This week the children have been noticing changes to our chicken coop. They were very interested in the new green Egloo and feeding hopper as they eagerly helped to collect eggs, and feed the chickens. Today they noticed Mr Magnal building the coop and had lots of questions about all of the tools he was using.

Huge thanks to all of our families who joined us for the Easter stay and play session this week. We had lots of fun getting crafty and egg hunting.

The children were very excited to meet CC today who came in to show us some of her Bollywood dance moves. They loved trying the different movements and putting them together to create a dance. Well done everyone.

Today the sun came out and so did the bubble mixture. The children enjoyed using different shaped wands to make the biggest bubbles they could.

Nursery have enjoyed getting outdoor hunting for signs of Spring this week.

Thank you to all of the families who attended our reading cafe this afternoon. It was wonderful to welcome you and share this time with you.

 

 

What a fabulous day we all had today when Ian’s Mobile Farm joined us in school. It was very exciting and the children were thrilled to be able to touch, brush and play with all of the animals, which included; alpacas, ducks, donkeys and goats. Our favourite part most definitely had to be playing fetch with Meg the dog and her ball.

 

 

 

 

 

Today the children spent a long time building a train in our outdoor area, role playing and making tickets. We used this as a stimulus to talk about journeys and our local area. The children decided where they would like to visit on the train and drew maps.

Today we were intrigued by the Primrose flowers kindly donated by Mrs Bah and we quickly got busy preparing the garden and planters in our outdoor area. What a great job everyone!

Following our heavy rainfall this week, the children became fascinated in all things worms. We began by digging for worms, hunting for them in our large mud pit. The children found many, which they decided to bring indoors to share with their friends. This led to some fabulous discussions about where worms live, what they eat and discussions around length, supporting the children to accurately describe length using the words longer and shorter, longest and shortest. Some of our youngest children simply enjoyed exploring how to move like worm, developing their vestibular senses.
