Nursey have settled brilliantly into Thorp school life and have thoroughly enjoyed their first full week.
We have been reading “We’re Going On A Bear Hunt”, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear” and lots more. The children have been painting pictures from “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” that are now on the wall and look fabulous!
Our favourite rhymes so far are “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and “Five Little Monkeys Jumping On A Bed.”
Today we celebrated Chinese New Year by eating prawn crackers and spring rolls. Kung Hei Fat Choi everybody.
This week we have been learning about Chinese New Year. We have completed lots of different activities and made Chinese lanterns. We have found the first letter of our name in Chinese and painted it with fine paintbrushes. We have also been writing Chinese numbers and mark making in red sand.
I wonder what our nursery and reception children will be doing this week?
Nursery thoroughly enjoyed singing and dancing with Millie Cuncliffe on Thursday. We sang ‘the frog song’ and danced to ‘Chichiwa’.
Yesterday nursery and reception had their Christmas party. We had so much fun dancing, playing games and eating.
We even had a surprise visit from Santa. He couldn’t stay because he is so busy.
We hope you like our pictures.
Ta Dah!
Our lamps are all glazed and finished! Don’t they look great?
Phase 2…….
careful decorating of the Diva lamps
Nursery have found out about how Sikh and Hindu people prepare for Diwali through a video on cbeebies.
if you paste http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/lets-celebrate-diwali into your internet browser you can watch it too!
One of this week’s activities in the setting is to carefully colour in a Rangoli pattern. They put these patterns on their front doorstep.
This is a great example of very thoughtful and careful colouring.
