait for our name to be called to go home.
