When it’s hot, we put on our hats and suncream and take our learning outside. Today we have been making boats to play with in the water. We worked in the shade.

Today we used the new children’s kitchen for the first time. We made ginger biscuits after listening to the story of “The gingerbread man.”

We had a big problem today! We only had blue, red and yellow paint but we wanted to paint plums, carrots and apples. We mixed colours together and were surprised at the new colours we made.

In nursery this half term we are learning about growing. We will talk about plants as well as how animals and birds change as they grow.

Scot4all have been clearing the woodland walk to make it safe for us to go in. We had a good look around today so that we could make some suggestions.

This week we heard the story Jesus told about the lost sheep. The children hid their sheep pictures around Nursery and I was like the shepherd looking everywhere. I kept looking until they were all found. 

On World book day our friends from Y3 came to take us on a book character trail. They were surprised at how many books we recognised.

We have been making our own small worlds during continuous provision. We thought carefully about which animals could share a pen in our zoo.

In nursery we talk about how to keep our bodies healthy. The children talked about how to keep their teeth clean and showed us what to do. All of the children got a new toothbrush to take home.

We joined in with the RSPB’s big bird watch. We saw 2 crows and a gull.

We listened to the story of Noah. The children were very interested in the part about the rainbow. We used a handy table to make our loose parts rainbow. The children all talked about their favourite colours.

We have looked all around school for things that might not be safe. We are good at spotting dangers.
