Loughborough Nursery

Lots of fun role-playing this week with our Pathfinders!🛒

Our Pathfinders have created a supermarket role-play area for their maths book of the month, 'Handa's Surprise'! This role-play shop allows the children to explore quantities, for example, by counting how many bananas or oranges they may have.🍌🍎🍊

They then had the opportunity to sort and organise the fruit and veg into different categories such as colour and size. The price tags on each item also helped the children become more familiar with number recognition and allow them to recite numbers in sequence!⭐

Huge congratulations go to staff member, Cayla, who has recently achieved a distinction for her Level 3 Early Years Educator apprenticeship 🥳

Everyone at Loughborough Nursery is incredibly proud and we can't wait to continue to see Cayla flourish in her work.

Everyone at Loughborough Nursery wishes Deputy Nursery Manager, Abbie, the very best for her maternity leave 💖

We've enjoyed a fantastic celebration and sent her off with lots of lovely gifts for this special time.

Meet our Superhero Pioneers!⭐

This week, the children have been rescuing animals in the garden, dressing as their favourite superheroes, painting superhero characters, and collecting objects from Spider-Man's tray!

This week our Investigators had an exciting trip to Queens Park and Charnwood museum!⭐🌷

Enjoying time in the lovely summer sun, they were busy exploring the beautiful gardens and museum, which features a wide range of exhibits reflecting the history, geology, archaeology and industries of the local area!🔎

Congratulations to our new little graduates!🎓

Yesterday was our children's Nursery Graduation! For the oldest children at the Nursery, Graduation marks an incredible milestone as they prepare for life at big school. During their time here, they've grown in confidence, developed key social skills and built up a sense of emotional resilience that will help them to thrive as they continue their educational journey.

We wish them all the best for their next big steps into the world!

It's coming home! ⚽Our children have been getting into the World Cup spirit this week by...

🎨Painting world flags for each team
🌍Using blue and green playdough to represent the world and sticking flags in each country
⚽Of course, a game of football where the children took turns scoring a goal!

Can England bring it home? Our children certainly think so!

Last week our little Developers went on a visit to Loughborough Museum and spent some time enjoying the lovely sunshine! They had a fantastic time letting their curiosity run wild!🌷

📚✨ Storytime Magic at the Grammar School Library! ✨📚

Children from our Pioneers Room and Kindergarten pupils from Fairfield enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Grammar School Library, where they were warmly welcomed by the Year 8 boys.

The children listened to a fantastic selection of stories, including The Lion Inside, Stick Man, Tiddler, and Tyrannosaurus Drip. Reading in small groups, the Year 8 boys did a brilliant job bringing the stories to life, keeping our young listeners thoroughly engaged from start to finish.

It was a joy to see the children listening so attentively and sharing such a special morning together. A huge thank you to Mrs Briers, Mrs Whitehead, and the Year 8 boys for their warm hospitality and for creating such a memorable experience.

📖💙 Inspiring a love of reading
