Nursery

We had a fun day with our crazy clothes and hair day today.  Check out our craziness!

Using small world play, we told the story of Jesus’ last supper with his friends.  We discussed the words of Jesus to do this to remember him and how many people remember Jesus this way at Mass.  We also talked about Good Friday and how it was a sad day but a good day.  After looking at hot cross…

We made palm leaves in our key person groups and used small world figures to retell the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem, a story that we remember on Palm Sunday.  Different groups of children chose to recreate this story during their role-play throughout the few weeks leading up to our…

This week the children have enjoyed taking part in Easter activities. They have decorated Easter biscuits, painted eggs and been on an Easter hunt.

This week is British Science Week and we are noticing how science is all around us. We have been looking at animals and discussing how they have similarities and differences. The children have enjoyed playing a matching game - finding the halves of the animal faces and identifying each animal. We…

Fruit kebabs were on the food technology menu this week.  The children chopped a variety of fruit and then carefully created their own fruit kebabs.  

The children in nursery enjoyed playing parachute games and relaxing in the hammock under the sunshine this week. They also searched for minibeasts and played imaginatively with one another. 

This week the children prepared their own healthy snack and made fruit kebabs. They practised their chopping skills whilst talking about the different colours, textures, shape and taste of fruits. 

We had a fun packed World Book Day.  This year we had a busy time learning a poem about farm animals to perform in a special assembly this morning.  

The children have been very keen to play outside with their friends this week.  They have had a wonderful time in our woodland areas, enjoying their outdoor learning.  We are also developing some keen gardeners who have been busy doing some early spring planting.

The children have had a brilliant first week back after half term and many have been fully engaged in water play this week both indoors and out.  We have a new water wall with a pump that children have been exploring and observing cause and effect.  

This week we talked about how we are all special and unique.  We know that God loves us all.   We thought about those who love us and  care for us and drew pictures of them on white boards.  We were also interested in the idea that our fingerprints are all different so we decided to use an ink pad…
