Nursery have been busy this week, we have been learning about our different emotions, listening to the story of ‘The Colour Monster’ and learning about the different emotions: happy/sad/calm/ fear/angry/ love and looking confused. The children enjoyed looking in a mirror and changing their expressions. We have also been focusing on reciting numbers to 5/ 10, counting objects, hiding and counting objects in the sand and always counting when lining up. Then we moved onto the importance of harvesting and watched ‘My first festival’ on harvesting. The children enjoyed painting with vegetables and creating scarecrows. They also have had their PE sessions, developing their skills in movement and playing a ‘tag’ game.
