We hope you all had a lovely half-term break! Welcome back to nursery for Spring 2. Here is the newsletter for this half-term. We will be learning about freezing places like the Arctic and Antarctica. Towards the end of the half-term we will move onto learning about farms and animals that live in England.
Pip the penguin has arrived in nursery and needs our help! They are trying to get to the North Pole to visit the polar bears but got lost on the way!
In Pip's letter addressed to the nursery children, they asked the children to help look after them for the time being. The children will need to find out what Pip likes to eat, where they like to sleep and the things they like to do to have fun.
The children also did a little waddle dance to welcome Pip and make them feel at home.
This week we have been enjoying learning more around cold places such as the Arctic and Antarctica. We have enjoyed playing with small world animals and we have learnt that polar bears live at the Arctic and Penguins live at Antarctica and they never meet each other. We have painted polar bear faces on the creative table and created maps of the Arctic. We are such super stars at our learning.
This week we have been learning about the Arctic. We have been on some wild adventures exploring the igloo and looking for the Arctic animals we have been learn about.
We are really enjoying our topic on the Arctic. We have been painting some lovely Arctic pictures using white paint, glitter and snowflakes. We know lots of facts about the Arctic, what the weather is like and what animals live there.
As part of our learning about farms and farm animals we are very excited to be planning a visit to Cannon Hall Farm on Wednesday 22nd April.
Yesterday was our final workshop- 'We are Family'. We discussed the behaviour systems that we have in place in school and supported parents with any issues they may be having at home around behaviour. Our raffle draw was very special, as all children won a reward for coming to the workshops! A big thank you to all the families who gave up their time and attended the workshops. It was so lovely to get to know you all better.
Today we had a lovely day celebrating world book day. We enjoyed coming to school in our storybook costumes and seeing our teachers dressed up. We love reading in nursery.
This week we have been exploring painting on ice. We enjoyed watching what happened as the ice melted and all the colours from the paints ran together. Children described it as looking like a rainbow and knew that the ice was melting. They concentrated so well and spent a long time on the activity. We had lots of fun!
Yesterday was our Time for Bed workshop. We talked about bedtime routines and ways to make them work for different families. Parents shared stories with their children while they enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies. Our raffle winners were Jabal and Raheeq in the morning and Brodie and Zahan in the afternoon. Thanks to all the parents who joined us again! Next week is our final workshop – We are Family.
We have been working very hard in our construction area building enclosures for a variety of animals. We have worked together and added lots of things for the animals to do and eat. They have had swings and slides, cheese and lots of drinks. We hope you all have a lovely relaxing half term.
Today we had our pyjama party. Most of us came wearing our pjs, we enjoyed bedtime stories for golden time.
