Nursery

We had such a great time at our Beach Party. We had fun in the water and then enjoyed a picnic with ice-creams afterwards.

When the sun returned we decided to have a beach shop outside.

We are coming towards the end of term and lots of the children are getting excited about going on holiday. We have had great fun packing up suitcases and pretending to go on holiday.

We have been playing in our airport. We had to scan our cases and write boarding cards. We also made our own passports. We enjoyed refreshments in our airport café!

We were so excited when we arrived at nursery today as the White Post Farm Roadshow had arrived! Sage the donkey was a favourite. He was thoroughly spoilt and had lots of apples. We had a fantastic day handling and learning about the animals. Some of us were even brave enough to give the lambs and kids their bottles of milk.

The animals stayed with us all day and we were able to find out lots of interesting facts about the animals.

We had some teeny tiny caterpillars in nursery and we have watched them grow and make cocoons. This week they have changed into butterflies so we have let them fly into our garden. They seemed to like our herb garden.

We have been watching the chicks grow. We helped to look after them by feeding them and cleaning them out every day. They grew really quickly!

We had great fun making ladybird biscuits.

Jacob brought in his Giant African Snails and their babies. We also found some snails on our bug hunt. We watched them slither across the paper.

Some of us made a wormery.

Outside we pretended to be mini-beasts- fluttering, flying, creeping, slithering and crawling

We have planted some beans in our boxes.

Watch out when you come into nursery as there is an enormous spider lurking around. Have a look at some of our amazing bugs on our display.

We have made some amazing bugs with playdough and used different things in the construction area to make houses for bugs.

We have planted sunflower seeds in our garden. Each group planted some seeds. Ladybirds have so far grown the tallest.

We had great fun going on a bug hunt around the school grounds.

We began our topic Out and About in Summer by investigating the colour yellow.

We had a great surprise to begin the new term- a new fish tank.

We began the week by exploring our school grounds and noticing the signs of springtime.

We let the cars run down the guttering tracks and then worked out how we could make them go faster.

We went outside on a rainy day and felt the raindrops on our hands

We all enjoyed Mr Dunn reading stories to us aswell.

Today we shared the story Mr Wolf's Pancakes. We made some pancakes, they were yummy!!

When we returned to nursery after half term there was a safari jeep in nursery. We have had great fun using our explorer packs and spotting different animals.

This term we have been taking part in weekly challenges. Sometimes we find the activities a bit tricky but we keep on trying! We have been learning a song in the hall with Mrs Wright " Have a go, Have a go because you never know" and the children have begun to encourage each other by singing it at the challenge table.

We all celebrated Chinese New Year. We retold the Chinese New Year story and some of us made lanterns and had a go at Chinese writing. We tasted Chinese food and did some dragon dancing.

We all had a great day at our parents open session when we had a record number of parents who came in to share stories with us

As a school we have been talking to the children about growth mindset. In the nursery we have been emphasising " I cant do it yet....." and having a try. We have shared stories about animals keeping on trying. A snake wanted to get across the river and had a difficult job to build a bridge but he eventually did it. We used our outside bricks to build bridges.

Happy New Year and welcome back! A big welcome to all our new starters who are settling in well and are learning our Rainbow rules and expectations. Our current children have been very good at helping them to settle. Please read our Nursery Newsletter and feel free to speak to a member of staff if you have any questions.

We have enjoyed lots of imaginative play

Some of us had a go at making our own animals using junk materials.

During our snake week we were lucky to see some real live snakes. Some of us were even brave enough to touch them. Jackson's mummy told us lots of interesting facts about snakes and how she looks after them at home.

We began this term by thinking about jungles. What might a jungle look like? Would it be hot or cold? What animals might live there?

The children were very excited to come into nursery one morning and find a box with a label that said " Please look after me". We all had a go at guessing what might be inside.

The next day we found a banana skin next to the box. That gave us a big clue!

The next day there was great excitement as we arrived to find the box was open but there was nothing inside. We hunted everywhere and eventually found.......
