Building upon our knowledge of the Bible being a special book, we listened to the first story in the Bible and then heard it retold us in our golden box.  The children were mesmerised by the light for light and dark and understood that the cloths represented the sea and land.  We learned that God…

This week the children baked cookies together. We talked about the different ingredients and followed the instructions to make delicious chocolate chip cookies. We used scales to measure the ingredients and mixed and stirred using wooden spoons and whisks. The children then used their hands to…

This week the children in Nursery have been helping to develop our woodland area.  We had a generous donation of logs, so we used our strong muscles to move them into position to create a circle. During our time in the woods we are building our resilience and confidence by taking risks and…

In Nursery A we have been demonstrating our love and care through role play.  We have been caring for our ‘babies’ by making sure they are fed, clothed and well looked after.  We have names for our dolls so that they are treated with dignity and respect.  We talk about why we need to look after…

Nursery A children have been enjoying practising throwing, catching, balancing and ball hitting skills using playground equipment in the sunshine.  

This afternoon we ventured to the grassed area in front of the dinner hall to have lots of fun. As part of our ongoing theme of change we collected leaves and discussed differences, we then explored the adventure trail using our gross motor skills.  There were some wonderful examples of managed…

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…

This week has been all about new experiences for our nursery children.  They have been discovering the nursery environment and all it has to offer, whilst making new friends.  

 The children in Nursery A have been playing together to create a bus, using crates, wheels and wood.  A tambourine made a perfect steering wheel.  Watch out for the fast drivers!
