November
What another busy and exciting month in Little Pearls Nursery, we have enjoyed so many things this last month, with the highlight this week, not only one but two school trips!
Our first trip to the cinema was a first for many of our youngest children and we were blown away with how we they behaved and sat for the film. Our second trip to Santa's Secret Forest, was truly magical and it was a joy to watch the magic through the children's eyes. Again, we were blown away with how well our Little Pearls managed such a long journey and long day!! They have done us proud as always!!
A recap of what we have learnt about throughout this last month:
We have continued learning about our families and celebrations, we have enjoyed looking at pictures of our families and especially guessing who is in the baby photos.
During phonics, the N2s have been enjoying 'What's in the box' focusing on a new sound each week and playing lots of listening games.
In maths we have been learning to count in strings up to 5, which we have been doing through songs and counting games such as 'What time is it Mr wolf?'.
We try to get down onto the field as often as possible, we are now lucky enough to have a fantastic summer house, which is perfect for shelter to keep cosy on the colder days. The children have helped dig a huge hole in our area, we then waited for the rain and had so much fun jumping in the muddy puddles! We have enjoyed exploring lots of aspects of nature and noticing the change in the weather, melting ice has been the highlight of outdoor play this week.

What another busy and exciting time in Little Pearls Nursery, we have enjoyed so many things over the last couple of weeks
Our trip to the Panto was a first for many of our youngest children and we were blown away with how we they behaved and sat for the show. It was a brilliant show that had us laughing, singing, and dancing.
We took part in our Nativity, this year as a flock of little lambs, the children all worked really hard learning their songs and did so well singing in front of our three different audiences.
A recap of what we have learnt about throughout this last month:
We have focused on developing pencil control and mark making, using our skills to write Christmas cards and labels, in our Christmas post office and Santa's grotto.
During phonics, the N2s have been enjoying 'What's in the box' focusing on a new sound each week and playing lots of listening games.
In maths we have been recognising patterns and repeats, through songs, stories, objects, and actions.
We try to get down onto the field as often as possible, on the 10th we enjoyed welcoming our nursery parents to come and join in with our festive activities on the field. We enjoyed making reindeer food, weaving nature trees, having hot chocolates, and making mud reindeer jars.
This week we had great fun at our Christmas party and had a special visit from Santa who brought us an early gift!
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, we look forward to seeing you in the new year.
