What a great afternoon tasting all of the delicious cakes. We have chosen a winner.

Wednesday was our bake off competition. What a lot of entries and judges! Thanks to all the parents who helped in any way.

We had so many cakes we managed two cake sales. Look out for the total raised towards our children’s kitchen. 

Each week we are going to put on our wellies and go for a walk under the trees. This week we have been exploring. Some children weren’t very keen to walk in the mud. We will be helping each other to make a den next week using our teamwork and super kind hands to share resources.

This year we sprinkled some cake crumbs to attract the birds. We saw two gulls, two crows and one child saw an owl!

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.
