It’s been a monster of a week in the Nursery so far. On Monday we read the story Kipper’s Monster by Mick Inkpen. Following the story the children created handprint monsters, on Tuesday they made some very scary looking monsters using tissue and gummed shapes and today they created their very own shape monsters, most of which look very friendly. Can anyone name all of the shapes they used? Well done to our monster superstars!

The Nursery children listened very carefully to the traditional story Goldilocks and the tree Bears. Following the story the children then had to find objects in the nursery that were taller and shorter than themselves. We made bear puppets, matched compare bears to numbers and used foam blocks to build tall and short towers. We think they worked really hard, well done everyone!

We have had a very sensory week in the nursery this week. On Monday the children went on a bare foot walk and tried hard to describe the different textures they could feel. Tuesday we were nose detectives and had to sniff out what was hiding in our tubs, there was cocoa powder,vanilla essence, perfume and curry powder. Wednesday the children used their sense of taste. They tried icing sugar, cocoa powder, lemon and crisps. We talked about the different tastes, bitter, sweet and sour. Thursday was listening Day. We used our ears and went for a listening walk around the school grounds. The children identified lots of diffent sounds birds, cars, trees and someone even thought they heard the bin men! Well done children, super listening! We then set about making our own instruments. We could make one that had a loud, quiet or soft sound. Binocular making on Friday, I wonder what we’ll see. Well done everyone!
