Autumn Term Highlights from Nursery

In Autumn 1, our topic was “All About Me”. The children learned about who they are and what they look like. They started to make sense of their own life-story and their family history. They created self and family portraits using a variety of different media.

They learnt about rules and routines and why it is important to follow them to keep themselves and each other safe and happy. They learnt about how to recognize their own feelings and how to respond appropriately to different emotions.

The children learned about colours and sorting and matching objects. They went on a nature hunt in the Nursery Garden and found tons of rocks, pinecones, conkers, leaves, twigs and flowers and sorted them into groups.

In Autumn 2, our topic was “Through my Eyes” where they read and discussed similarities and differences between each other.

The children have been learning all about the different ways in which they and their classmates celebrate events with their families. They have had the opportunity to learn about Diwali, Eid, Bonfire Night and Christmas!

They’ve designed and bult houses, bridges, boats and other magnificent things with wooden blocks and junk modelling!
