Road Safety Week in Nursery
This week in Nursery we have been learning all about Road Safety.
Through role play, small world activities and practical games, the children explored how to stay safe near roads using the key message:
Stop, Look, Listen and Think!
The children practiced crossing at zebra crossings, waiting for the green light, and helping toy pedestrians and cars move safely around our small world city. This has helped them build awareness of real-life situations and understand the importance of staying safe when walking with adults.
Alongside our Road Safety activities, the children were also busy in Maths learning about weight. Using balance scales, they explored and compared objects to find out which were heavy and which were light. They predicted, tested, and sorted different items, developing mathematical language and early investigation skills in a playful, hands-on way.
It has been a fantastic week full of meaningful learning, problem solving, and real-world understanding.
Well done Nursery!
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
This week in Preschool, our book of the week has been Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Through this story, the children have explored important values such as respect for other people’s belongings and learning that we should always ask before touching or using something that isn’t ours.
The story has also helped us practice size language, comparing objects that are small, medium, and big, just like the bears’ bowls, chairs, and beds! The children have enjoyed retelling the story using small-world play.
We also took time this week to reflect on Remembrance Day, learning in an age-appropriate way about remembering people who help keep us safe. The children created their own bright red poppies using paint and printing techniques, which are now proudly displayed in our classroom.
Learning About Frogs!
This week, the children have been learning all about the life cycle of frogs! They have enjoyed discovering how frogs grow and change, from tiny eggs to tadpoles and then to jumping frogs.
The children have also been feeding the frogs using tweezers, which helped them practise their fine motor skills. They have created their own frog crafts, drawing, cutting and gluing with great care and concentration.
Through a puzzle, stories and songs about frogs, the children have explored the stages of the frog’s life in a fun and interactive way. They also had the chance to colour their own frogs, using their imagination to choose creative and vibrant colours.
It’s been a wonderful week full of learning, curiosity and excitement as we discovered the fascinating world of frogs together!
