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!

Last week in nursery we shared many stories focusing on mothers, ready for Mother’s Day on Sunday. Throughout the week the children loved thinking about their Mum’s while making them heart keyrings in their favourite colour, decorating cards and having a really good go at writing mum and their own names inside, well done nursery!
