Autumn News
This term has been full of curiosity, creativity and celebration in Nursery. The children explored pumpkins in all sorts of wonderful ways — from investigating their textures and seeds to creating bright, expressive pumpkin art. They listened to inspiring Black history stories, and asking questions of our own head teacher, Mrs Esua. We also celebrated Diwali, discovering how families welcome light, colour and togetherness during the festival. As part of our reflections on remembrance, the children worked thoughtfully to create a beautiful poppy wreath.
Our adventures took us outdoors too, with a visit to the forest. The children also explored animals from around the world and the environments in which they live. These experiences linked beautifully to our conversations about how we can look after our planet and make caring choices every day.
As the term came to a close, we shared the Christmas story together — and enjoyed a very special visit from Father Christmas, which brought plenty of smiles and excitement.
It’s been a joyful, busy term full of learning, wonder and new experiences.
What a lovely roundup of the autumn term! The pumpkin art, the forest visit and the poppy wreath all sound wonderful — and such a lovely mix of celebrations, from Diwali to the Christmas story. I read this with my little one and used a Wheel names spinner to pick which activity to try at home first. Such a joyful, busy term — thanks for sharing!
