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…

This week’s warm weather has called for a variety of sand and water play in nursery.  The children have enjoyed exchanging wellies for bare feet in the sand and have explored pouring, funnelling and spooning water both in indoor and outdoor water play.  The children have been cooperating in much…

Today Nursery A and B joined together for a picnic in the sunshine.  We have been reading the book The Sea Saw and this week, in relation to the text we have been planning a picnic.  We are looking forward to our beach trip next week too. The children enjoyed tasty banana oat bars that they made…

Year 1 Literacy- Our Toy Party

Following on from our story ‘Toys in Space’ the children had a party with their own toys from home. We had lots of yummy party food and dancing. We will then be able to write our own diary entry. 

In Nursery we are reading Gigantosaurus which is a story about dinosaurs. This week the children have discovered frozen dinosaurs in class and used a variety of tools to free the dinosaurs. This created a lot of discussion about what they could see, feel and hear. “The ice is melting!” “It’s…
