William Morris

This week the children have been learning about our whole school artist, William Morris. We looked at some of his prints and the children described what they could see. There were a lot of flowers and leaves.

We looked at the 'Larkspur' print and the children used potatoes, cotton buds and leaves to print their own pictures based on this pattern. The children showed great concentration.



The children have also been showing us how well they are doing in their Maths. They are getting much better at describing shapes now and we have even started to look at some 3D shapes. The children have talked about a cylinder and cone. 

This week we continued to look at stories set under the sea as we had been reading the Rainbow Fish. They really enjoyed the story of Barry the Fish with Fingers. 

The school role play has been very popular. The children have been pretending to be the different teachers in Nursery which had been very interesting. They've been following the timetable and doing snack, phonics and story time.

Next week is Book Week and we will be focusing on the story 'The Gingerbread Man'. The children can bring in their favourite stories to share. 

Our sound of the week is 'e'.

  1. I like reading the book Barry the fish with fingers. I made a rainbow fish at school. My favourite things to do at nursery is playing in the sandpit and on the bikes.
