Little Gems

We are so proud of the way our new Little Gems have settled into nursery life. Our returning children have also made us proud; they have been extremely welcoming.  It is lovely to watch new friendships develop and see the children’s confidence grow.

Little Gems have been looking at Light and Dark this half term, they have enjoyed learning about the animals that live among us but only come out at night. You could ask them what word we use to describe these animals and to name a couple of them.

We have looked at the artist Van Gough and his picture The Starry Night, the children enjoyed creating their own versions using paint, tissue paper, bottle tops and different textured materials.

This term we have looked at different celebrations that our friends celebrate with their families such as Diwali. We also created our own poppies for Remembrance Day and learnt about why we wear them.

The children enjoyed discovering ice in our garden on a very frosty and cold day. We talked about how it got there, and how we could melt it. They decided we needed the sun to help melt it or they could use their warm hands!

They have also enjoyed learning to play board games while recognising numbers one to three.

The children have worked extremely hard learning all our Christmas songs, we hope you enjoyed our Christmas Concert.
