Last week in nursery we began to learn about animals, the children had a wonderful time counting eggs, creating a duck pond with number ducks and painting observational pictures of the animals you would may find on a farm. In our role play area the children have healed many poorly pets while working in our veterinary surgery, we have had a very busy week!

This week the children have loved having the parachute out, they worked as a team to raise it into the air from the floor then took it in turns to go underneath or on top, they really enjoyed experiencing all of the different colours while they moved above them. What super team work!

Over the last couple of weeks in nursery the children have loved learning about Easter, we have shared Easter stories and songs, extended our vocabulary using story based matching pairs, learned about wind up toys, counted eggs and created many Easter crafts!

Today we went on the running track, when we got there we realised the grass was being cut so we all sat on the bench and watched as the tractor went up and down the field. We had a brilliant time talking about the weather, season of spring and smelling the fresh cut grass before completing some laps with our friends.

Last week the children were very busy looking after their planted iris bulbs ready to take home for Mother’s Day, they made cards and flower bouquets to say thank you to their mums for everything they do for them. The children were very proud of their creations and couldn’t wait to take them home!
