Chapelford Village Nursery

This week in nursery, our focus is on journeys. In our ladybird room, the children have been focusing on the story "We're Going on a Bear Hunt." The children have loved this topic so far and have enjoyed making their own bears, playing with the characters, and role-playing the storybook. The children have taken a real interest in this book, and we have lots more planned around this topic. 🐻🧸

This week, the ladybird children have really enjoyed planting some beautiful flowers and plants. The children have loved having their own garden and looking after it daily. We developed our fine and gross motor skills by planting using different tools, and they have enjoyed watering them every day. We have been using all of our senses to smell different types of plants in the garden. They have been very proud of themselves.

Our ladybird children have been learning about the story “The Hungry Caterpillar.” The children have loved this topic and have had lots of different activities related to it going on in their provision. The children have had the opportunity to watch them grow in all our rooms in the setting. We have witnessed them grow bigger and bigger every day. We are excited to see them transform into beautiful butterflies. 🦋

Holiday club 26th May- 29th May ❤️🛝

Over the last couple of weeks, the children have been learning about lifecycles. They have had the opportunity to watch an egg hatch and turn into a chicken. Lots of our activities in nursery have been based around this topic. The children have learned how to hold them and look after them correctly. We are very proud of how the children have been looking after them so well, and it has been a great learning opportunity for them all 🐣🐥🐓

This week, the children had the opportunity to learn about and watch the lifecycle of a chick. They enjoyed observing the egg hatch into a baby chick. The children have enjoyed learning different facts about chicks and participating in many activities. We look forward to watching it grow further over the upcoming week to see what other changes take place. What a lovely experience this has been! 🐣🐥🐤🐓

Last week in nursery, we have been enjoying some planting. We have planted some strawberries, tomatoes, green peas, and onions. We spoke about what plants need to grow. The children have been doing a great job of watering all the plants and are very excited to see what grows 🍀🌱🍃🍓🍅
