Magical Mess!
To some this might look like a messy busy classroom. To us it is a creative, collaborative creation that the children have worked hard on all afternoon and are rightly proud of. It represents relationships, compromise, dialogue, decision making, flexible thinking, resilience, perseverance and…

Making Repeated Patterns in Nursery
In Maths, we have been listening for patterns and finding the beat in different nursery rhymes and songs. We have also been looking at patterns around us - spotty, stipy, swirly. Today we identified and made our own repeated patterns with a partner. The children talked about their pattern and were…
Visitors in Reception
When we returned after lunch today imagine our surprise when we noticed some special visitors to our garden! The ducks didn’t hang around long after we went to play and they waddled off down towards Year 2 but we were very excited to see them.
Learning about the Holy Spirit in Nursery A
In RE this week we have been exploring further the story of the coming of the Holy Spirit. We have listened to the story and used scarves, ribbons and bubbles to explore the feeling of wind and thinking about how Jesus’ friends must have felt. The Holy Spirit feels like the wind, makes us feel…
Wibbly Wobbly!
The children have been using our new bamboo pipes to experiment with cause and effect using a ball. They use teamwork and communication skills to make sure the ball didn’t roll off!

Curious and Creative.
What do you do when you need a ruler to measure something? Make one of course! Great number work.
Clay Modelling in Nursery
