Nursery

Our Nursery children enjoyed a ‘move up day’ into Reception. We read some stories, made pirate hats and drew self portraits and explored the provision. We had lots of fun getting to know Mrs Palmer, Mrs Bear and Mrs Leslie. 
 

This week in Nursery our older children have been reading the story ‘The Suitcase’. 

In the story an animal is travelling with his suitcase, and he shares with the others what he has in it. 

The children were keen to share what they thought he would have with him and were shocked when he…

We have had lots of fun so far this week using the multi link cubes to make an AB repeating pattern.
At first some of the cubes were a bit tricky to click together but we got the hang of it in the end. 

What a super morning we have had for Sports Day. The children waited their turn very patiently before having a go at all the races.

The children, ran, jumped, ran backwards, went through hoops and had a go at the egg and spoon race! 

Well done everyone! 

Our younger Nursery children loved…

This week our older Nursery children have been using the Construction blocks to help them with their Maths work. They counted and identified numbers 1-5. For each number they then built a tower using that number of blocks to make it. Some children when they had added too many blocks or not enough…

Our Nursery 1 children have been practising lots of letter formation this week! 
We have practised writing the letter ‘m’ using the phonics phrase ‘maisie mountain mountain’ and we have also practised writing the letter ‘a’, using the phonics phrase ‘around the apple, down the leaf’.

This week in Nursery we have started our new topic ‘From Another Planet’. The children have loved playing in the space station and looking at different planets in our messy tray learning about space.
Then the children created their own planets and rockets.

At the start of the half term we planted some seeds. We learnt all about what a seed needs to grow. We put this into practice and we were very pleased to say that some of our seeds have grown and were taken home today! 
 

Our Reception and Nursery 1 children took part in our annual Easter Bonnet parade by singing some Easter songs and parading in our Easter hats, that had been made at home. Parents and carers came to watch us too. 
 

This week we have been inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian. We had a go at decorating some Easter eggs using the colours and patterns that he used too! We loved using lots of different tools to paint with!
