We returned to nursery to find a carpet of leaves in our garden. The children have enjoyed crunching through them and making “leaf snow”! They have also been comparing the different shapes, sizes and colours – and have been learning about the trees that don’t drop their leaves.

 

On our last day before the half term break the children enjoyed dressing up, doing some creative activities and listening to stories.

We are learning about Autumn and the children have been pleased to find some conkers in our garden as they played and explored outside.

The children have been developing their physical skills on our outdoor trim track and looking for signs of Autumn.

We have made the most of the last sunny days and spent most of the time outside. As well as their usual garden areas, the children have also enjoyed visits in their groups to the Woodland area, and to the trim track.

The children are enjoying the familiar routines of nursery now. They are particularly enjoying playing alongside their peers; something which many of them had not have very much of this year. It is lovely to see the nursery busy again with happy children.

It has been lovely this week welcoming back our returning children (some of whom we haven’t seen for a very long time)  and our new children. They have all settled incredibly well – especially considering they all came through the door by themselves! The sunshine has allowed us to have lots of outdoor play, and the children are doing very well keeping in their bubbles and in their designated areas. We think it is helping them to settle quicker as they are not overwhelmed by too much choice.

Thank you everyone for keeping to your allotted drop off and collection times – you have really helped things run smoothly.
