Nursery’s Wonderful Week of Learning

This week Nursery has been full of creativity, exploration and fun. We began by learning about different emotions. The children enjoyed practising facial expressions to show their feelings, and then used playdough to bring those emotions to life—squeezing, flattening, and rolling the dough was a big hit! From there, we moved on to a playful way of making marks by rolling toy cars onto paint. The children loved watching the colourful tracks appear as their cars zoomed across the paper.

We’ve also been practising our cutting skills with scissors, and our construction area has quickly become a favourite place to be—robots and houses made from Duplo pieces have been especially popular. Alongside this, we have been learning to take turns in group and sports games, building important social skills. In maths, the children focused on subitising—learning to recognise amounts without counting.

We also started our very first Early Phonological Awareness (Phonics) lesson by singing Nursery rhymes and tuning in onto sounds.
