Nursery & Reception had a great first week! They got to explore lots of new areas, and made some new friends.
The children in Nursery have been fascinated watching the tadpoles swimming around the pond. They had a lovely surprise last week when we found 5 frogs on the lily pads. They enjoyed pond dipping activities and seeing the frogs up close with a magnifier.
Last week, it was mental health awareness week. The children in Nursery made a friendship web to show we always have a friend. They worked with a friend to practise some calming techniques.
The children also visited the library. They enjoyed a story about a lost teddy bear and chose new books to bring back to school. We stopped at the pond to look at the baby ducklings.
Nursery made good use of the lovely weather we had yesterday and had a campfire. Look at the delicious marshmallows they toasted!
The children in Nursery have enjoyed finding out about people in the community who help us. We had visits from the police, the fire brigade, the paramedics and the dentist. The children learned more about how to keep themselves safe and how to get help if needed.
After reading āThe three billy goats gruff,ā the children in Nursery explored a variety of bridges made using the apparatus. They showed good balance and coordination and enjoyed jumping off the biggest box.Ā Luckily, we didnāt meet any trolls!
The children in Nursery brought their favourite books to school to share with their friends. They all enjoyed listening to each other’s stories. We finished the week with our Year 6 Reading Ambassadors reading to the Nursery children.
The children in Nursery have a specialĀ visitor! Eddie the Elf will be visitingĀ us each day with a Christmas story sent from Santa. The children enjoyed listening to ‘Mouse’s Christmas’ today and can’t wait to find out what the next story will be!
