Writing special messages in RE
As part of our work in RE, we have been talking about loving our neighbour and how we can show love to one another. We wrote special messages to one another and put them in the post box to send.

Spring Walk in Nursery A

Painting in Different Ways in Nursery A
This term in nursery we have been exploring painting in different ways and different context. Last week we painted outside on tinfoil and took part in finger paining. This week the children painted to different pieces of music and they absolutely loved it.
Nursery Painting and Dancing to Music
This week the children have been exploring painting whilst listening to music. Today they asked to listen to the music again so they could dance together. We talked about the music saying if it was fast, slow, high, low, calming or energetic.

Telephones and Messages in Bottles.
This week, linking to our English text ‘The Priates are Coning’ we have been writing messages in bottles and floating them on the water in nursery! We have also talked about other ways we can give or receive messages, realising that we communicate in many different ways. We also made our own…
World Book Day in Nursery A
As part of our World Book Day activities, we took part in a book swap. In nursery we spread all the books out in our circle and each had chance to choose a new book to read and take home. We love books in our nursery!
Shrove Tuesday
In celebration of Shrove Tuesday, the children had a special visitor come in to school to make pancakes with the children. We talked about what ingredients we need to make pancakes and how they are cooked. The children choose their toppings and ate their pancakes together!
