Goldilocks and the Three bears

Hello again! 

  We are continuing the theme of ourselves and this week we've been finishing off our 3-D self portraits by adding bodies and hands and feet. We've been  singing "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" to review and the class are getting good at naming and pointing to their own body parts.

We also read "Goldilocks and the three bears" which the class really liked. We joined in with the repetition and did some bear sorting acivities. Some people pretended to be bears and we had fun mixing our own porridge in the sensory play area. We used all the cooking utensils and the class enjoying mixing and serving it to their friends, and the bears!

Here is a link to the story ...Goldilocks and the Three Bears

  

Part of what we do in Nursery class is to try and introduce the class to new sensory experiences. Having your feet painted is an unusual feeling and some of the class loved it the tickling sensation while others were a little more hesitant... 

 Don't we all look fabulous?!  You can see our creations on display on the staircase so please go and take a peek at who's who!

Lots of communicative play has been happening in the soft play room this week. The class are really making connections with each other.  

 NP are really getting creative and adding things to the map independently. Some of the group are beginning to talk about their pictures and ideas :)

We have been doing lots of singing and dancing activities to wake us up after nap time... Here are some links to a few of the tunes we get down to

 We have been singing Old macDonald had a farm and doing some activities with the farmyard animals. Building pens and sorting the animals into groups is a popular activity and great for counting and catagorizing skills in maths.
