To celebrate Pride Week children came to nursery wearing their favourite colours. We talked about what made us individual and what makes us unique. We discussed our families and how each one can be very unique in who lives in our houses, what we like to do, what we eat and how we should celebrate this! Children brought in a stone as big as their hand and were able to decorate it with whichever colours we wanted.
We had so much fun at Hall Hill Farm
We were able to stroke a huge rabbit. It was very heavy!
We also held a guinea pig. He was very soft.
We fed some of the animals with milk as they were just babies.
The animals tongues tickled our hands.
We even had a ride on a tractor.
We were exhausted by the time we went home and some of us even fell asleep!
We had a special chart to show us the types of mini beasts we might spot in our nursery garden.
We had a think about the equipment we might need then off we went to explore.
We checked under rocks, wooden tree trunk stumps and in the mud and were amazed at all the creatures we found!
Please remember that nursery will be closed on Friday the 27th of May. We therefore break up on the 26th. All schools have been given an additional day holiday to celebrate the Jubilee.
Some of our children are now recognising letter sounds in their names and very shortly will be moving into Reception class where they will take part in daily phonic lessons. We thought this link would be helpful for you to use at home when they are ready for this. It ensures that we are all using the same sounds which can stop children becoming confused in the future.
I thought this following link would be useful for us all to read to ensure our children at Helen Gibson Nursery School stay safe whilst online or using ICT equipment.

WB 25th April
This week in the Koala group we have enjoyed being back in forest school we investigated some of the small creatures in our outside area. Using the magnifying glasses, we found a big wasp on our hut. The children explored the mud kitchen making hot chocolates and mud cakes filling and emptying with the soil and water. Some of the children found worms in the sand pit watching as they wriggled around.
We used our skills to explore some measuring equipment and measured objects of different sizes comparing it to the story Goldilocks, using big medium and small.
To finish the week the Sunshine made an appearance and we enjoyed exploring outside, helping Mrs Wright to plant a raspberry plant and dig in our allotment.
