Hello Everyone,

Despite the relentless rain this week we have still been able to get outside and we have been busy planting lots of flowers and plants – each child in Nursery have been given their own pot to care and look after. The children are very excited about the caterpillars – they have grown huge and are ready to turn into chrysalids. We have made some beautiful symmetrical butterfly prints and the children have worked on our ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ maths display. We are also very excited that we are going on a trip to Twycross Zoo on 21st June, this will be such a great learning experience for the children so it would be wonderful if all the children are able to go. Have a good weekend!

What will our caterpillars turn into?

Flower Power

Beautiful Butterflies

Hello Everyone,

We have been fascinated to see our caterpillars grow from tiny caterbillars to big fat caterpillars so we are waiting in anticipation for them to turn into chrysalis. The children have made playdough caterpillars, printed caterpillars using a repeating pattern and we have been drawing what The Very Hungry Caterpillar ate each day for our maths display. We have also been learning about Baptism this week and talking about how water is used and that we are given our special name – thank you so much for sending in photos and artefacts from your child’s Baptism. Next week we will be focussing on butterflies and we will also be doing some more planting, so fingers crossed the weather will be kind to us.Have a good weekend.

Hello Everyone,

Happy St.Georges day! What wonderful weather we have been enjoyng this week, so we have been doing most of our learning outside. The children have been very excited to use our outside area – we have put out the climbing frame and mud kitchen with the addition of sawn off logs to provide seating/stepping stones. We had a new arrival in Nursery this morning – tiny caterpillars which we are going to look after and watch turn into butterflies, so our theme for the next couple of weeks is going to be ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ which should be lots of fun.The children looked great in their red, white and blue today – we learnt about St.George, made England flags, watched ‘Zog’ and coloured dragons. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the sunshine!

This week we have enjoyed making Easter cards, making and decorating Easter egg biscuits and making chocolates. The Easter Bunny paid a visit last night and left us chocolate eggs to find outside which we were very excited about looking for. A BIG,BIG THANK YOU to all of you and your children – Nursery raised £124 for CAFOD! We are super proud of our children and they are extremely proud of themselves for being so helpful at home – well done! Finally, have a great Easter and we will see you back at Nursery on Monday 19th April.

Hello Everyone,

Despite the rain we were able to get out this morning to plant our potato seedlings which the children are very excited about watching grow, dig up, cook and eat. On Monday the children made their own sandwich for snack time using the cress we have been growing in Nursery. The children have also made some beautiful chicks, painted and drawn daffodils and made Easter cards. Next week we will be making Easter bicuits and chocolates and hopefully The Easter Bunny will be making a visit and leaving eggs for an Easter egg hunt. Thank you to all of you who have sent donations in for CAFOD – there is still time to send in slips saying how the children have been helping at home along with any donations. Remember next week our last day in Nursery is Thursday. Have a good weekend everyone.

Hello Everyone,

This week we have planted our broad beans and have been doing lots of measuring activities. The children also looked wonderful on Wednesday, dressed up in green for St.Patrick’s Day. Thank you to the children and parents who have sent in their envelopes for CAFOD and telling us what jobs they have done at home to help – the children have been really proud of the things they have done. It would be great if everybody could return their envelopes by the end of next week and we can celebrate what everybody has been doing to help out at home. As well as doing Easter activities, next week we will be making sandwiches with some of the cress we have grown and we will also be planting potatoes. Have a good weekend Everyone.

Hello Everyone,

This week we have been doing activities based on Jack on the Beanstalk, which we will also continue  next week. We have started off simply this week by starting to grow cress seeds and next week we will be planting beans and also potting some flowers for a special Sunday that is coming up soon! On Thursday the children loved dressing up for World Book Day – they all looked wonderful. Lots of stories were read and we also decorated eggs as book characters. Have a good weekend!
