Autumn 1
Communication and Language Development –Settling into a new nursery class can be scary but as our confidence grows we begin to find our favourite areas and talk about our likes and dislikes. We looked at pictures of the Nursery learning environment and talked about activities or areas that they like to visit and activities that they like to do
Personal, Social and Emotional Development – To encourage sharing and building friendships, we have been playing turn taking game. This helps us to understand that other children might want to play the same game or use the same resources. It is important to be friendly and share with others.
Physical Development – With our Edstart coach we have been learning to travel with confidence and skill around, under, over and through balancing and climbing equipment; stands on one foot momentarily when shown.
Mathematics - Explore the composition of numbers to five and compare numbers. .
Literacy - Identify and suggest rhymes and join in with rhyme, rhythm and alliteration activities. We played phonics with a friend to help clap out syllables in words and listen carefully for rhyming words.

Exploring Autumn
This project teaches children about the natural changes that happen during the season of autumn, including how the weather changes, why trees lose their leaves and how wild animals prepare for winter.
Autumn Adventures
We had great fun exploring our outdoor environment searching for signs of autumn. The children collected leaves, conkers, acorns and much more from our woodland and outdoor areas. These resources were used in a variety of different ways including creating artwork, in discussion describing the texture and appearance and also in mathematics for sorting and counting.
