Our Angel is taking shape ready for the Abbeystead Angel trail next weekend.  Nursery’s Angel with all its beautiful handprint wings will be on display on the way to Abbeystead from Quernmore not far past Jubilee Tower. There will be lots of other Angels on display in Abbeystead…

This week we have talked about poppies and how they are a reminder of people who have died in wars. The children helped to make poppy prints which will be put up at the front of school. Have a look for them.

We have been thinking of new words to well known nursery rhymes. We sang, “Baa, baa, green sheep” and found it very funny.

This morning we had a look in the doctor’s bag and decided what each instrument was for.

Today we met Chloe who will be our Diddidancevteacher until Christmas. Chloe is teaching us different dance moves alongside helping us to develop our concentration and listening skills.

The rain held off long enough for the nursery children to explore all of the transport themed frames in the play area. We have worked hard to take turns and wait patiently.

This week we have been investigating toys that need a push or a pull. Today we made aeroplanes. The children all decided to use very large paper. Unfortunately the wind blew all of our aeroplanes behind us!

This week we have been talking about places we would like to visit and how we would get there. The children voted on their favourite place and wrote their name to show which they preferred. The top two places were soft play closely followed by swimming.

We love our concertina doors. We can use the outdoors all through the day whatever the weather.

We went on a springtime hunt. We had to tick all the signs we saw.

We have been looking for things that grow outdoors. We took photos of each other using the iPad. 

The children had to hunt for creatures that hatch from eggs in our wooded walk. We talked about the life cycles of the different creatures we found.
