All About Me Special Box

In Jade Class children take it in turns to take home our All About Me Special Box.  We are really enjoying learning about each other's family and finding out about what is special to our friends. We feel proud when our Mums and Dads come in to help us talk about the special things we have put into the box.

Snack Café 

The Jade Class snack café is now open every day. We are so proud of the children for being so independent.

We always make sure we wash up when we've finished.

It is a great place to sit and chat.

Pattern and Counting

The children in nursery enjoy using their maths skills in different ways.

Traditional Games

In nursery we learn lots of traditional games and enjoy playing them with our friends. This is ring o' roses.

We love reading

We are particularly enjoying reading books linked to our theme of In The Garden. Reading with a friend means we can talk about our books too.

Caterpillars

Our class caterpillars have arrived and we are so excited. We are watching them very carefully and talking about what we can see. We can't wait to see how they grow.

Mini Beasts

We have been fascinated by the small creatures that live in the garden. They have inspired us to get creative!

Jade Class Baby Clinic

We have expanded our doctors surgery and now have a baby clinic too.

In nursery we have had a baby clinic. We have learnt how to care for others and improved our ability to fasten buttons and zips. We found changing the babies quite challenging, but we keep on trying in Jade Class!

Co-operative Construction

We have worked hard to create amazing buildings and obstacle courses. We are very proud of our good teamwork in Jade Class.

Comic Relief

We celebrated comic relief today. We tried to make each other laugh by pulling funny faces!

Teamwork

In nursery we learn to play and learn together. With good teamwork we created this amazing model!

Yoga

We have been doing yoga to help us stretch and relax.

Mother's Day

In Nursery we have been investigating printing. We used our printing skills to make Mother's Day cards to celebrate and give thanks to the mums, grandmas, carers, sisters and friends who nurture us.

Nursery Maths

We do lots and lots of counting in Jade Class. Here we are counting tiny beans, we need to use our hands and fingers very carefully to put them into the counting frames.

Nursery Science

A rainy day is a good opportunity to learn about colour mixing.  We have made green by mixing yellow and blue powder paint in a puddle!

Jade Class Artists

In Jade class we have been looking closely at plants and noticing the colours, shapes and patterns. We have been drawing what we can see and adding lots of detail.

Group Time

We have group time every day. It is a time to develop our speaking and listening skills. 

Maths

We are practising our counting in lots of different ways. 

We can draw our maths ideas in different ways too.

We have been using a selection of objects to develop our mathematical thinking and language.

Mini Beast Obstacle Course 

We have noticed that mini beasts like to crawl everywhere. Up, over, inside and along. We made our toy mini beasts their own obstacle course and have been learning how to use prepositional language. 

Jade Class Garden Centre

We are selling plants, seeds and garden tools in our garden centre. Plants are very popular.

Growing Seeds

We have been planting seeds.

We water our seeds to help them grow.

Numbers and Counting

We enjoy counting and reading and writing numbers. 

Nursery Mud Kitchen

We have enjoyed making mud mixes.  Would anyone like a mud cake?

Letters and Sounds in Nursery

We have been learning to listen to and make different sounds using musical instruments.

Nursery Authors

We have been writing our own books. We enjoy being authors!

People Who Help Us

We are learning all about people who help us. In Jade Class we have our very own doctor's surgery where our kind and friendly doctors will look after you and help to make you better!

The nursery doctor's surgery has a special dental area too!
