Nursery

On Friday afternoon some of the children met Poppy, our school therapy dog. It was lovely to see the smiles she brought to the children’s faces. We sure will look forward to another visit from Poppy to say hello to those children who are happy to see her.

We may have had showers this afternoon but it didn’t stop our little ones from having some fun! #enjoy
 

Today we have been busy exploring some super mark making!

The children #enjoyed using their fingers to create pre-writing patterns in the colourful sand. Mrs Bentham talked about her family and modelled drawing a picture of her family- Mr Bentham, baby Nola and her dog Rocky. The children then…

Today has been a lovely day. The children are settling in and enjoying exploring their learning environment. It is great to see happy faces coming into Pre-School, for some, this still can be hard but they are getting better each day and I am super proud when they settle in.

We have been reading the story 'Guess what is growing inside this egg'. The children predicted which animals come from eggs and which ones don't. We then researched it to find out if we were correct, we then had to sort the animals into egg or no egg. The next day we learnt all about numbers and…

This term we have been learning all about traditional tales, to celebrate this we came to nursery dressed as our favourite fairy tale character and brought the story along too. We had so much fun reading our stories and talking about the characters, we even made a mini stage and acted out some of…

The children have been showing a great interest in taking on the role of a police officer. We decided to create a police station, the children have been using the props and costumes to act out scenarios, they especially like putting Miss Brunton into jail.
