Oakbridge Nursery news

We’ve had another busy and exciting few weeks in Nursery! It has been wonderful to see the children becoming increasingly confident and independent, developing friendships and becoming familiar with our Nursery routines.

Stories & Language: We have loved sharing stories including Owl Babies and You Choose – Fairy Tales. The children have been joining in with stories, learning new vocabulary and using their imaginations through small-world play, role play, mark-making and creative activities.

Maths: We have been developing our early maths skills through lots of practical play. The children have been counting, sorting and comparing, as well as exploring mathematical language such as big, small, more and less. We encourage the children to notice maths everywhere in their play!

Our Feelings: We have also been exploring feelings and emotions through The Colour Monster. The children have enjoyed thinking about the different colours and the feelings they represent, and talking about what might help us when we experience big feelings.

Our days continue to be filled with singing, nursery rhymes, mark-making, creative and messy play, stories and lots of outdoor exploration. We are especially proud of how the children’s confidence, communication and independence are growing.

Ask your child…

Can you remember what happened in Owl Babies?
Which Colour Monster matches how you are feeling today?
Can you find something big and something small at home?
Can you spot any numbers while you are out and about?

Thank you for your continued support — we are very proud of everything the children are achieving!
