Here is the newsletter with all your information on learning and events that are happening this half-term. We will continue to build on our learning about animals that are alive and that live in England and those that live in extremely cold places too.
Pip was delivered to nursery last week in a box, he was frozen. the children thought of ideas to warm him up and look after him. This week he has set them tasks to do, such as build a house for him, draw a map for him to get back to the South Pole and make him some friends using soft stuff.
This week in our role play area we have been dressing up in warm clothes and sleeping in an igloo. The children have really enjoyed pretending to be Arctic explorers.
Today was Red Nose Day and we dressed in our red clothes, wore our red noses and had lots of fun! Don't we look fab!
Today some of our oldest nursery children visited Cannon Hall Farm as part of our learning about Farms. We saw a ferret race, a sheep race, had a tractor ride, went on a tour around the farm to see all the animals we have been learning about. We went in the mammal house and reptile house too. The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun! The children impressed us all with how much knowledge they had retained from the learning we have done in nursery. They were able to share this knowledge on their tour around the farm. They were so well-behaved and all the teachers were so proud of them! What a credit to our school they are!
We have been exploring ice and Arctic animals in nursery this week. We have talked about how the ice is made, how it feels to touch it and what happens to it when it is left out in nursery.
After the Easter holidays we have an exciting event: our Eid celebration!
This week in nursery we have been developing our fine motor skills by adding body parts to Mr. Potato Head. The children have really enjoyed creating some silly faces.
Today was World Book day and we had a fantastic day dressed up as our favourite characters. Even the teachers got dressed up! We all looked fantastic!
Today was our final nursery workshop 'We are Family'. We talked all things behaviour including the happy sunshine, sad sunshine and sad cloud that we use in nursery, the golden coin jar and golden time, how to phrase comments in a positive way rather than using stop or no and using nursery staff to praise children when they have followed the rules at home. The children then came through and showed all the grown ups what we do during our circle times. They followed all the circle time skills and helped the puppets to solve a problem they were having. Thank you so much to all the families who attended over the last 6 weeks, it was so lovely to get to know you better!
Red Nose Day is Friday 21st March 2025.

The children have really enjoyed playing in the fruit and vegetable shop this week.They have been both shopkeepers and customers, filling their baskets and paying for their items. They even formed orderly queues to pay.
