What have we been learning?

Spring 2 2026

Nursery have enjoyed their '…and beyond' topic, exploring what we might find beyond our own planet.

• The children learnt about the different planets
• They made their own 2D shape rockets to go off exploring in
• They created colourful planets by using marbles to mix the paint
• The children enjoyed a space-themed day where they explored the universe, made space sensory bottles and had a special treat of space ice cream, which was rather yummy!

In Maths, we have moved onto numbers 4 and 5:

• Recognising different quantities and the composition of these numbers
• Learning the numerals that represent them
• Looking at 2D shapes that have 4 and 5 sides
• Naming shapes and recognising them from a group

The children enjoyed their Number Day raising money for the NSPCC. Together they built number rockets that could only blast off into space once they were finished.
