Our Faces

 In nursery, our topic this term is 'Ourselves'. 

As part of our learning, children made a self portrait.

Children looked at themselves in a mirror and spoke about what they could see. 

They talked about the colour of their hair, the colour of their eyes, and verbally labelled the parts of their face.

Children have been learning vocabulary that helps them to describe themselves and other people.

Children are learning to understand and celebrate what makes them unique.

Eid Mubarak

Over the last month the children have been learning about Ramadan.

They have learnt how fasting is very important to Muslims.
As Ramadan came to a close, the children learnt how Muslim families celebrate
 the end of Ramadan with Eid.

We learnt that families get together to celebrate Eid with prayers, gifts, charity and sharing meals.

Some of our families shared food from their Eid preparations and the children shared the meal together. This was a great learning opportunity for children
to socialise, talk and understand the importance of Eid.

We had a visit from one of our parents, who talked to the children about Eid.

 
The children also had the opportunity to design their own Mehndi patterns.

After Eid, some of the children talked to the class about their own celebrations with their family.

 

It's beginning to look like Christmas

 At John Bramston, we love learning about different celebrations throughout the year.

Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning about Christmas,
and how people celebrate this occasion.

The children learnt about Christingles and had the opportunity to create one of their own.

The children were amazing in their Nativity performances.
It was lovely to see the confidence in the children as they sang their songs.
I'm sure you will agree they looked fabulous in their costumes.

Well done to Reception.
