In nursery the children have loved learning about the lifecycle of a caterpillar to butterfly, here are some of the activities they have been enjoying!

Last week in our reading groups we read ‘The haircut!’ The children enjoyed exploring the books, looking at the title page, the blurb on the back, turning the pages, discussing what was happening on each page and talking about the beginning, middle and the end of the story. We then discussed our own experiences of hair cutting!

The nursery children really enjoyed sports day, they tried their best in all of the races and had such fun, we were all very proud of them. During the week in nursery they made their certificates adding their name and drawing a picture of their favourite race!

Last week some of the children realised that if they held the tissue paper in front of the air conditioning vents they could make it fly across the room! They had so much fun and did several tests to see how far or high it would go depending on the amount of tissue paper they held up or how tightly they had packed it together! After they had finished they all did a wonderful job of tidying up. What wonderful investigating nursery, well done!

Last week in nursery we were all excited to receive our caterpillars in the post, they were very small as they had just hatched! We discussed our knowledge of caterpillar to butterfly life cycles from the Eric Carle book of The Hungry Caterpillar. All of the children gently passed them round to have a good look at them.
