PT2.🍂🐿️ Autumn has arrived in Reception! 🐿️🍂
Our classroom has been feeling wonderfully autumnal this week as we’ve been enjoying the story The Squirrels Who Squabbled. 📚🍁

We’ve been developing our fine motor skills by practising our SkillsBoard skill of the week — using scissors carefully to cut along lines. ✂️ We’ve been busy cutting out shapes and creating our very own squirrel masks! We have also loved using paint and various materials to create our own autumnal leaves. I think rolling paint conkers was a definite hit! 🥰

In Nursery, we love giving our children opportunities to make their own choices and develop their independence. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be exploring different choices for our toast and sandwiches! 🥪
Today, the children enjoyed making toast and choosing their own toppings. We encouraged them to verbalise their choices and, where possible, explain why they had chosen them. We had lots of lovely conversations and some very definite opinions! 😋
The children had a choice of butter, different jams and, as a special treat, a nut-free chocolate spread. They then had the opportunity to practise spreading their own toast, with adult support when needed.
We also continued to build on our positional language learning from previous weeks. As the children chose and spread their toppings, we encouraged them to talk about where things were, using words such as on, underneath, beside, next to, in front of and behind. It was lovely to see the children beginning to use this language naturally as they talked about their toast and sandwiches.
A big focus throughout the experience was making choices. The children were encouraged to decide which topping they wanted, how much they wanted and how they wanted to spread it. These simple opportunities help children to develop confidence in making decisions and expressing their own preferences. ❤️
These everyday experiences are fantastic for developing Independence and confidence� Communication, language and positional vocabulary�. Decision-making and expressing preferences�. Understanding and using positional language� Fine motor skills and coordination�🍽️ Practical life skills
The children absolutely loved making their own toast today and were so proud of their creations! It was wonderful to see them making their own choices, trying things independently and talking about what they had done. 🥰
We can’t wait to see what choices they make over the coming weeks! ✨

This week in Nursery, we have been exploring how to make sets and groups using a variety of toys and resources, both indoors and outdoors! 🌟
The children have been busy sorting, collecting and grouping objects in different ways, developing their mathematical thinking and understanding of early number concepts through play.
🏡 This week's homework: We would love you to continue the learning at home! Can your child make sets and groups using their toys, such as cars, bricks, animals or anything else they can find? Can they explain how they have grouped them?
Have fun exploring, sorting and counting together! We can't wait to hear about your learning at home. 💛
