It was wonderful to welcome families into nursery for stay and play. The children loved having the chance to show them around, play with them and even show off their dough disco moves. The children are so settled and happy in nursery and it was lovely to share this with everyone who came.

This week in nursery we have been learning all about autumn. The children have hunted for leaves and signs of autumn outside, using their observation skills and discussing what they had found using the language of colour and size. Our carrots were ready to harvest so we used these to make a carrot cake. The children peeled and grated the carrots themselves, using tools safely. They measured and mixed the ingredients and decorated it when it was ready. They really enjoyed eating it and trying something new. We have also planted some spring bulbs; the children can’t wait to watch these grow!

The children have settled in really well to Nursery during their first two weeks. Our new 2 and 3 year old starters have been having a great time exploring their new surroundings and learning new skills. It has also been lovely to welcome back our returning children and to see how much they have grown up over the summer holidays; they have been wonderful at looking after our new starters. We are excited to see what adventures the children get up to over the coming year.

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt…we’re going to catch a big one!
This week the children in Nursery have loved listening to the story “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”. They have taken part in bear hunts around the nursery and outside, looking for signs of where the bear has been. The children have had some really imaginative ideas for trapping and catching the bear and have also been drawing some pictures of the bear.
The children have really got to know the story and have been fantastic at retelling the story using some wonderful language.
It has been lovely to see the excitement and imagination from all the children!

The children from Nursery had a wonderful trip to the World of Make Believe. They had lots of fun exploring all the areas, engaging in some lovely imaginative play. The pirate ship and the beauty parlour were particular favourites. The children’s behaviour was fantastic, everyone had a great time and did not want to come back to Nursery at the end!
