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!

The children learnt how to take safe risks today with Mr Kershaw. They carefully used the hedge shears to trim the Nursery hedge. The children showed great stewardship but also excellent listening skills and ability to follow instructions.

The hedge looks so much better. Thank you Mr Kershaw and Nursery Crew!

Today we learnt about another Learning Alien, Have a Go Henry. We talked about independence and trying something and ‘having a go’ even if it new or tricky. The Nursery children had a great time playing the get dressed game where we set the timer and they had to put as many items of school clothing on as they could. I was so impressed how well so many children could do up the zip in the coat and put woolly gloves on.

Super work Nursery Crew!

Today we introduced the story of The 3 Little Pigs for Case Study 3 of our Expedition and Literacy leaning. This afternoon we took inspiration from the story and collaborated to build a shelter. The children were excellent at recalling events and characters in the story and worked well at a team, talking about ideas and negotiating space.
