Our Autumn 1 Journey

 New adventures 

We have been busy settling in over the last couple of weeks. The children have embraced the new learning and enjoyed exploring our classroom and all it has to offer. We have been busy making new friend and learning how we all belong together as one big Frogs family. Take a look at a few photos of the children settling in. 

What makes me a me/Owl Babies

Our texts this half term are all about finding out who we are and where we belong. 

We are learning all about families and what each persons family looks like as well as understanding that we now belong to a Frogs family. Through a variety of texts, circle times and provision based activities we will learn how to identify who we are and what makes us special and unique. 

 This week we have been using mirrors to understand what  features we have on our face and how we can describe them. The children enjoyed pulling faces in the mirrors and exploring expressions. 

The children made some comments about what they noticed.

I see myself and my smile - Genevieve  

I am pretty - Liyana

I have blue eyes - Willow

Maths - Colours, matching and pattern

In maths this half tern we began by learning all about colours, first our primary colours and then what happens when we mix. 

We played colour bingo and explored rainbows. 

We used our colour knowledge and we moved onto matching. We learned about things that are the same and things that are not the same. We used colours to begin with but then we moved to matching shapes and objects. The children then used their knowledge within provision finding matching objects. 

Harvest and Diwali

We have celebrated Harvest this week in nursery, we have thought about the farmers and bringing in their crops to share. 

We have explored vegetables and we even joined the whole school Harvest worship. 

Owls

We have been exploring owls and finding out all about them. We painted some and made our own playdough owls. We have really enjoyed our story of Owl Babies this half term.
