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.
Our little super stars! We’re so proud of them all!
A very lovely afternoon spent with Mr Kershaw for our XP Outdoors session. The children learnt about fire safety, how to keep a fire burning and how to make a pizza using tortilla wraps, tomato and herb sauce and cheese. The children then cooked them with care on the fire and enjoyed eating them once they were all oozy and warm. What a delicious treat for a Monday afternoon!
A huge shout out to all of the Nursery children for their excellent listening skills and awareness of the danger of fire which meant we could have an exciting experience safely.
Last week in Nursery the children were learning how to add using concrete objects. The children started to recognise the symbols + and = . They began reading number sentences and talking about amounts and knowing that when we add the number will always get bigger. The children worked so hard and the grown ups were so impressed with how confident the children quickly became in adding two amounts.
Last Wednesday we had a lovely day filled with explorative play – building, trains, role play baking, taking care of babies and celebrating birthdays together.
We are delighted to invite you to our EYFS Presentation of Learning for the Nursery children, taking place on Wednesday 25th June from 1.15 – 2pm.
During this special event, the children will showcase their learning journey from our Expedition, “Once Upon a Time,” as they explore the Guiding Question: “Who is hiding in the pages of our book?” To celebrate their learning, we will be hosting a Cinderella-inspired Ball as part of the presentation.
In preparation, the children have been designing and creating their own tickets for the Ball. We kindly ask for a £5 donation per ticket, to be paid via ParentPay, which includes entry for the child, two accompanying adults, refreshments and the product that they have helped to make this term which they can then take home with them.
The Ball promises to be a magical occasion, featuring a red carpet entrance, a ballroom dance performance, photo booth opportunities, refreshments, and perhaps even a surprise guest appearance! It will be a joyful and memorable way to mark the end of the Summer term.
We very much look forward to seeing you there and celebrating the children’s achievements together.
Warm regards,
Mrs Burton & Mrs Hay
