World Ocean Day

Thank you for making such a wonderful effort for World Ocean Day. The children have loved being dressed up together and enjoyed dancing to ocean themed music.

See you tomorrow

Nursery Sports Day

Thank you to everyone who joined us for sports day this morning. It was a huge success and the children absolutely fantastic and celebrated with biscuits and milk afterwards.

Beautiful work outdoors in Nursery

We’ve had a lovely afternoon exploring colour and movement using paints, cars and water. The mud kitchen is always a popular place to be. Marco and his friends have been making a “pasta bake for Mrs Hay’s tea!” Yum! I can’t wait to eat it!

EYFS World Ocean Day Wednesday 12th June

On Wednesday 12th June Nursery and Reception children will be celebrating World Ocean Day. We will be having a day filled with ocean themed activities and ask for your child to come dressed in something blue or dress as an under the sea creature.

Please do not feel pressured to buy anything new – anything blue will do!

Many thanks for your support in what we hope will be an excellent day for our children.

Nursery holiday photos needed

Hello!

Next week we will be talking about where we have travelled and enjoyed a holiday. Please can each child bring in one holiday photograph, it can include family members, friends or just be of a lovely view. Please talk to you child about the photograph prior to bringing it to Nursery – it would be amazing if they could talk about their experiences and lovely memories. We will then display the photos in Nursery until the end of the Summer term.

Many thanks in advance for your support in your child’s learning.

Thinking about keeping our oceans clean

This afternoon the children were exploring sea life toys and recycling in the water tray. They were shocked and surprised to see and hear how animals are affected by this.

Following this the children investigated the water independently and talked to their peers about what they found.

Mason said “They got stuck in the rubbish”

Paighton said “They’ll get sick”

Louie said “The animals will not get through”

Kristoff said “it’s stuck, can’t swim”

Elodie said “the animals could swallow it, you should put it in the bin”

It was wonderful to hear such thoughtful comments from our Nursery children.
