The children have recently been putting chairs together to play trains, so we thought it would be a great idea to introduce a Polar Express role play area to let their little imaginations run wild with. We have seen lots of interesting characters boarding, some familiar from our stores and some new ones! The children have been taking the train to the beach, to the park for a picnic, to the North and South Pole just to name a few destinations!

The children have enjoyed making up stories with all the different fairy tale characters. They have used their imagination and interacted with their peers.

We have listened to the story the Gingerbread Man this week in nursery. We have done lots of fun activities using our cutting and writing skills. We have made some delicious gingerbread men on the playdough table.

Yesterday some of our nursery children went on a visit to Sundown Adventureland and what a fantastic day we had! We went on lots of rides, including a train ride and tractor ride. They were super fun! We looked around Story Book Village at all the fairy-tale houses that we have been reading about in nursery. We even shouted some of the phrases from the story, such as "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down". We went on a magical sleigh ride and met Santa! He said we were all on the good list, so we all received a present. What lucky children we are! Despite the weather being very cold we all had a wonderful time! The nursery teachers would like to thank the children for how well behaved they were, they followed all our golden rules and were a delight to be with! 

This week in nursery we have been reading the story of the Three Little Pigs. In the provision we have been enjoying building houses for the pigs in the construction area and re-enacting the story with the small world figures in the black tray. We could remember all the key phrases from the story, what little stars we are! 

We have listened to the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears in nursery this week. We have loved making our own porridge using a variety of pans and spoons. We have made sweet, salty and spicy porridge. We have shared the porridge we have made with our teachers and friends.
