Core book
We have lots of favourite stories at Nursery. When introducing a new book, we look carefully at the key features. The front cover gives us lots of information about the book including the title, author and the picture is often a clue about what the story might be about. For Two weeks we focus on a 'core book'. By doing this it helps us to really understand the story and learn lots about the characters.
After reading the book it enables us to join in with lots of fun activities based around the story. This helps us to learn in all areas of our curriculum.
BANG, POP, WHIZZ, BOOM, WHOOSH!
We have enjoyed talking lots about bonfire night, we had a go at creating our own firework patterns using glitter and crayons. We even had a go at moving around like a fire work ...
We're going on a bear hunt ...
We're going on a bear hunt, we're going to catch a BIG one, we're not scared!
We have really enjoyed sharing this story. This story teaches us about important lessons and about facing your fears and pushing through obstacles. We have enjoyed acting out the story and going on our own bear hunt as well as lots of other bear activities ...

Owl babies by Martin Waddell ...
This is a lovely tale about three baby owls Sarah, Percy and Bill who woke up one night to find that their mum was missing!
Leaving them to worry about and wonder about her return. This story is great for helping us to understand and reassure us when we are faced with our own fears of separation. We have enjoyed joining in with lots of owl activities ...
