The Nursery class has had a great start to the New Year, we have had several new children join our class and all the children have settled really well. Our topic for the half term is Space and we have enjoyed some great stories such as, ‘Whatever Next’, ‘There’s an Alien in your book’ and ‘Goodnight Spaceman’. The children have been exploring this topic through some exciting activities including a small world moon scape, creating paper plate Aliens, painting rockets and paper mache planets. We have had some great PE sessions pretending to be rockets and trying to get the Alien back into space.

In maths we have been looking at the concept of weight. We have compared lots of different objects to see if they are heavier or lighter. We used some balance scales and also became human scales.
