The School received a special seasonal visit this morning, as the Easter Bunny made a VIP stop before his busiest time of the year begins.

Little Steps have had a very busy week! They have been happy to explore the garden and continue to use their muscles in new and different ways, building skills and confidence.

The children have started a project of creating their very own daffodils. Next week the children will continue with a variety of spring based activities.

Young Climbers have been learning all about nature and using this for our activities! We have made our own playdough and created different pieces with this, we have used real life flowers for painting, and we even have tadpoles growing! We have observed the changes to the tadpoles across the week and will continue to learn how they change and how we can look after them as they develop.

Next week we will be planting cress, creating natural pictures from flowers and sticks and exploring how things change and grow.

Our littlest learners can join us from just two years of age, and are welcomed and nurtured by our team of warm Nursery staff, many of whom happen to be women. This International Women’s Day, and every day, our team of friendly and caring female staff, encourage our youngest girls to aspire to be whatever they wish to be when they grow up!

Nursery has had the busiest week returning from Half Term! Children in Young Climbers have been learning lots about farm animals and also had a special visit from a dentist. Little Steps have been learning about their emotions this week. They have been expressive with their artwork and colour mixing in a variety of ways.

Last week, children in Little Steps have been learning all about themselves, talking about their features and what they can see of themselves. Children in Young Climbers have continued their focus on doctors and nurses, with lots of dressing up and role play!

Year 6 love reading with our Nursery children and it’s fair to say that the feeling is reciprocated!

Nursery has been extremely busy in the full force of winter! Jack Frost has been here this week, which the children have absolutely loved seeing each morning.
Children in Young Climbers have focused on finishing their beautiful art pieces, making snowflakes. They have explored winter mark making with penguins and have learnt how different sized cardboard can create different sized circles, as well as exploring mixing winter colours.
They have shown great interest in doctors and nurses this week. Therefore, this will be the focus for next week, with lots of exciting activities to look forward to.

Children in Little Steps have been creating their representations of bears from this week’s story, Bedtime for Little Bears.
Next week, they will have one final week of winter inspired activities.

Nursery have had an extremely busy week! We have been learning all things winter! Little Steps children have created their own winter trees, bringing the outside in, and having nature at hand as well as creating their very own snowmen in a bottle! The book the children have thoroughly enjoyed this week is 'The Very Bouncy Bear written by Jack Tickle.
Young Climbers have also created their own snowmen, using paint and cardboard to create their outlines, decorating them individually as they go. The children have also created their own Snowflakes from follypop sticks and their own winter trees from newspapers!
Next week, nursery will continue with a winter theme with ice painting and creating their own winter bird feeders too! The colours of the week for next week are blue and white, and the letter of the week is E.

Children in Nursery last week had a busy focus on animals, in particular, jungle animals and Noah’s Ark! The children have been organising, sorting and matching animals together throughout the week.

Some children went to visit farms last weekend and shared photos from their visit with friends!

This week will be our last week learning about animals… I wonder what we will find?

Young Climbers’ letter of the week will be M and the colour for Little Steps will be Red.

Last week, Little Steps children recreated their own hedgehogs using coloured rice and a variety of materials to represent the spikes. The children also explored autumn through ice and had conkers and leaves frozen and they had to find ways to get them out!

Young Climbers looked at the changes in the weather and at animals we notice in the autumn. The children created their own paintings of different animals and enjoyed learning about robins!
