Nursery

Nursery went to forest school for the first time today! We spoke about the class rules and how to keep ourselves safe in the area. We then explored the wooded area and collected different size twigs which we put in order from shortest to longest.
“This stick is the longest one!”
“We might fall in the pond if we go to close!”
“There is a fire in the middle of the circle!”
“I have found a short stick!”
“The wood is very dark!”

After learning about Autumn, Nursery spoke about what animals may hibernate in the Winter time. We discussed what natural resources we could use to create an animal home and collected them as a group.
“Hibernation means sleeping!”
“The hedgehog needs a pillow!”
“The leaves make it soft for the animals!”
“The bird’s nest is small and cosy!”
“The leaves change colour in Autumn!”

Nursery shared the story ‘God Knows My Name’ which explains how God loves everybody in the whole world. We then spoke about the symbols of God and what they represent. Nursery then collected a range of natural materials and made three symbols that reminded them of God (cross, prayer table and a heart).
“God is in our hearts!”
“We have used leaves to make the heart shape!”
“The twigs can be used to make the sign of the cross!”
“The prayer table is a rectangle shape!”
“God looks after us and everybody!”

Nursery went to forest school and created some bark rubbings! We spoke about the different patterns we could make and the colours we would use. We also used some leaves to see what patterns we could make.
“Bark is on the tree!”
“We can use the logs to make a pattern!”
“I have used pink to make my pattern!”
“I have used yellow and green on my pattern!”
“Look at my leaf rubbing!”
