Firstly this week, the children had the opportunity to meet different adults who help us in the school, linking with our topic ‘People who help’. They were able to meet the office staff, The Cook, TAs and some teachers and find out about their jobs in school. The children also enjoyed working as Vets in the home area and been learning how to care for their pets, They have been developing their pencil control, drawing different animals. They have also enjoyed learning about how we protect birds, as it is National Birdwatching week. They have understood how we feed and keep them watered in our gardens and enjoyed making bird feeders by threading cheerios on pipe cleaners for their garden and for our nursery yard. Hopefully some birds might come to our window, as we have added a bird feeder to our window. The children created their own binoculars so they could look out for the different garden birds. In maths, the children learnt about positional language – in front, behind, next to, under, over . . . and this was also linked with them using the apparatus in PE. In Understanding the World, the children have been developing their senses with touch. They have enjoyed exploring in the investigation area, feeling inside the different boxes and describing what they feel.
