A huge thank you to the fantastic team from Nissan who volunteered their time to support Barnes Infant Academy yesterday. 💙

Their hard work has made such a difference to our school environment. Throughout the day they helped to build sheds, construct a new sand pit, move outdoor buildings, fill planters, transport soil, sand and stones, and give our outdoor areas a real refresh.

Their enthusiasm, teamwork and willingness to get stuck in were incredible, and the impact of their efforts will be enjoyed by our children for many years to come. Our outdoor spaces are looking better than ever, creating even more opportunities for children to learn, play and explore.

From everyone at Barnes Infant Academy, thank you for your generosity, time and hard work. We are so grateful for your support and for helping us create an even better environment for our children. 🌱🏫👏

"This week in Nursery, the children have enjoyed setting up a Car Garage in our outdoor area. The boys and girls took on different roles in their play including being mechanics and car wash attendants!

Our story of the week is "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen. The children have enjoyed listening to the story, drawing pictures of the bear and designing caves in the block area. We used small world characters to act out the story and made models of bears in the play dough area!

The children have also been exploring 'one less to 5' using the number rhyme "There were five in the bed." We used teddy bears to act out the number rhyme, using our subitising skills to say how many were left!

On Wednesday, the children came to Nursery in their sportswear and we took part in some yoga and a football penalty shootout outside!"
