We have had such a brilliant time in Nursery this week!

On Monday, we had a very exciting visitor called Nicola who works at Knowsley Safari Park. She came to tell Nursery a story about a Bush dog that lives in the rainforest. Unfortunately, the rainforest is being destroyed by humans who have been chopping the trees down. We learnt that if we look for the friendly ‘frog logo’ when buying treats, we know that it has been made in a good way. Thank you so much Nicola!

This week we have continued our theme of ‘Winter’ and went on a winter hunt in our outdoor area. The children were challenged to find lots of signs of winter such as frost, bare trees, pine cones and wooly hats. Great teamwork everyone!

The children have learnt all about penguins this week. We found out where they were from, what kind of environment they live in, and what they like to eat. META brought her friend, Percy the penguin to Nursery, and asked if we think that it would be better to keep Percy as a pet in Nursery, or help him get back to Antarctica. The children came up reasons, for and against, having Percy as a pet. After a discussion, we decided that Percy would be much better going back home. We even got to make our own banana and chocolate penguin to take home!

In Forest school, we recalled our rules when in the forest and our signal to come back to the fire circle. We worked in two teams and collected lots of natural materials from our environment and made flour penguins. We enjoyed looking at eachother's penguins, and comparing what we had made. 

We hope you have a lovely weekend and see you all next week!
