We have had a visitor in nursery ! Sergio the tortoise came to visit . We found out he loves to eat lettuce , he likes a bath and he has no ears! But its ok as he can feel vibrations and he has a super special eyesight. His shell has 64 bones in and he puts his head, legs and tail in if he feels scared.

Our caterpillars have made a cocoon around themselves and we are waiting for them to turn into a butterfly! 

We cant wait to see them change.

We have been reading the Rainbow Fish and learning about sharing and being kind to our friends. we loved balancing the shells on the scales.

The farm has been fantastic! We loved meeting the goats, pigs and sheep! We were really gentle when we held the chickens and ducks. 

STEM Week 

This week is super exciting as we have been exploring lots of different scientific experiments! 

We asked the children what they would like to learn and each day they have been amazing with ideas and talking about their learning!

COMIC RELIEF!

Creativity Day

We had a blast today reading books by Oliver Jeffers! We read How to Catch a Star, The Great Paper Caper and The Way Back Home.

Well done Ladybird Class

We have been learning about road safety! We have been learning to hold hands when we cross the road. we have learnt about zebra crossing and pelican crossing. We loved driving on the road and learning to cross safely.

We loved hearing the siren and we loved trying on the uniforms! 

Tizzy

Lost and found!

We came to nursery on Tuesday to find that Tizzy our Early Talk Boost tiger was missing. The box where she lives had been tipped up, and there were footprints all over our floor. 

Our friends at the police came as soon as they could and helped us to find clues as to what had happened to Tizzy. 

The very next day, we received a parcel with Tizzy inside! He had been on an adventure and was safe and welll!!

Should ever be forgot

We had such great fun sitting round the fire with a biscuit and a sparkler! We talked about firework safety and why there so many fireworks to see at the moment!

Arts week!

We have been learning about a street artist called Paul Stone @Mydogsighs. If you're ever in Portsmouth, make sure to check out some of his work around the city.

We were inspired to make lots of process arts, like bubble painting, marbling, foam painting and puffy paints to make our backgrounds. Next we took a photo of our eye and used oil pastels to add detail.

We have been getting excited about autumn and have noticed lots of pumpkins in the shops. We had a great time opening a pumpkin up to see what was inside! We noticed lots of slimey, slippery flesh and hard smooth seeds too. 

We decided to make sure our pumpkin had a big smile and a circle and triangle for eyes too. 

Ladybird class went on a Bear Hunt in the Sunshine! We did not meet any bears luckily but we saw some spiders in their webs and we saw some squirrels running up the trees. We looked carefully for signs of Autumn and we listened to the trees and the river.

We are learning about the colour red and we are learning about the number 2. We know we have two ears and two eyes and two stamping feet.

Welcome back to a new year in Ladybird Class!

We are looking forward to sharing our learning journey with you. This term we will be learning about Ourselves and what makes us special. There is so much to find out!!
