Developing our Woodland Area

Threading Skills in Nursery A
We noticed that many of our children were finding threading a little bit tricky to complete independently so we took it into key person groups this week and the children did brilliantly.
Nursery A - Beautiful Me!
We haven’t just been finding out about our new friends in nursery, we have been thinking about ourselves and asking what makes us special. We used mirrors to look carefully at our faces and draw our own self portrrait. Thinking about the shape of our faces, eyes, nose, mouth and ears. We then…

We enjoyed trying out our new school parachute in Nursery A today. It’s huge so there was plenty of space for everyone. We sang along and followed the instructions in the song ‘Wibble Wobble, Wibble wobble, jelly on a plate.” Click on the link below to sing along at home.
Library Time for Nursery A
