What a wonderful afternoon we had full of festive crafts with our families.

We are very much in the festive spirit now and preparations are coming along nicely for our Christmas stay and play. Today we have been making mince pies for our families to enjoy during thier visit.

We made the most of the snow today as we explored painting in the snow using powder paints. The children explored colour mixing and developed fine motor control as they painted a range of shapes.

The children have been very excited to welcome our new little friends to EYFS this week. We have talked a lot about how to care for them and help them to grow.

The children were very excited to meet our mystery reader today and listened wonderfully to Bettyrose’s favourite story. Thank you very much for coming in Kirsty.

What a wonderful time we had visiting Moortown Library last week. It was a joy to have so many parents join us on our community trip. The children loved listening to stories, choosing their own books to read and even bringing a few books back to school to read at Nursery. Thank you to Madeleine Wood for leading the session.

We were so very proud of our little people this week as they created and lay their poppy in the hall for our remembrance assembly.

This week, the children have had lots of fun experiencing and celebrating Diwali. We have made Diya lamps, Rangoli patterns using a range of materials and even had a go at creating Mendhi patterns on cutout paper hands.

The children have been very excited to share their recent experiences of Bonfire Night and shared their excitement when watching the fireworks. Today we enjoyed using our whole body to create large firework shapes using streamers, scarves, ribbons and finger lights. We then had a go at making these marks using crayon and pastel on black paper.

Today we enjoyed a very wet Autumn walk to look for signs of Autumn around our grounds.
