Well done Nursery another busy week!

This week we have been celebrating British Science week, the theme for this year is ‘Time’. We began by talking to the children about what time means to them and how do they tell the time. We talked about how time affects every part of our lives, we decided to learn a little more about growing seeds and watching how they grow over time. The children took some time to look at the seeds before we planted them and discussed what the seeds needed to help them grow. What a great time we had planting and now look forward to watching our seeds grow.

As it is Brain Awareness week, we have enjoyed learning all about the brain. We discussed where the brain is located, what we need a brain for and how we keep our brain healthy. We then had lots of fun making a brain headband to remind us of the fascinating facts we have learnt.

We have also started to think abut Spring and new life, the children were interested in animals and their young and particularly animals on a farm. We spent some time discussing the different animals and what they call their young for example cow and calf, sheep and lambs. We are hoping to have a visit from some lambs in a few weeks.

Well done Nursery!

Oh, what a fabulous time we are having in Nursery!

We are continuing to thoroughly enjoy our Forest school, this week we enjoyed a little bit of free time to explore outdoor area. The children quickly noticed how a lot of new flowers had started to grow and were particularly interested in the feel of the bark the trees and how it all felt different, the children were able to use some great language to describe how the tree bark felt.

We have also spent some time talking about Mother’s Day and the special women in our lives linked to ‘International Women’s day’. The children spent some time talking about why they love the special women in their life and why we celebrate Mother’s Day. We hope you all have a fabulous day on Sunday and spend some time relaxing!

Thursday was World Book Day; the children looked fantastic in their costumes - well done everyone! The children were treated to a performance of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ from the Nursery team, the children really enjoyed Trinity theatre and having snack while watching the show. The children also took part in a catwalk where they got the chance to show off their costume to friends and talk about their favourite book. What a fabulous day!

Ahaargh me hearties! What a swashbuckling week we have had!

On Wednesday we went to Church for our WOW service where we celebrated ‘Mother’s Day’. The children have really enjoyed learning the different songs that they performed for the special people in their lives and Caroline spoke about why Mother’s Day is celebrated in Church. Thank you all for coming and we hope you enjoyed it.

We have continued to learn all about Pirates and spent the week looking at Pirate ships and the different features of them. We also looked at pictures of different boats such as a ferry, sailing boat, canoe. Spending time discussing, what is the same and different about the boats. The children then used the junk modelling to make their own boats and then using the water tray explored whether they would float or not.

On Tuesday we were very excited as it was our Pirate day we took part in lots of different Pirate themed activities such as walking the plank, scrubbing the decks, our pirate fitness challenge getting to skull island, mastering and handling our sword and finally our treasure hunt looking for gold coins that we could eat!!

Well done Nursery!

We hope you had a fabulous half term and are excited for the half term ahead.

We began the week by going to Forest school, we spent some time talking about the changes in our environment and how did we know it was nearly spring? The children enjoyed exploring the area around then to spot signs of spring, we saw Daffodils snowdrops and crocus. If you are out on a walk why don’t you see what other signs of spring you can see?

On Tuesday we were very excited to find a treasure map with some clues. After following the clues and finding all of the pieces we finally found a treasure box chest with a story book ‘Pirates are Coming’. The children loved listening to the story and then spent some time later in the week discussing what they knew about Pirates and also looking at and talking about their own treasure boxes.

This week we have also been learning all about ‘Dental Health’ we talked about our experiences of visiting the dentist and why it is important to look after our teeth. On Wednesday were lucky to have a visit from a local dental practice, they talked all about how to keep our teeth clean, gave us some facts about our teeth and what foods are good for our teeth and ones we should avoid or have a little at a time. We also took part in a colouring competition and four of our friends won prizes for their pictures. We all took home a goody bag for us to use at home this included a toothbrush, timer, disclosing tablet, toothbrushing chart, book and stickers!

Wow, half term really has come around quickly. A big well done to Nursery you truly are super stars, we hope you enjoy the break and see you after half term!

We have enjoyed learning all about ‘Chinese New Year’ or ‘Lunar New Year’. The children have spent time listening to stories and comparing it to how they spent New Year. The children took part in food tasting and dragon dancing which they loved.

On Tuesday the children celebrated ‘Safer Internet Day’, they were thrilled to welcome the Digital leaders who have worked hard learning a special presentation for our class. We then talked about who we should tell if there was something that upset us on the internet and it’s good to talk about it.

Ahead of Valentine’s day next week the children enjoyed listening to the story ‘Guess how Much I love you’. They have created love bug biscuits using Oreo’s and made a special picture using their handprints to send to those they love. What a lovely way to end the week.

We have had the most amazing time this week, well done Nursery!

On Monday, the children hunted for the 4 pieces of a jigsaw in the classroom that led to the clues of a favourite book by Julia Donaldson ‘The Gruffalo’. We then retold the story of the Gruffalo using the characters, using repetitive phrases and language from the book. What great storytellers we had!

The children have continued to retell the story of ‘The Gruffalo’ using the story tuff tray. The children have enjoyed our Gruffalo themed areas, making Gruffalo crumble, painting and making the characters from the Gruffalo. The children took part in the Gruffalo themed PE, we made sure we jumped with bent knees like the Gruffalo, moved quick like the mouse, high like the owl, quiet like the snake and far like the fox!

Well done Nursery!

Well done Nursery, what a super week we have had!

Continuing with our theme ‘Winter’, there was a particular interest in Penguins so we have enjoyed learning a little more about them. We also enjoyed the story ‘Blue Penguin’ and then the next day we found Blue Penguin had left our very own eggs to look after. The children had to build nests, practice balancing the eggs on their feet and waddle around like a Penguin. We also waddled like a penguin to lunch (which was incredibly funny) and took part in a penguin themed yoga session. The children also created some fabulous paintings and drawings of penguins.

WOW what a busy week we have had, we welcomed to the class two new friends who soon settled and were having fun!

As part of our theme ‘Winter’ theme the children have enjoyed a variety of different stories. We have talked about the types of clothing we may wear in the Winter and then how they are different to the clothes we wear in Summer. The children enjoyed sorting different the clothes and talking about why they would or would not wear them in the winter. After reading the story ‘Winter Sleep’ the children were inspired to make bird feeders to try and attract different birds into our outdoor area. The children enjoyed creating the bird feeders using pinecones, lard and bird seed, they are very excited to use binoculars and the bird checklist to see which birds we can spot. We particularly enjoyed singing along to ‘The Winter Hokey Pokey’ learning lots of new actions to help keep us warm.

Happy New Year to everyone and we hope you had a lovely Christmas. The children have returned to school with big smiles and full of excitement sharing news about their holidays.

For RE this week we welcomed Caroline into class for our first Godly Play of 2024. It was lovely to welcome Caroline as she  told  the children the story of ‘Jonah and the Whale’. Thank you so much to Caroline, the children love it when she visits us.

The children have enjoyed listening to different stories all about the ‘New Year’ and talking about how they celebrated with their family and friends. We also discussed what month the New Year starts and that we are now in the year 2024. We talked to the children about how sometimes people like to make a ‘New Year Resolution’, this means a promise for something you are going to do for the year ahead, it may be that you want to make new friends, keep your bedroom tidy or even learn a new skill such as fastening your coat or riding a bike. The children had lots of different ideas about what they may like to do.

All children across the whole school are encouraged to read each day both in and out of school. Some additional recommended Reading at Home resources can be found here

Thank you to Caroline and Anne for all their help and support this year.

We have continued to be entertained by our class Elf ‘Olaf’ who has been up to mischief in the classroom. The children have been excited to see where he is hiding every morning and what story he has brought for them to share together.

Friday was Christmas jumper and Christmas Party day; the children came to school wearing their own clothes and a Christmas jumper. We had fun playing lots of party games and eating party food. What a super way to end the week!

We have also been entertained by our class Elf who has been up to mischief in the classroom. The children have been excited to see where he is hiding every morning and what story he has brought for them to share together. It did take the children a little while to think of a name for the Elf but after a class vote they decided on Olaf!

The children have started to learn all about Christmas and the importance of this special time. We have talked about advent and how this is a special time to prepare for this special day. The children have also been very busy making cards and gifts to bring home for their families and are getting very excited.

On Friday the children were treated to a multi-sports PE session from ‘Star Sports Academy'. This helped the children to build up agility, balance and co-ordination and then they gained an introduction to basketball, cricket, football, golf and many other sports. The children had a lovely time and really enjoyed this.

We were also lucky to have a Facetime with Nurse Jess who told them all about the role of a Nurse within a Hospital, the children were able to ask lots of different questions.

On Friday the children were treated to a ‘Christmas Extravaganza’ in the school hall, there were lots of activities, games and stalls for the children to visit and enjoy.

This week we began our new theme ‘People who Help Us’. On Tuesday the children were excited to find a crime scene, they had to look at the different clues and decide who they would need to call to help them. The children decided the Police were the right people for the job! So, we decided to become the police for the day to help solve the mystery of how Humpty Dumpty was hurt. On Thursday we were lucky to have a visit from a Community Police Officer Tim and Police Constable Gres and El who talked to the children about their job and also about ‘Stranger Danger’. The children were able to ask lots of questions and even try on some uniform.

As part of Road Safety Week, the children have spent some time learning to cross the road safely. They spent some time in the outdoor area first and then took their new skills to the road outside of the school. Here they demonstrated how sensible they were and that they remembered the simple rules; to make sure they are always holding a grown-ups hand and to stop, look and listen. What super stars!

It was ‘Kindness week’ in school this week that was launched with our very own school video, please follow the link if you have not already seen it! The children enjoyed talking about the different people around the school who help them like Mrs Meredith and Mrs Higgins who work in our office. They decided they would like to say ‘thank you’ to them by inviting them to the Nursery classroom and giving them a nice cup of tea and a piece of freshly baked cake, everyone certainly enjoyed themselves. We ended the week by talking about ‘Children in Need’ and how they raise money for children across the country to help them thrive and be the best they can be.

The children are loving our Forest School sessions! In between the rain we decided to tidy the garden given the wind had blown down our sunflowers. We pulled them up and then Mrs Grayson cut the flower heads off so that we could harvest the seeds to plant in Spring and to use as bird food during the Winter. We enjoyed looking the seeds and heads through magnifying glasses. What great teamwork!

The children have enjoyed learning about ‘Remembrance Day’ and why we celebrate it. The children enjoyed lots of different activities such as making poppies from loose parts, collage materials and even decoration a biscuit to look like a Poppy. The children also took part in a 2 minutes silence where they had time to think about and remember all of those who have been injured or died at war.

The children have also spent time learning about the Diwali, the children shared the story ‘Binny’s Diwali and then spent some time thinking about similarities and differences between celebrations of light we may have experienced, bonfire night, lights at Christmas. The children then spent some time making Rangoli patterns and creating a diva lamp by folding paper.

On Monday the children enjoyed another Forest school session. They took their seats and recapped on our Forest School rules. Using the story ’Christopher Pumpkin’ as a stimulus, the children worked together to collect leaves and create their very own class Pumpkin, it looked amazing and what great team work!

The children have really enjoyed our new role-play area based on the story ‘Room on the Broom’, by Julia Donaldson. The children love this story! They have enjoyed dressing up as the different characters and retelling the story in their own words. We also used different pictures from the story to create a ‘flow map’ to help us recall what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the story.

Then using the story of ‘It was a cod Dark Night’ by Tim Hopgood as a stimulus, the children were given a small ball of Mud Dough  and asked to collect natural resources such as leaves and small sticks to create their own Hedgehog, they looked fabulous.

The children then continued to explore the story more in the classroom, we talked about Hibernation and how many animals are collecting food and making homes for a big winter sleep. We also discussed different nocturnal animals such as bats and Owls.

This week we have enjoyed learning a little more about our school values and meeting our special characters that help us to remember them. The children understand that we wear our uniform to show we belong to Trinity St Peter’s family, including our churches Holy Trinity and St Peter’s. The children loved hearing about Buddy, Leo, Meta, Cuddles and Mo and are able to talk about them and what they represent in relation to the school star. Well done Nursery!

The children have also continued to learn about Harvest and enjoyed the story of ‘Farmer Duck’. They have enjoyed acting out the story with their friends and discussing how important the job of a farmer is.

In small groups, the children have enjoyed making ‘hedgehog bread’ with Grayson. They took turns to measure out the ingredients, mix it up and then kneaded the bread into their hedgehog shape. Once the dough was in shape, they made cuts with scissors for the spikes and added two raisins. We hope you have enjoyed eating the bread at home!

On Monday the children visited the Forest school site behind the church in the grounds of St Peter’s Church. They took their seats in the ‘Fire Circle’ and talked about the different rules and routines. The children learnt how to leave the fire circle safely and move around it without walking across the fire. They also took part in a game called 1,2,3 where are you. Maybe you could play this game at home?

The children began the week by finding the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’, they enjoyed listening to this and then through the week the children have acted out the story in our role-play area. The children were excited to discover that on Friday the Little Red Hen left them a variety of different bread to taste with honey and jam. The children enjoyed this tasty treat as a snack and wanted more!!!!!!! We have also enjoyed looking at different types of vegetables and using these to print with to create brilliant pictures.

On Thursday, we were visited by ‘Out line Arts’ who came to work with the children in preparation for our Circus day in a couple of weeks. The children enjoyed taking part in ‘popcorn’ craft. Their pictures were amazing and we can’t wait for you to see them displayed. Thank you to all involved and those who helped.

On Friday, we celebrated ‘Dot Day’ and the children looked amazing wearing their spotty clothes! They enjoyed making their own mark using a variety of different media for example paint, crayons, chalk and pencils and were very proud to display it in our very own art gallery. The children also took part in lots of spotty activities including hunt the spot and playing with the parachute. They even took part in singing ‘The Dot’ song and having a try at copying the actions.

 A poster containing 100 recommended reads for Nursery children has been attached to this blog. By providing 100 quality texts at an age appropriate level, this list may be useful when choosing your child's next book. We hope it inspires the children to continue on in their reading journeys whilst further encouraging a lifelong love of books and stories.

We hope you have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Mrs Molloy, Mrs Bevin and the Reception team
