Have a look at our fun learning in Nursery

Farm visit

The children had a wonderful time learning about farm animals when Ark Farm came to visit. They listened to the farmer talking about how to care for the animals and had time to stroke and brush the different animals.

Under the Sea

The children looked at the image 'Under The Sea' by Samiran Sarkar. They then mixed colours to make a group version and their own painting of 'Under the Sea.'

Pond Visit

We visited the park to look for frogs. The children saw rogs, newts and watersnails. They then went to look for signs of Spring in the park.

Bookies and Cookies

Everybody enjoyed listening to some stories with a grown-up at Bookies and Cookies.

Library Trip

Healthy Eating

The children made a Goat using rice cakes, bread sticks and a mixture of fruit. They also enjoyed making porridge.

Metal detectors

The children played with the metal detectors looking for treasure in the sand.

pumpkin soup

We made pumpkin soup using our pumpkins grown in our garden.

Birthday Party

We had a birthday party for Maisie Mouse from our core text Happy Birthday Maisie. The children made biscuits, dressed up in their party clothes and had a birthday tea.

Playdoh Mountain

The children looked at a picture of 'Playdoh Mountain' by Jeff Koon. The children were able to recreate the mountain by rolling and squeezing play dough of their own.

2023-2024

Have a look at some of our fun learning in Nursery.

Monet's Garden

The children looked at images of Monet's Garden and mixed paint to make their own interpretation of the picture. They had lots of fun mixing blobs of paint together to make different colours.

Ark Farm Visit

We were very lucky to have Ark Farm visit the Nursery. The children were allowed to stroke the various animals including a rabbit, donkey, sheep and goats. They found out about what the animals ate and watched how they moved.

Which animal was your favourite?

How did the animals feel?

Gecko visit

Gary the Gecko came to Nursery. He moved very carefully around his tank and opened his mouth very wide. Did you know gecko's eat crickets?

Tortoise visit

Mrs A bought in her pet Tortoise 'Pumpkin' for the children to see. She told us about what Pumpkin eats, where she sleeps and what she eats.

Pond dipping at Bury Lodge

We walked to Bury Lodge to find some frogs. When pond dipping we found newts, frogs and water snails. It was very exciting completing our 'Pond Scavenger Hunt.'

Gardening

We love to look after our garden in Nursery. We have planted radishes, lettuce, squash, beans and flowers.

Woodwork -

Hand drill

The children used careful hand-eye co-ordination to drill holes into wood.

Visit to Ridge Avenue Library

We went to Ridge Avenue Library to read some book and sing some Nursery Rhymes.

Woodwork -

Hammering into wood

The children have been busy learning how to hammer into soft wood and hard wood.

Visit to the Post Box

Everybody made a Christmas Card and walked to the local post box to send it to their family or friends.

Soup Making

We used the pumpkin from our garden and other vegetables to make soup. The children had the opportunity to cut the vegetables and taste the soup when it was made.

Woodwork -

Pumpkin Hammering

We grew our own pumpkins in Nusery. After looking at them and talking about them, we used hammers to hit golf tees into the pumpkins.

Photos 2022-23

Construction

The children built a bus as they wanted to go on a journey to Enfield town. They decided that it was number 22.

We sang 'The wheels on the bus' whilst we were on our journey

Metal detectors

Look at us exploring with the metal detectors in the sand! We sorted out the metal and non-metal items.

Woodwork

The children have been learning how to use a hammer safely. They used the hammer and nails to attach hammer beads to the wood.

Library Trip

The children went on a walk to the local library. We explored the library and found out about all of the different things that we could do there.

Post box trip

The children visited the Post box to post Christmas cards to their family and friends. When we returned to school, the children helped to draw a map, describing their route.

Children in need

Everybody took part in lots of activities for Children in Need. The children made Pudsey Necklaces and sold them at the end of the sessions to raise money for charity.

Remembrance day

The children made Poppies and 'planted' them outside with all of the other poppies made in school. When they returned to class, the children watched a short clip about Rememberance Day.

Ice making

The children made ice and explored how water changed from a liquid to a solid. Later in the day, the children watched the ice melt when hot water was poured onto it.

Fine Motor Skills

Before using the woodwork bench we practise hammering golf tees into pumpkins to help develop our hand eye co-ordination

We grew the pumpkins ourselves in the nursery garden.

Role Play

We loved pretending to be vets in the outside area! We learnt how to care for animals and make them better. We looked at x-rays to check the animals bones.
