Last week in nursery we were food producers for a couple of sessions, we all worked brilliantly as a team to turn cream into butter! The children were amazed it changed from a liquid into spreadable butter that they could eat on some nice fresh bread! Super shaking nursery, well done!

Over the last few weeks in nursery the children have loved learning about farms, We have learned lots about farm animals, food production including crops and even had some real baby chicks visit us from the reception class!

Last week in nursery the children loved celebrating Saint George’s Day, we shared and acted out the story of Saint George and the Dragon, explored colour mixing by making bubble wrap printing dragons, dressed in red and white and had lots of discussions relating to knights and dragons!

The children were very busy over the last two weeks of term, with a focus on Easter they had a fabulous time! We decorated bags, shared stories with an Easter theme, had Easter egg hunts, counted eggs, made chocolate nests, Easter cards and produced lots of Easter crafts, including egg cups and decorations. The children made a great effort to write in their cards, it was a joy to see the pride they displayed when writing their names! Super work nursery, we hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

Last Wednesday the morning children had their last session of the term in the woodland. They were all very excited, continuing to develop their play themes and independence in the woodland while having lots of fun with their friends. The children showed a massive amount of respect and maturity while experiencing a real campfire, they kept themselves and each other safe while waiting patiently for their toasted marshmallows and digestives to cool. They loved the relaxing and magical feelings produced by the woodland environment and the flickering fire flames!
 

In nursery over the last half term the children have been busy learning to identify the first sound they hear in a word, we have been sounding out initial sounds and had some fabulous games of name and cvc word eye spy, they are really beginning to get the hang of initial sounds! Super work nursery, well done!

The children absolutely loved their Forest school session this week, they learned how to keep themselves safe while navigating the woodland and developing a respect for nature. The children worked hard to develop their looking skills by using binoculars, magnifying glasses, insect pots and we had some wonderful games of hide and seek! Everyone enjoyed exploring the woodland and playing in the natural environment, we all left feeling fabulous and we are already looking forward to next week!
