When gardening on the nursery playground the children were very excited to find some eggs! After extensive discussions and an investigation about what eggs they could be, we thought they were slug eggs, as we found out that wood lice do not lay eggs. We decided that we would check on them every day that we are in school.

When checking our eggs a few days later we saw one had hatched, to our surprise we saw a tiny little snail!

Over the last week we have loved checking the eggs and we are very happy that our snail is growing well!

we can’t wait to see if some more hatch!

The children have been making the most of their daily time on the running track and have impressed themselves and the nursery team at how many laps they can do around the field. Super work nursery!

For the last couple of weeks in nursery we have been learning all about Winter and animals that like to live in cold climates. As the children expressed an interest in penguins we have leaned lots of penguin facts and made a display, focusing on the book Lost and Found, where a little boy finds a penguin so they go on an adventure to the South Pole. We have loved studying penguin features and creating our own lolly stick penguins and painted penguins for our display.

This week in nursery we have all settled back in brilliantly and welcomed some new children too! We have loved discussing what we have done during our Winter break and what we would like to do throughout this new year. We have talked about the weather being much colder and thought about how we can keep ourselves warm as it is now Winter. We also had lots of fun and laughs using the Purple Mash Cams to make our calendars.

Last week in nursery we got one of natures buy one, get one free! We were all very excited as we got the biggest banana we have ever seen in our snack fruit. When we opened it we were amazed to see two bananas that could be separated so two children happily had them for their snack!
