Nursery

Week Ending 07/11/25

This week we introduced our exciting new topic — Celebrations! The children explored a range of materials linked to different celebrations, such as birthdays, Diwali, Christmas, Eid, Hanukkah and birthdays. We had a lovely group discussion about the special celebrations we enjoy with our families, such as birthdays, weddings, and religious festivals. The children shared their own experiences — from blowing out candles and wearing party clothes, to enjoying special foods and spending time with loved ones.

The children went on an autumn walk, looking carefully at the changes happening in our environment. We collected lots of autumn treasures along the way — shiny conkers, crunchy leaves, and interesting sticks. The children were so excited to spot all the different shapes, sizes and colours around them! When we returned, we used our collections to create our very own Autumn Investigation Station .

This week we’ve been celebrating Bonfire Night with lots of exciting, creative and hands-on learning experiences! The children explored firework art using toilet roll tubes cut into shapes to print colourful explosions across the page — they loved seeing how the paint spread and mixed to make bright, sparkly patterns in the sky!
