Nursery made the most of a wild and windy afternoon this week!

We gathered lots of making materials and made kites to fly. We made sure we used lots of glue so they didn't blow to pieces!

When we had all finished we put on our coats and ran around our big playground and watched our kites…

We had a fabulous summer holiday themed fun day, starting with packing a suitcase activities, sun cream safety and even a life like aeroplane experience!!

Our grown ups, brothers and sisters came in the afternoon for some snakes and ladders, limbo, connect 4, bouncy castle, parachute and crazy…

There was lots of excitement today in nursery when friends spotted this man in his vehicle through our window. We quickly went outside to see what he was doing to the lamp post. He waved at us as we watched him change light bulb. Some of us thought this job was the best job…

We had so much fun at our nursery sports day!

Our grown ups came to watch us and we completed lots of different throwing, catching and balancing events. We then had running races, egg and spoon races and even the sack race!

We were presented with shiny medals whilst everyone…

Nursery went on a shape hunt in church.

 We had a look outside then found lots of different shapes inside too. We explored and looked closely all around.

Out topic this half term is 'growing'. We listened to the story of 'Jack and the beanstalk' then planted our own beans, cress seeds and flowers. We have balanced up a beanstalk into a castle in our outdoor area and looked closely at our beans slowly growing. We are drawing and cutting out leaves…

Nursery went on a coach to South lakes zoo for the day. We saw lots of animals and enjoyed playing on the park. 

We wrote some invitations inviting our grown ups to stay and play at the teddy bears' activity morning. We enjoyed exploring the activities with them and showing them around.

Today we talked about it being a special day and looked inside Mrs Atkinson's shopping bag. She had flour, eggs, milk and fruit. We chatted about how we are getting ready for Easter and learnt a new pancake song,

Mix a pancake,

Stir a pancake,

Pop it in a pan.

Fry the pancake,

Toss…

We had lots of fun whilst playing outside this morning. The sunshine inspired us to make an ice cream shop in the outdoor role play area. We found beautiful daffodils that had sprung open and we thought of things to build with the large construction pieces.

We enjoyed playing outside whilst it snowed down on us! There wasn't enough snow to make a snowman like we'd hoped but we still enjoyed pretending we were skating and trying to make snowballs. 

We worked our muscles hammering one into the pumpkin. We put our hands in to get the seeds to plant in the nursery garden.
