After hearing the story of Jack and his beanstalk, the children were very keen to plant their own beans. We looked at different coloured beans and compared their sizes. The children are watering the beans and checking them daily.

This morning we went to Dorrington Road Woods. We have found out about creatures who live in British woods. We looked at creatures with no legs, 2 legs and as many as 8 legs. We collected natural materials to make a picture of a woodland creature. Can you guess what we made?

We are waiting for Easter. We are making links between new life, spring and our animal topic.

We have been very busy today setting up the new temporary Nursery classroom. We can’t wait to show you around after the half term break.

After all of the teddies in Nursery went missing we decided to make hero capes and go and find them. We have developed our mark making skills and written our superhero name on the back. We have listened to and used lots of positional language to describe where they were found.

We have celebrated with our friends in Nursery. We have taken part in lots of craft activities and tried to eat Chinese food with chopsticks. 

We had a lovely morning with our Nursery friends. We were celebrating Chinese New Year. We completed lots of Chinese New Year related activities.

As soon as the snow fell we went out to enjoyit.

We had some very exciting visitors this afternoon. Do you recognise anyone?

Outside we have different challenges and activities for the Nursery children. This week the children are strengthening their hand muscles. They are spraying the fires with water bottles. We are talking about amounts to five and looking at the numeral that represents each.

Today two fish have come to Nursery. We are going to look after them whilst their owners are on holiday. We have talked about the rules we will need to keep them safe, linking it with our kind hands board. Each day we will choose a child from the kind hands board to feed the fish.

The two performances of The Landlord's Cat were amazing and everyone did a fantastic job with their singing, dancing, acting, learning lines and signing. We hope you enjoyed it.
