Welcome to Southey Nursery!

Class Teacher: Miss Hughes 

At Southey Green, we promise to provide our children with 6 unique experiences in each year group. We call these ‘Southey’s Super Six’. These tasks give our children something to look forward to each year and in places, provide an opportunity that the children may not have previously had.

Autumn 

We have had a lovely start to the new year. The children have enjoyed learning about owls and the autumn. We have created our own owls in different formats. We learnt that owls can make different noises not just ‘twit twoo’. We had fun being artists, doing some leaf rubbings and discovered we had to use the crayons differently to make the leaf appear. We have had fun dancing using 'Danny Go' and copying the moves he makes and have enjoyed exploring the shapes to make our own owl homes.  

Road Safety

We have learnt all about road safety this week, we discovered that we need to hold an adults hand, press the button and wait for the green man. When we cross the road we must walk too. We did great listening and all got to take part in crossing the road

We have been very busy in nursery this term. We completed one of our Southey Super Six by creating felt owls by sewing. We took great care to go in and out without getting all in a muddle. We learnt all about the Gruffalo and loved creating our own paintings to represent the Gruffalo talking about the features of the creature as we painted. The children were very careful to stay in the lines and add the details in the appropriate spot. We learnt a new skill by learning how to use the vegetable peeler to peel our apples and the special child friendly cutter to cut up our apple to create an apple crumble.  

We had two wonderful visitors: Little City and the Owls. We loved learning all about the different occupations with Little City and were astounded by the owls and how we even were allowed to hold them.  

We're all having a great time learning in Nursery this term. We've already welcomed new friends (and teachers!), had fun at Southey library, enjoyed 'Grandparent's Day' and celebrated World Book Day together. We've learnt lots of new skills, explored the change in weather. Later this term we will be baking with our families in the school cooking room and we can't wait to taste our delicious treats!
