Nursery

What an exciting morning we have had in nursery! We are currently learning about ‘People Who Help Us’ and today our local Fire Station in Netherton came to visit us. The firefighters brought the engine and talked to the children about their important role and how they help to keep everyone safe.…

Over the past few weeks the children have been watching our caterpillars transform into beautiful butterflies. We have talked about the four stages of the life cycle of a butterfly - the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly. The children have really enjoyed observing the changes and today we had…

Today we visited Formby Beach and Pinewoods.  We linked our visit to the book The See Saw by Tom Percival.  The children had a little picnic and time to play in the sand.  We spent time walking, talking, climbing, digging, rolling, laughing and singing! There were some very sleepy children on the…

The children have been building together using wood and crates. They were very imaginative creating an obstacle course, a fire truck and then a helicopter. There was lots of balancing, jumping and travelling. Great teamwork!

Well done to all the children for taking part in Sports Day today. They all had lots of fun and got involved in different races including egg and spoon, obstacle and relay. You were all little stars!

The children love making play dough with an adult at the start of the week.  Lately the children have been using shells and pebbles to enhance their creations. 

We have been working hard to maintain our garden in nursery.  We have a mixture of plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables growing.  Look carefully at the labelled pebbles to see the selection including, sunflowers, beetroot, lettuce, onions, radishes, cress, sweetcorn, courgettes and strawberries.…

Some of the children in Nursery A have been busy mixing, pouring, creating and enhancing today.  They decided that they would like to make their own nursery perfume.  They added vanilla and cinnamon to the water, glitter and daisy flower recipe to create their own fragrance.…
