The children have been trying new things today just like Kevin in ‘The Koala who could’. We enjoyed reading the story about trying things that might scare us and feel new. The children then practised walking with a lunch tray like they will need to do when getting their lunch in Reception. We also looked at our new transition book all about the Reception teachers, people who can help us and our new learning environments. We then each said a message that we want to say to Mrs Jones and Mrs Wallace. Mrs Hay wrote them down to send up to Reception on Wednesday. It’s been a lovely but my goodness, we are all going to miss this wonderful bunch of children!

Now we have finished our expedition learning, this week we have focused on ‘children’s choice’. The Nursery children asked for a doctors, a beauty salon and ice creams. They are thoroughly enjoying role playing with the resources, crafting as always is a big hit as is the sand and interactive board. It’s wonderful to see so many happy, busy and creative children today.

Yesterday, the children enjoyed a visit from a live band all the way Germany. They played Billie Jean, I got this feeling and Skyfall. The children loved looking at the vast range of instruments and clapping along to the beat. What a wonderful experience for our youngest children to enjoy.

Mr Ridgeway, Mr Bettson and Miss Kennedy taught Nursery this afternoon. They taught the children our phonics song, practised our numbers and practised our colours. The teachers were so excellent at the role, I think I might put my feet up and have a rest tomorrow!

…Only kidding – See you bright and early in fancy dress for our day of fun and dancing!
