Through play, our children explore and develop learning experiences, which help them make sense of the world around them. They have the opportunity to think creatively alongside others as well as on their own. They communicate with others as they investigate and solve problems. We deliver opportunities for exploration of all 7 areas of learning through purposeful play, with a balance of adult-led, adult-initiated and child-initiated activities. This is supported by offering a range of real life experiences through educational visits and visitors in school.

In nursery we have been learning about the celebration Halloween. We made monsters out of playdough, used our senses to explore pumpkins and made our own spells. We also enjoyed looking for shadows in our outdoor area. We talked about how and why not everyone celebrates Halloween.
In nursery we have been learning about Bonfire Night. We watched a video about what happens on Bonfire Night. In provision we created our own Bonfire and represented fireworks in a range of different ways.
In the nursery children have been talking about keeping their teeth healthy. The nursery children know that we need to brush our teeth twice a day. They know that we need a toothbrush and toothpaste to keep our teeth clean. They sang a rhyme to help them to remember how to brush their teeth.
