We are waiting for Easter. We are making links between new life, spring and our animal topic.

We have been very busy today setting up the new temporary Nursery classroom. We can’t wait to show you around after the half term break.

After all of the teddies in Nursery went missing we decided to make hero capes and go and find them. We have developed our mark making skills and written our superhero name on the back. We have listened to and used lots of positional language to describe where they were found.

After listening to the story of Noah’s Ark, the children wanted to make their own rainbow. They have gathered loose parts from all around Nursery to create it. We talked about the colours needed and what indigo and violet might look like. 

We have celebrated with our friends in Nursery. We have taken part in lots of craft activities and tried to eat Chinese food with chopsticks. 

Outside we have different challenges and activities for the Nursery children. This week the children are strengthening their hand muscles. They are spraying the fires with water bottles. We are talking about amounts to five and looking at the numeral that represents each.
