Haden's Space story

Haden made a space rocket at school at our junk modelling table. Haden produced this lovely story with Dad all about his Space rocket. 

Haden shared the story with his friends. They love it!

Thank you Haden

Our trip to the allotment

On Wednesday, we went to visit Mr Dawson's allotment to look at all the lovely things he has been growing!

We made sure we were very careful where we walked as we didn't want to step on anyone's plants.

Mr Dawson showed us his chickens that live at the allotment too. He even showed us an egg that one of them had laid!

Here is Mr Dawson showing us potatoes that he has been growing - wow!

As well as growing vegetables, we also found out that Mr Dawson is growing fruit! Here is an apple tree.

Thank you Mr Dawson for letting us visit your allotment. We had a great time!

Here Come The Aliens!

We read the story, "Here Comes The Aliens" by Colin McNaughton.

Together we described some of the aliens in the story. 

Alice and Haden have written their own brilliant alien descriptions! 

We have made our own aliens using play dough and have described them. 

He has 2 ears and 2 hands. He has a mouth and 2 teeth which are baby teeth because he is a baby. He has 1 nose. His name is Willow. He's a her!

He has 2 red eyes, 2 funny ears and yellow feet. He is a round shape. He says, "Bleep, bleep, bleep" His name is Bo-Peep. 

Mummy Alien sent a letter to us at Nursery. She has lost her aliens and would like us to help her to find them. 

We found an alien called Cuddly Muddly by the interactive whiteboard and rang mummy alien and together described it to her. 

Cuddly Muddly is orange Lily-Ann

He's got one eye Archie

Hes got 3 hands Taylor 

He's got green hair George

He looks like a pineapple! Alice 

He's got 2 big feet Abigail

We have really enjoyed looking for the aliens and have thought very carefully when describing them. 

He has 2 white teeth, he had pink lips. He looks like a spider! Farris

My alien has a hat, his tongue is sticking out. He is called Wavy Davy! Mason

Forest School Habitats

The children used natural materials to make homes for Forest School creatures.

Sam made a home for a squirrel.

"I'm putting the sticks against the logs, then tying them with string to make them stay together"

"It's got conkers, acorns and water so it has something to eat and drink. I've made a path to it too"

"We're making a home for a ladybird. We need to use the sticks like this, and strings and pegs to get it to stay together". The girls added a sofa, a bed and a fridge to make the ladybird feel at home!

"I'm making a home for a ladybird. It has dirt, stones and grass. Ladybirds eat grass."

Some animals have made their own homes.

"It's a fox den. The fox goes in there at night"

"I'm making a home for a ladybird. It will have leaves in it because ladybirds eat leaves."

The boys worked together to make a home for a snail.

"We're using stones because they're strong, like bricks."

"There's some grass for the snail to eat, and a log to roll. It's a bit like a playground!"

Can you see the snail?

We found a frog under the log pile.

"Frogs need water to swim in."

"Frogs have 4 legs. 2 long ones and 2 short ones."

Birds live in nests. 

"This is a nest for a robin. It has grass and a sitting room so it can be comfy."

"My nest is for a magpie, tweet tweet!"

"I've made mud cupcakes. It's going to be a home for worms."

"We're digging a hole to build a nest for insects."

Forest school colour matching

Forest school is blooming and becoming more colourful as the weather gets warmer. 

We matched the colours that we found at forest school to colour cards.

Alice found that "the yellow on the card is not bright enough" she held it to the blossom "these are ok, these are a creamy colour".

"The leaves are dark green."

 Wow! A purple flower.

                                                                           

 

Nursery travel survey.

On Tuesday we did a special travel survey for Mr Twyman to find out how we travel to and from school. 

On a bar graph on the interactive white board we all clicked on a picture to show how we travel to school.

I come by car - there's 6 now. 

This is the finished graph for morning Bumble Bees.

Most children come by car to school. Oliver

Second is walking. Alice

This is the finished graph for afternoon Bumble Bees.

Most children come in the car. John

Next is walking. Jesse

2 more people walk than come by car. Haden

Space!

This week at nursery we will be learning all about space!

We watched a space clip on You Tube and saw what planet Earth looks like from space. 

We live on Earth, it's a circle shape. Astronauts go to space in a ship that goes flying up into space. Tohan

Before rockets go into space some people say, "54321 Blast off!" Then the rocket blasts off and zooms into space. Astronauts go into space and and they look at all the things in space and land on the moon. Alice

We enjoyed playing with the space station small world toys. 

At the easel we painted some space pictures. 

I have painted a rocket zooming into space! 

My rocket has the number 1 and 2 next to it. 

Alice used pastels to draw this lovely space picture. 

Using different construction materials we have made rockets. 

My rocket doors open for people to get in and the fuel goes at the bottom. 

On Monday we were busy at Nursery making things for our new Space Station role play area. 

Using pipettes and paint we made a space background.

I have made a shooting star. 

We collaged pieces of paper onto a circle shape to make a big planet Earth.

Here is our finished Space Station role play area! 

For our maths activities this week we will be learning to recognise and order numbers. 

This is our finished rocket number ordering display!

We ordered rockets in order from 1-10 on the interactive white board. 

We counted the correct number of astronauts to match the number on the planet Earth. 

I'm going to put them in a line and count to 10.

In the Writing Area many of us have been practising how to write our names recognisably and using the correct sequence of movements. 

"I'm doing a space walk, these are the stars, the tree is earth, over there is Jupiter & that's Saturn"
