Last week the children enjoyed reading our expedition story ‘Dogger’ by Shirley Hughes. The children used play dough to create the main character ‘Dogger’, we practised our cutting/ scissor skills, mark made in shaving foam (this was a really fun way to write!) and we sang nursery rhymes and played parachute games. What a fun week we had!
Food safety advice for children age 5 and under – When sending your child with a packed lunch, please cut small round foods, like grapes, strawberries and cherry tomatoes, lengthways and into quarters. Cut large fruits like melon, and hard fruit or vegetables like raw apple and carrot into slices instead of small chunks.
Many thanks for your support.

This week in phonics Nursery will be singing the nursery rhyme ‘Old McDonald’ and listening for animal sounds to match to the farm animal.
Listening games will be the focus for next few weeks before we begin phase 2 phonics sounds.
Today in nursery the children talked to each other about who is special to them. The children thought about why people are special and the kind things that family and friends do for us. We talked about how we can show thanks and we made thank you cards for our special people! A shout out to all the adults who love our smallest children!
Today the nursery children had a wonderful day exploring phonics and expedition! the children had fun learning the rhyme of ‘Little Miss Muffet’ making spiders and listening for rhyming words. The children listened to the story of The Rainbow Fish and thought about how they are a kind friend. Here are some pictures of our beautiful work and our beautiful Crew!
