Learning in Nursery Introduction Nursery is a fun and easy way for the smaller children to learn and play. The children are always eager to learn whatever the activity they are going to do. They have been up to lots of fun activities such as doing going on a bear hunt and learning about Chinese New Year.

‘We’re Going On a Bear Hunt’ One of their most recent activities was ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. The children read the book, and then acted it out in their PE lessons. When we asked the class what their favourite part was, most of them said, “THE BEAR BIT!!!”

Learning Letters and Numbers As well as playing, the children have fun with chicken, ladybird and Mr Hand helping them to learn their numbers and letters. “I like learning letters” said Cameron.

Although they have their puppets, they also have a giant abacus to help them count numbers and counting how many people come to nursery each day. Zion said, “Counting numbers with the abacus is fun!”

Chinese New Year Earlier this year, Nursery celebrated Chinese New Year of the Snake. The children did lots of different activities including creating snakes, Chinese cooking, role-play and making music with a variety of instruments.

The snow In January when the snow finally came to us, the nursery children had fun out in their playhouse as well as making snowy pictures in the warmth of their classroom. They had an enthusiastic time exploring ice.

Conclusion As you can see nursery have been busy learning lots and having fun over the last term. They are hoping to do many more activities to extend their learning of numbers and letters.

Having Fun in Nursery Introduction

Nursery is a fun environment for younger children to learn and play. They have been up to all sorts this term, such as making robots, Easter cards and chocolate nests. They have a lovely time playing too!

Robots The children had fun making robots as high as Mr Raindle (who is quite tall). Jake said, “It was challenging making it higher than Mr Raindle but also fun too.”

Reading Books in Nursery The children have been reading lots of books over this half term: No-Bot (they read this as part of their robots topic), Newton and the Big Mess, Dora’s Chicks and Zoom. They have all enjoyed reading these books especially No-Bot!

Learning Numbers The children really enjoy learning numbers with games and communicating with other children.

It’s a fun and easy way to learn numbers.

Craft Making in Nursery For Easter, they each made a bunny box for some chocolate Easter nests. They have also made Easter cards and bunnies.

Nursery made many other things but we could not fit them all in this article!

Conclusion We really enjoyed visiting Nursery and writing this article. We hope they can continue the great work!
