This week, we have taken part in the Big Garden Bird Watch. Today we identified and sorted birds from other animals, listened to bird sounds through story then went outside the create our own bird feeder and hunt for birds. The children were thrilled by this and were very excited when they spotted some swifts soaring through the sky in the wind. Can the children recall any of the birds names that they learnt today at home. Maybe you could get outside this weekend to see if you can spot any magpies, pigeons, robins, blackbirds or blue tits?

This week as the cold weather has loomed over us, the children have become fascinated by ice. With this mind we decided to create our own ice decorations in the messy kitchen. Look how how beautifully they turned out.

Our Library Visit
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.
