🍂 Autumn fun in Nursery 🍂

13th Nov 2025

The Nursery children have been learning about the changes autumn brings to our environment. We have also been focusing on our fine motor skills - the little muscles in our hands that make our fingers strong.

 

We have been …

🍁 drawing and painting leaves and pinecones from observation with watercolours and graphite sticks.

🍁 making leaf men

🍁 counting leaves

🍁 drawing on a larger scale outside using conkers and leaves to inspire our drawings

🍁 moving conkers and pinecones with tongs

🍁 exploring how we can make conkers move and roll

🍁 exploring light, colour and shadows with the projector 

🍁 sorting autumn resources

🍁 mark making in the sand

🍁 building with loose parts - we were very interested in making ice cream shops and parks this week

🍁 pouring with the water indoors and outdoors

🍁 collaborating with our friends and having lots of fun.
