The Yellow Group have been very busy investigating measure this week. This interest was sparked when they were outside with Mrs Coubrough on Monday and the children noticed that their shadows were changing size when they were moving. They explored how they could make their shadows taller and smaller. The children then went on to find different sized worms in the Nursery Garden. They used the metre sticks to measure lots of different things in the playground and trundle wheels to measure the distance between two places. They even measured themselves and put themselves in order from tallest to smallest!

Nursery Yellow Group – 2D Space Rockets
The children have continued to show an interest in the sky at night and space this week. We discussed how astronauts get into space and this led us to create ‘Space Rocket’ pictures using sticky 2D shapes. This allowed the children to become more familiar with common 2D shape names such as rectangle, square and triangle, as well as some more tricky ones, such as semi-circle, pentagon and hexagon!
Happy Halloween from the Yellow Group!
We have been very busy celebrating Halloween this week. When we were outside we collected sticks to create our own magic wands. We read the story ‘Pumpkin Soup’ and carved our own pumpkin. The children helped to scoop out all the seeds and then went on to pretend to make their very own pumpkin soup, yum! The children are really enjoying dressing up today and are very much looking forward to their special Halloween snacks later.
Exploring Halloween in the Yellow Group
The Yellow Group are continuing to show great interest in Halloween. We decided to explore some Halloween stories and the children picked ‘Room On The Broom’. After reading the story, the children wanted to create their own ‘Room On The Broom’ pictures. There has been lots of discussion about Pumpkins so we did some Pumpkin arts and crafts and we will carve our very own Pumpkin next week!
