All of the children have settled into nursery brilliantly, we have had lots of fun exploring the base, making new friendships and taking part in many activities including register time, painting, small world play, interactive stories, letters and sounds, daily draw, making play dough, water painting and bike riding outside, we have been very busy!

The nursery children have been very busy creating caterpillar masterpieces!

The nursery children finally got to do their sports day last Monday, they all had a wonderful time and ran as fast as they could, all of the staff from nursery were very proud of them. In the following days the children made themselves certificates with a drawing of their favourite race.

The children in nursery have loved learning about safari animals over the last couple of weeks, they have created some fantastic paintings and learned lots of facts about animals that originate from other countries.

The children were very excited on Friday afternoon, just before we went to the summer fair one of our butterflies hatched out of its chrysalis! After a discussion we decided that we would need to add some food to both of the nets as the children thought more may hatch over the weekend, so we put half a satsuma in each net just in case! We can’t wait to see how many we have on Monday morning!

The nursery children have been very excited to see how quickly our caterpillars have grown into ‘big fat caterpillars!’ On Friday we even had two that made their chrysalis’s ready to become beautiful butterflies! The children have loved sharing their knowledge of butterfly life cycles and observing each stage so far!

In nursery we have loved having our new planter to grow things in, over the last few months we have nurtured and cared for a range of flowers that we have grown from bulbs and seeds. The children have loved observing our plants growing, we are all super impressed with our gardening skills! We think our flowers look beautiful and we are all thrilled that the bees love them!
