Our first week in nursery has been fantastic. From the home visits we discovered lots of our children were interested in dinosaurs. They kept popping up everywhere!

We believe that prevention is better than cure, and the earlier we speak to children about how to stay safe online, the better. Parents and carers have a crucial role to play in this.
Parents can be directed to this link Keeping children safe online / NSPCC where they will find advice on parental controls, apps, online gaming, and more.

As a mark of respect for Queen Elizabeth II, the nursery will be closed on the 19th of September for her funeral. The DFE have confirmed this date as a Bank Holiday, which we would normally be closed for.

What an unexpected visitor we had in nursery! Hiding in a box in the garage was a toad! It was carefully carried inside where all the children had the chance to have a look…but you’ll never guess what happened next? It leapt out of the box and jumped around the conservatory!!! It then jumped around the koala room, and then the Penguin room!!! It was gently rescued, placed back in the box and put in a quiet place outside. Later on that morning we went to see if it was still there..but it had hopped off!!!!
Following on from sharing week last week in which some of our parents shared their careers with us we set up a hospital/doctors surgery. The children really enjoyed dressing their friends with bandages, checking their temperatures, listening to each other’s heart beats and administering medication to those who needed it. We also used our writing skills to fill out prescriptions for the Helen Gibson patients.
We also have been showing lots of interest in Volcano’s so we painted our very own volcano ready for an experiment next week! The children used lots of different colours to create the Volcano and making it look as real as possible.
We also recalled on our trip to the farm last week. We created a large scale drawing of our very own farm, talking about where the animals live, what animals there would be and any other things we may find at the farm. The children were very detailed with their drawings, recalling what their favourite part of the farm was and also adding in some animals or other parts of the farm that weren’t there such as a duck pond.
We also explored some mark making using our hands and smaller tools on a large shower curtain! No area was left uncovered and it was a great messy activity.
