Nursery

The children have shown a real interest in animals since reading 'Silly Doggy' by Adam Stower so we set up a Vet Station with bays and equipment to help look after our sick and poorly pets. The children are having lots of back and forth conversations describing what has happened to their pet and…

Nursery had an amazing day at Martin Mere in almost perfect weather conditions, we spotted a variety of birds, went for a ‘Wild Walk’, explored the play areas and took part in a pond dipping workshop.  It was exciting to see all the new experiences and learning taking place. There were lots of…

The children in nursery are developing and strengthening their fine motor skills to create minibeasts using clay. They are rolling, pinching, and poking to make different shapes and patterns.

We had a fun day with our crazy clothes and hair day today.  Check out our craziness!

This week the children have enjoyed taking part in Easter activities. They have decorated Easter biscuits, painted eggs and been on an Easter hunt.

This week is British Science Week and we are noticing how science is all around us. We have been looking at animals and discussing how they have similarities and differences. The children have enjoyed playing a matching game - finding the halves of the animal faces and identifying each animal. We…
