Pirate Day! Ahoy there me hearties! We have had lots of fun on our pirate day. We went on an adventure to sail the seven seas in our ships, hunting for treasure. We climbed the rigging and swabbed the decks, merrily singing our sea shanties together. We enjoyed a pirate feast and we even had to walk the plank! Arrgh!

We have been busy growing vegetables and herbs in our nursery garden. Today, we harvested some onions, garlic, potatoes and herbs (mint, rosemary and thyme). The children explored the smell of the herbs. Then we cooked some potatoes and ate them at snack time, they were very yummy!

Sports Day 2023! Thank you to all the parents who came to watch our sports day. We were very lucky with the weather and the children had lots of fun.

Den day! Thank you to all the wonderful Dad's, Uncle's and Grandad's who came to build dens with us. We had lots of fun and the dens were amazing!

People who help us - We have been thinking about all the different people who help us. The children have role played lots of different professions, they have been learning how to look after their teeth, how to stay healthy and keep themselves safe.

Goodbye Butterflies!

Science Week. This week we have been taking part in lots of science based activities. The children have been fascinated with watching changes in materials as they happen, predicting and exploring different properties and forces.

Hello Dragonfly! We were very lucky to have a beautiful Dragonfly come to visit our Nursery garden.

Numbers Day! - We were visited by the reception classes and teachers for numbers day. This formed part of the transition process for children who are starting school in september. We had a great time making new friends! The children explored numerals, counting, money, colours, shapes and measuring in weight, length and different sizes.

Coronation Week! We have had a lovely week learning about the coronation of King Charles III. We ended the week with a tea party to celebrate.

Our Nursery Pets. We have been very lucky to be gifted a tank and three fish by one of our families. The children have loved them being here. This week we have also had a special delivery of some caterpillars - we look forward to them growing and changing and hopefully releasing them when they have changed to butterflies.

Multicultural week. We looked and talked about the places our families have travelled and located from. We used the globe to find them. On wednesday we came to school wearing clothes from represented our heritage and tasted food from around the world at snack time. We have looked at stories this week that are from different places around the world.

Whatever Next Week! The children listened to the story of Baby Bear going to the moon. We thought about being in space and landing on the moon

Easter Week - We have been thinking about Jesus at this time of year. Children have listened and considered carefully the story of Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We ended the week with a fun easter egg hunt around the nursery.

Lenten Walk for CAFOD. All of the children walked two laps of the school field to raise funds for CAFOD. For some children it seemed a long way!

Easter Bonnet Competition. Thank you to all the children who entered the easter bonnet competition. Your creations were fantastic! We paraded around the school and everyone commented how great they were. The ladies from the office judged the bonnets away from the children and therefore were anonymous. The overall winner was Isla. Well done Isla!
