Our topic this term is 'People who help us', we had some fabulous doctors in Nursery today!

The children took part in an activity that involved using their sense of smell, they were blind folded then asked to guess the smell of each scent, coffee and lemon was the most difficult to guess, with chocolate being the easiest!

Today we celebrated Dwali, we coloured in some Mehndi pictures, made lanterns and listened to year 1 tell a story. All the children looked fantastic in their celebration clothes and have had a brilliant day!

creating shapes and patterns, the children enjoyed this activity.

A game of number recognition, the children tried so hard, well done!

Learning our shapes playing shape monsters.

We played a game that helps us to learn our colours.

Mark-making has been fun!

Enjoying arts and crafts

Playing with dry and wet sand, they realised they could only build sand castles with wet sand!

Water play was popular!

The children are settling into Nursery nicely, so proud of them all.
