The Nursery School

This week we really enjoyed learning about construction. We mixed our own flour and water paste to glue blocks together, constructed different types of homes from around the world and made our own models from coloured blocks. We also went on a Summer Colour Hunt at Forest School. Have a lovely weekend!

To our term-time families, happy half-term! We look forward to seeing some of our families on Tuesday for holiday club and everyone else on 1st June, when we start our last half-term of the year ☀️

This week we’ve experimented with making patterns on a snail outline, sewn our own accessories and practised using one handed tools at forest school to make a wind chime. Have a lovely weekend!

We continued to follow the children’s interest of minibeasts this week. The children painted ladybirds, made bees from playdough, weaved yellow wool around pine cones to make a model of a bee and sounded out phonics from CVC words relating to minibeasts. Have a lovely weekend! 🐞

This week we enjoyed pond dipping and hunting for minibeasts at forest school. We’ve also been looking after our plants, herbs and vegetables in the garden and observing them grow. We used some of the herbs in the mud kitchen to cut up and use in our recipes. As well as this, the children were excited to use their gross motor skills to control mops and brooms in the garden. Have a lovely bank holiday weekend everyone!

We have really enjoyed being in the sunshine this week. We learnt about ways to protect our planet on Earth day, enjoyed exploring tools at forest school and practised our fine motor skills. Have a lovely sunny weekend everyone ☀️

This week we’ve enjoyed learning about the life cycle of a butterfly at forest school, taking photos on our Spring walks which we then used to inspire our art, and building mosques in the construction area whilst learning about Ramadan. We hope you all have a lovely weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to all our wonderful Mum’s. See you next week 🌷

This week we have enjoyed celebrating World Book Day, where the children made their own books and at forest school we built houses for the Three Little Pigs. We also explored colour and learnt about Holi. Have a lovely weekend.

This week we’ve learnt about Lunar New Year. We have also been looking for the first signs of Spring at Forest School and cooking on the campfire. Have a lovely weekend!

This week we enjoyed making our own bubble wands, visited the local library and made beautiful pictures using paint and cotton buds. Have a lovely weekend!
