Our first half term

A big thank you to all our nursery children and parents, carers and families. We have had a fantastic half term! We have settled in to nursery brilliantly and are now all aware of the routines and have made lots of new friends! We have being so busy exploring and learning through our play, we can't wait for next half term!
Have a fantastic holiday!

The children have enjoyed getting messy recently!

They have enjoyed joining in with the process of making different messy play mediums.

We have used messy play to develop children's learning in a range of areas.

We had so much learning and playing!

We had our first class birthday this week and as it was Mrs Simpson's birthday the children have wanted to learn all about birthdays! We have completed a range of activities themed around birthdays in our play including wrapping presents, making our own wrapping paper, writing invitations and thank you cards, making birthday cakes using lots of different resources!

In our focussed activities we have been looking at the months of the year and when everyone's birthday is. We have also been looking at how old we all are and the children were fantastic at talking about their age and how they celebrate their birthdays at home.

Stay and play

A big thank you to all our parents who attended the first stay and play session. The children really enjoyed showing you our classroom and resources and all our fantastic work so far. They loved sharing their favorite activities from nursery with you and introducing you to their friends

The next session is Wednesday 14th October 2:15-3:15

Settling in.

All the children have had a fantastic time at Nursery so far. They have settled in well to their new routine and made lots of new friends.

We have spent this time exploring our new classroom, reception and school and the children have been brilliant at using the resources and looking after them!

We have even started going to assembly every day in the hall with the rest of school. 

We will use this blog to keep you up to date with out learning throughout the year.

Here's what we've been doing so far:
