Next week...


Exciting news! 

Next week, Mrs Long is bringing her tortoises in to Nursery. The children will learn all about taking care of them and they will have the opportunity to touch them and ask any questions they may have. 



Just a few photos from our fun making pizza...





Thursday 5 March 2015

We are now in the second half of the spring term.

This term we have been following the children's interests, which lead us to reading 'The Gingerbread Man'. The children then loved making gingerbread men in nursery! Following this, we seem to have had a food based theme.
Today (04.03.15), Tesco came in to visit us as part of their Farm to Fork initiative. The children learnt all about making different types of  bread and also got to taste some! Tesco have left us with some bread dough which the children have been told will keep rising - we took a photo before so that we can compare it to the 'after' shot. Tesco also made pizzas with us! The children had several topping choices and made all of the pizza themselves including putting the sauce on the based and the cheese. We can't tell you how much the children loved doing it - and so did we! Furthermore, the lovely ladies from Tesco commented on how well behaved, well mannered and generally lovely the children were.

This term we will continue to follow the children's interests, by having themed weeks, incorporating them into our enhanced planning or in many other creative ways! 

PE is still on a Friday. Last term we did gymnastics, this term we have progressed to Ball Skills. The children will be keeping their shoes on so please wear trainers/plimsoles.

Please remember, the children go outside in ALL weathers - they must bring appropriate clothing. 

Many thanks for your continued support,
The Nursery Team
