Our learning!
At Henshaw Nursery, we cater for all the ways in which children learn. We focus on the children's interests and promote learning through how practitioners interact and question the children. We currently follow the EYFS to assess and plan activities. We have also recently introduced the Cornerstones Curriculum. Feel free to click on 'Learn More' to find out about this in more detail.
Although we follow a topic each half term from the Cornerstones Curriculum, we try to promote and develop children's learning through their own interest and do this by in the moment planning where possible.

Do cows drink milk?
One of the topics 'Do cows drink milk?', the children gained some lovely first hand experiences as we were lucky to have a visit from a farmer and his tractor, we then went on a farm visit and had great fun meeting the animals and trying out the machinery!

Did Dragons Exist? This topic was focused on in the first term after Christmas. It has enabled the children to explore all things fairy tale, castles and of course dragons and other mythical creatures! We have seen so many fabulous imaginations developing throughout this topic. |

How many colour's are in a rainbow?
The second topic of the new year has been 'how many colours are in a rainbow?'. The children have explored all things colour during this half term.
They have investigated colour change in various ways. They have made a wide range of different paintings and drawings looking into artists like, Jackson Pollock. The children have looked at patterns and shapes, colour recognition plus sorting and ordering objects and colours. And of course we have learnt lots about rainbows and other weather. We have provided the children with lots of messy play opportunities too.
During this topic we have observed children become so much more independent in their creative play and learning. They have shown curiosity and so much enthusiasm towards all activities and child led play.
