This week we looked very closely at daffodils.  We then pained what we could see.  We talked about the flowers shapes, colours smells and how they look different from other angles.

This week we have spent time experimenting.  We used magnets to find things that were metal, looked at how colours can mix and change using the light board as well as finding things out in books.  We mixed flour and added things to it to see what would happen and looked at how to join magnetic spheres and cylinders together to make new shapes.

This has been a ‘super’ start to the year for our children in main nursery.  We have been choosing and reading our own books, making new friends, working with each other, exploring new sensory textures and best of all….HAVING FUN!

We had a beautiful day celebrating with our children who are leaving us to start their school journey.  So many parents and carers came, it was amazing! Hope you all have a lovely summer, and we look forward to welcoming back our returners and excited to meet all of our new children in September.

Thank you to those parents who supported our Sharing Week, where the children had the opportunity to explore a police car, try on a uniform and press all the buttons in the car! The children also had a relaxing yoga class, and a cooking experience where the most delicious chocolate cookies were made, cooked…..then eaten!

We have been so busy in the run up to Christmas! From Santa’s Work shop where wrote letters to Santa to decorating Christmas Trees, painting with glitter and making cards and calendars for our families. We loved the Polar Express Day, the visits from Peep the Elf and practised hard for our Christmas Nativity. We are definitely on Santa’s Nice List! We made many memories and had lots of fun.

What an exciting evening we all had! We came to nursery in our pyjamas, we had hot chocolate and ginger bread biscuits as we watched Polar Express and

we’ve all had the reindeer dust, and the bell that you only hear ring if you truly believe.
