This week in nursery we have been exploring how to make lava in a fun experiment. We mixed bicarbonate of soda with vinegar mixed with red food colouring and then the fun began. It bubbled and erupted like a volcano. We loved watching what happened, and the children have requested that we make lava again next week as they enjoyed it so much! What fun we have in nursery!
On Wednesday we had our first We are Family workshop 'Food for Thought'. Parents spent time talking together about any issues they were having at home regarding their children eating. Then the children came through and tried lots of different healthy foods including fruit, vegetables, different dips, milkshake and smoothie. We had 4 raffle winners- Freddie and Asif won a prize out of Miss Houghton's box of toys and Kane and Sia won a £10 book token. Thank you so much to everyone who came, it was lovely to spend time with you. Hopefully we see more of you next week at our It's good to talk workshop.
This week we have welcomed some more new children. They have explored lots of different activities and settled really well.
What a fantastic experience our oldest nursery children had today. We had lots of different animals turn up at school for us to look at and handle. There was a giant snail, hissing cockroach, lizard, snake, gerbal, rabbit, meerkat, ferret and a skunk. The children sat so well to listen to the information and were so gentle at handling the animals. We were so proud of how brave they were! I may have gone a little snap happy with how many photos there are but they were all so lovely I couldn't narrow them down!
It was lovely to welcome our children back to nursery after the Christmas break. We have had some new children and members of staff start with us this week. We have had lots of fun from playing in the snow, exploring the dinosaur dig and playing in the provision.
Welcome back to nursery for Spring 1! We have some exciting learning around our theme: Explorers. We will learn all about dinosaurs and African animals.

We look forward to seeing you back at school on Monday the 6th January. We hope you had a lovely break!
We have all been getting super excited during our last week in nursery before the holidays. We have been decorating the tree, looking at Christmas books, making Christmas cards and pictures and generally just having a jolly time!
Today was our nursery Christmas party and we had a fantastic day! We ate party food, which was yummy! We played party games such as pass the parcel, musical bumps and musical chairs and we even got prizes! There was a big surprise when we got back into nursery as Santa had been and left snowy footprints which led to a sack of presents and a special letter where he thanked us for being good all year! What a great time!

A message from Esmae and Scarlett
After today's visit to mission Christmas HQ, we were very sad to see how much the charity is struggling for donations this year again.
We were wondering if anyone from school could help. If we could arrange for any parents that are able and willing to help by dropping off an item or toy to the school (which we are more than happy to deliver to HQ with promoting the schools contribution) to help boost the warehouse in donations. It’s a big ask, but as we know every little helps no matter how big or small.

We have had such a fun time in nursery over the last 2 weeks decorating a biscuit with icing writing pens and then eating it. This was because we had filled our good choice jar again, what little super stars we are. Squeezing the pens was a little bit tricky but we used our strong fingers and really persevered. They were yummy to eat!
In nursery we are busy creating a book of our children celebrating different events such as Eid, birthdays, Halloween and Christmas. The children are really enjoying looking at the book with their friends and talking about the different photos and different celebrations. If you would like your child to be in the book please send photos to f1@watercliffe.sheffield.sch.uk
