Nursery A Dress Up Day
To raise money for Nugent’s Good Shepherd Appeal we held a dress up day in nursery. We loved pretending to be our different characters. Thank you to all our families for your support.

Painting in Different Ways in Nursery A
This term in nursery we have been exploring painting in different ways and different context. Last week we painted outside on tinfoil and took part in finger paining. This week the children painted to different pieces of music and they absolutely loved it.

‘X’ Marks the Spot!
Our pirate adventure in nursery began on Monday afternoon when we went on a treasure hunt outside and followed clues to find hidden treasure. We used a treasure map of our outdoor area and listened to clues using positional and directional language and following a route. On our journey we found…
Magic Moments!
Not content with simply building a wall for Humpty Dumpty, two of our creative learners in nursery decided to work together to make a bed for him, using some blocks as a blanket to keep him warm. Look at those smiles!
