Our Nursery 1 children, Class of 2024! 

We are beyond proud of all your hard work this year! You have all grown so much and we have seen your little personalities shine! 

We wish you all the luck as you move up to Reception in September!

Our Nursery 1 children loved their trip on ‘The Ratty’ today!
We loved singing songs on the bus ride to The Ratty. We watched out the train windows for different animals on the way. Once there, we enjoyed a picnic lunch before playing on the play park and returning on the train.

Some of our younger Nursery children enjoyed a visit to the book bus yesterday afternoon. 
They listened to a lovely story before choosing some books to bring back to Nursery and share with everyone.

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. 
 

We had a visit from ‘Bees in the trees’ for Reception and Nursery. The beekeeper taught us all about drone bees, worker bees and the queen bee. The children learnt all about larva and pupa and how the eggs develop. We then looked at what bees eat and the children got close up view of the bees.

Reception and Nursery took part in Sports Day with luckily no rain! They all took part in a running, jumping, backwards, climbing through hoops and egg and spoon race. They were all dressed in their team colours of green, blue, red or yellow. Everyone had a great time and showed great team spirit.…

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!

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…

This week our older Nursery children have been using the water tray in Maths to learn about full and empty. 
We also talked about when a container is light or heavy. Lots of children were able to fill a container until it was full and tell us it was heavy. We saw some excellent team work form the…
