November Learning.We have been learning all about shapes at Nursery. How many different shapes can you find at home. Can you name and describe them? These are just some of the shapes we found outdoors at Nursery!
During November, we have continued to learn about Autumn and celebrated Diwali. When celebrating Diwali, we shared the story of The Runaway Chapati, attached below. The children enjoyed making chapatis with their own dough to help to retell the story!
Celebrating Diwali- We worked very carefully to use salt dough to make diva lights. We arranged sequins very carefully on to our lights, using wonderful fine motor skills!
Happy hedgehogs! We had lots of fun manipulating clay to make hedgehogs. We then used brilliant counting skills to count out 10 matchsticks for their spikes!
Look at out super clay and hand print hedgehogs!
