Nursery - Science - What's in the Gift?
This week the children in nursery class have been investigating the hidden objects inside presents. The children were asked what they thought would be inside, but we couldn't see anything! Once the gift was placed on the light table, a shadow appeared, the children were challenged to spot characteristics of the shadows they could see to enable them match the correct gifts. The children really enjoyed choosing their own presents and observing what objects appeared when placed on the light table.

Nursery - Computing - Navigating purple Mash. Create A Stocking
In Nursery class this week we have been looking at Christmas celebrations. To tie in with this, the children decorated their own stockings on purple mash. The children have been learning how to navigate the draw function on this website, understanding that they need to scroll to find the different colours and making the link between the colour selected and observing the change in colour of their marks. The children made marks on their stockings in different ways, some children made lines and movements with their finger to create marks and others decided to tap the screen to create dots. They made some beautiful stockings!

In Nursery class this week, we have been getting into the Christmas spirit! We got our Christmas tree out and an array of decorations for the children to hang on the tree. The children were encouraged to use a pincer grip to open the string on the baubles, perfect early practice for pencil grip! We also spoke about the colours that the children could see. Found big and small baubles. Discussed the shapes we could see. And spoke about the textures of the different decorations, shiny, sparkly, smooth, rough, fluffy... The children have loved rearranging the baubles throughout the week and admiring the different decorations.
