Learning the Sign of the Cross
We have spent time learning the sign of the cross prayer in nursery as part of our prayers and learning in RE. The children have also been very busy learning their morning, lunchtime and home time prayers both in school and at home.
Scratch Soundtrack
Today the children built on their skills using Scratch. We started by discussing different genres and the type of music associated with them. We then created our own soundtracks, adjusting the tempo and the notes used.
Glockenspiel Compositions
This afternoon, the children continued their music topic on composition inspired by nature. Today we created our own melodies inspired by Dark and stormy clouds.
Duplo
The children are learning to share their toys and resources with lots of other children. They are learning how to resolve conflicts when things do not go their way or they have to wait to use a toy. We are very proud of how well they are doing.

Number fun
We have been learning lots of different counting songs in Reception today using numbers from 1-10.
Settling into Nursery A
The children in Nursery A have had a very busy time settling in, discovering and exploring our nursery environment. The children were very excited by the opening of our new ‘Autumn Outdoor Cafe’ today!
Year 2: Art & Design
The children used a range of media to express their emotions to different pieces of classical music, through mark- making.
