🐒🌊 Keeping Our Beaches Clean & Caring for Turtles! πŸ’πŸ’™
Our little learners have been carrying on exploring the importance of keeping our beaches clean and looking after the wonderful creatures that live in our oceans! 🌍🐠
Through fun, hands-on activities, the children have been learning about sea turtles, where they live and why it is so important to protect them. We have spoke about how litter, especially plastic and foodwaste, can find its way into our oceans and cause harm to turtles and other sea animals. 🐒
The children discovered how simple actions, such as putting rubbish in the bin, recycling and keeping our beaches clean, can make a big difference to our environment and the animals that call it home. β™»οΈπŸŒŠ
Next week we’ll be exploring the topic of autumn, which means there’s a big possibility we’ll be hunting for muddy puddles! Please can we remember the wellies, coats and spare clothes as the weather changes πŸ‚ 🌧️
Have a lovely weekend everyone πŸ₯

πŸŒŠπŸ–οΈ The Great British Beach Clean! πŸšπŸ¦€
This week we’ve been exploring The Great British Beach Clean and learning all about why it is so important to keep our beaches clean and protect our wonderful oceans. πŸŒπŸ’™
The children have been talking about how litter can be harmful to sea animals and their habitats, and how we can all do our part to look after our environment. 🐒🐬🦭
We’ve been discovering the amazing creatures that live in the sea, including fish, crabs, jellyfish, starfish and dolphins, and thinking about where they live and what they need to stay safe and healthy. πŸ πŸ¦€β­
We’ve also been chatting about what we might find when we visit the beach β€” from shells, pebbles and seaweed to driftwood, footprints and, unfortunately, litter. πŸ”ŽπŸš
Through our play and activities, the children have been developing their understanding of the world, building vocabulary, asking questions and learning that even little actions can make a big difference. πŸŒ±πŸ’š

We’ve continued our exciting β€˜All About Me’ topic this week, discovering more about ourselves, our friends and the wonderful things that make us unique! πŸ’•πŸ‘§πŸ§’
🀟 Makaton Magic – We’ve been learning and practising Makaton signs, helping us to communicate, express ourselves and develop our language skills.
πŸ”€ Name Recognition – We’ve been exploring our names, recognising the letters that belong to us and beginning to understand that our names are special and unique! βœοΈπŸ’•
πŸ‘€πŸ‘ƒπŸ‘‚ Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes! – We’ve been naming and learning about different parts of our bodies through songs, games and lots of fun conversations.
πŸŽ‚ Birthday Celebrations – We’ve been talking about birthdays, how old we are, when our birthdays are and how we celebrate these special days with our families. 🎈🎁
πŸ₯•πŸ“ From Allotment to Plate! – One of our favourite experiences was tasting the fruit and vegetables we’ve grown at our allotment! πŸŒ±πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ We explored the colours, smells, textures and, most importantly, the tastes of our home-grown produce. We even talked about where our food comes from and how it grows. πŸ˜‹

Next week we’ll be exploring the topic of the great British beach clean πŸ–οΈ 🐒
Hope you all have a lovely weekend πŸ₯

🌈✨ WELCOME BACK! ✨🌈

What a fantastic start to our new academic year! πŸ’• We have loved welcoming all of our wonderful children back to nursery and seeing the rooms come alive again with laughter, smiles, friendships and lots of busy little minds. πŸ₯°

The children have settled back in so beautifully and we couldn’t be prouder of them! They have shown such confidence, independence and enthusiasm as they have returned to their nursery routines, made new friendships, reconnected with old friends and supported one another through those first few days back. πŸ‘«πŸ’•

Our first topic, β€˜All About Me’, has given us the perfect opportunity to get to know each other even better. From talking about our families, favourite things, interests and feelings, to exploring what makes each of us unique, the children have loved sharing a little bit of themselves with their friends and staff. 🌟

It has been wonderful watching friendships blossom, confidence grow and new memories begin. πŸ’—

Here’s to a fantastic new academic year filled with fun, friendship, learning, laughter and lots of exciting adventures! 🌈✨

Welcome back, everyone β€” we’re so happy to have you! πŸ₯°πŸ’«
Have a lovely weekend everyone πŸ₯
