This Week we have been celebrating Chinese New Year! We have made our own drums, Chinese dragons, lucky red envelopes and lanterns. We have also practised using chop sticks and have had fun dressing up in new Chinese clothing. We turned our role play area into a Chinese new year house and practiced cooking rice and noodles. We read lots of stories about Chinese New year especially about the Chinese Zodiac animals. It has been lots of fun!

We loved our Nativity! Here we are getting ready to go to the Hall to perform!

Please click on the image to expand the photograph so that you can see the full class!

As part of our Early Talk Boost Program we celebrated Jake’s Birthday. Jake is the character in the stories we have been reading about. We had a big party to celebrate his 4th Birthday. We made our own sandwiches, ate party food, played party games, watched jake blow his candles out and sand Happy Birthday. It was lots of fun!

Nursery Fun!

We have been having lots of fun in nursery exploring on, in and under and speaking in full sentences. We have looked at Why its important to wash our hands and have looked at the changes in the season. We have been focusing on our shapes and developing our fine motor skills.

Look at our Firework pictures that we have created on the IPADs.

We learnt how to put on our waterproofs and wellington boots. Then we jumped in the puddles to make big splashes. Last of all we mixed some powder paint into the puddles to find out what would happen.

We have been looking at the changes in the seasons and what happens when it is Autumn. We have collected Autumn objects and had a walk in the school wooded area. We looked for animals and their habitats.

This morning we had a visit from the Chester Zoo Rangers who came to talk to us about birds. We looked at what animals need to be classed as a bird, we felt feathers and listened to the different sounds that birds make.

Watch our video about how smart we are!

This week we have been exploring the different areas! We have made a stage in the construction outside, painted pictures, coloured in our favourite characters to practice holding a pen, read stories, had picnics in the playdough, played ‘house’ and played football outside.

Look at what we have been doing in Nursery!

Look what Peter Rabbit has been doing during the holidays! We can’t wait to hear what you have been up to when you come to Nursery in September!

On Friday nursery class released our butterflies.

They flew away and we think they went looking for some brightly coloured flowers to drink the tasty nectar.

Our chicks have hatched and the children are very excited. We have been helping to look after them and learning about how to keep them safe and healthy.

Take a look at our photos.

We are so excited in nursery today, guess what has happened.

We took the chicks out of their incubator and put them into a brooder box with a warm lamp to help dry their feathers.

We had such an amazing day at Manchester Airport Runway Visitor Park this week. Take a look at the photos below.

Thank you to all of the parents who came along to help supervise the children

The ladies let us pretend to be a pilot in the cockpit. We also dressed up and learned about all of the different jobs in the airport. Which one would you like to be? Why?

Then we went to see the biggest aeroplane called concord with it’s very long and pointy nose. It’s wings were a funny shape and the wheels were bigger than the nursery children!

Practice number recognition and counting skills using these online games.

Abigail found a blackbird’s nest in her garden. Her family have been watching the baby birds hatch and grow and have kindly shared photos and videos with us at nursery so that all the other children can enjoy it.

The images are below to share with your children. What do the baby birds look like? Are they changing? what is happening to them?

Happy bird watching!

Nursery have been learning about the animals that live under the sea. 

We enjoyed observing a real fish and learning about the different parts of a fish. Why does the fish have a tail? How does it use its fins? How does a fish breathe? 

The children created a giant fish by cutting out shiny scales.

We found out about clown fish and we know that they live in sea anemones because they don’t sting them. They weave between the anemones and clean them. The children made their own anemone and clown fish model.  

We know that the sea and ocean are large areas of water and that the edge of the sea is usually made of sand. We call it the beach. Look at our beach art. We created the waves using our fingers in the paint. Then we added sand to create the beach. We exercised our fingers by weaving a giant sea through a net for our role play area. 

In maths the children discovered which was nursery’s favourite sea creature by making a pictograph.

We wanted to know why sea turtles sometimes come onto the beach and we found out that they lay their eggs in a nest buried under the sand. Ask us about the sea turtle life cycle.

Here are some photographs of all our work so far. Next week we will be looking at shells.

Watch the video below to see what nursery did during the Shakespeare Festival.

Happy Mother’s Day. Here is a little story that we have been learning. It is called ‘A Bit Lost’ by Chris Haughton. 

We have been learning about the story, written by William Shakespeare, called ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.

Morning nursery class were very lucky to be invited for a special Read and Rhyme Time at Moss Bank Library for World Book Day.

We were dressed up as our favourite book characters and had a wonderful time. Can you guess who we were?

Mrs Taylor challenged the children in nursery to design and build a bridge for the the troll to live under. They were allowed to use anything from the nursery classroom and given a mini troll doll. Have a look at the photos to see the results. 

Well done to these children who achieved 100% attendance last half term in nursery.

As we were dressed up and walking the whole class to the library this morning, home school diaries will not be sent home this week. 

Please click on the button below to play a phonics game. The children have been learning to hear, say and match the initial sound in words. 

We have been learning to retell the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff in nursery. You have been set some homework tasks based on the story. You can watch the video to jog your memory.

We enjoyed learning all about what happens at Chinese New Year. The children listened to the legend of Nian. We looked at some of the traditions such as lucky envelopes, Chinese lion dancing and when our parents stayed and played we made Nian puppets, lanterns and Chinese drums. 

On Friday we wore red for our Chinese New Year celebration day. We tried some delicious Chinese food and performed a lion dance for the whole of the school. I hope we weren’t too noisy!!

How can you help the Gingerbread man?

Last week, the children in nursery were problem solving. We thought about how the gingerbread men were hiding from the fox. They couldn’t cross Carr Mill Dam because they would get soggy! They knew they couldn’t trust Mr Fox because he would eat them up. The morning children decided to make a boat for the Gingerbread man and the afternoon children thought they would make a trap to capture Mr Fox, so he couldn’t eat them.

Here are some pictures of our work.

We were very lucky last week when somebody found our Gingerbread men hiding under a tree at Carr Mill Dam. They couldn’t cross the dam and were hiding from Mr Fox. They were returned safe and sound and so we decorated them nicely and gobbled them up! 

Click on the yellow button below to play the Gingerbread Man Game

We made some gingerbread men, but when we left them out to cool they had disappeared! Where do you think they have gone? Can you find them?

Nursery children enjoyed exploring bubbles last week. 

How do you make small bubbles? How do we make big bubbles? How can you make lots of bubbles?

We watched as they floated away, up to the clouds and chased them and popped them. 

Nursery have been finding out all about Autumn this term.

They have enjoyed collecting and playing with Autumn leaves and seeds, making bonfire night pictures, talking about Halloween and making witches hats.

Please have a look at the pictures below to see how they got on.

The children in Nursery celebrated the end of the year with a Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

Well done to each and every one of you. We have has a fantastic year and we wish you all lots of luck as you move into Reception Class.

Thank you to all the parents and carers for your support throughout the year!

For Carr Mill’s 60th anniversary celebrations each class were asked to look at a decade of Carr Mill. In nursery, the children learned about the 1990’s. The time when their parents were children and teenagers.

We found out about the music and dances from the 1990’s:

• we danced to Whigfield’s ‘Saturday Night’
• the Spice Girls came to perform ‘Wannabe’

We played with games and toys from the 1990’s

• Hungry Hippos
• Toy Story
• Bob the Builder

We had some tasty snacks from the 1990’s.

All the children dressed up as something connected to the 1990’s. please take a look at our photos!

Nursery had a fantastic day at Sea Life Manchester.

We saw so many sea creatures and learned lots of new information about them.

Did you know:

• sea horse dads have the babies?

• starfish can have up to 40 legs?

• sharks never run out of teeth, they keep growing new ones?

• octopuses have nine brains?

• turtles date back to the time of the dinosaurs?

• sharks never stop swimming and so can’t sleep like we do?

Take a look at the photos below, to see what an amazing time we had.

The children were very excited this week when they got to prepare the brooder box and meet our chicks for the first time. We looked very carefully at the chick’s beaks and feet and we loved how fluffy their feathers were.

Overnight we managed to capture some footage of the chicks hatching. The children are so excited to welcome the new members of the class!

I wonder what we should name them?

Today we read Oliver’s Fruit Salad. Afterwards we thought it would be really fun to make our own fruit salad. The children remembered that they should wash their hands before preparing food. Then used the knives carefully to cut the fruit into pieces. Once it had been cut, they chose which fruit they would like in their fruit salad.

It was such a beautiful, sunny day we decided to eat our delicious, healthy fruit salad outside.

We were very excited this morning when we discovered that there were some little cracks appearing in the eggs. It won’t be long now, so we decided to prepare the brooder.

The children helped to make sure everything was nice and clean and dry. Then we prepared the soft warm bedding at the bottom of the brooder. The children new that the chicks would need water and food so we got those ready too.

We can’t wait to care for our new baby chicks!

We have been using shapes to make repeating patterns. Can you see what our patterns are?

During aspirations week the children in nursery found out about the different sorts of jobs that they could do when they grow up.

Take a look at our pictures to see all the fun we had pretending to be firefighters completing our ladder training, looking after others in the hospital, caring for pets in the vets and calling for the emergency services outside.

The children wrote and drew pictures of what job they want to do when they are grown up.

Check out our pictures of the children playing in Learning Street.
