The children have enjoyed listening to the story of The Rainbow Fish this week which inspired us to create our own rainbow fish using blue play dough, glitter and sequins to represent his glimmering scales. The children have been talking about how we can be a kind friend and have practised sharing just like the Rainbow Fish did at the end of the story.
The children worked so hard yesterday to collect grass, leaves, sticks and wood to build our new bug hotel.
The children had so much fun exploring the nursery garden to find mini beasts to be our new residents. We found worms, wood lice, ladybirds and worms.
Our immersion is off with a bang in Nursery for our expedition ‘What happens when the sea meets the shore?’ The children have worked really hard with the grown ups to make Nursery a beautiful place to be which will inspire our learning.
Next week, the nursery children are going to be building a bug hotel. We would love it if you would be able to bring in any pieces if wood, sticks, leaves, branches and wooden pallets so we can build a wonderful bug hotel.
Many thanks for your support.

Shiver-me-timbers! These cheeky pirates have been causing trouble in Nursery! They are WANTED! 10 Howl point reward for anyone who can find them!
The children this week have been busy planting beetroot and sunflowers. We are going to care for the plants and watch them grow through the summer term.
This week we have been immersing our nursery for our Summer expedition ‘What happens when the sea meets the shore?’ We have been crafting jelly fish, seaweed, sand, coral reefs and underpants inspired by our hook story ‘Pirates love underpants’. We have an ice cream parlour and Pirate shack for the children to enjoy. Take a look…
Today the children enjoyed trying hot cross buns during snack time. Some children loved them, others were not so keen but we’re willing to try. We looked at the complete hot cross bun and talk about the cross symbolising Jesus in the Christian faith at Easter time. We used our senses to smell, feel, look and taste the hot cross buns. A big well done for being Can do Colin’s and trying something new Nursery Crew!

This week and last we are enjoying our Easter Slice. Take a look at all of the exciting Spring themed activities we have been up to so far… Spring flower perfume making, butterfly stamping, Spring garden painting, and challenging ourselves using clay rather than play dough to roll, push, nip and press our own Easter eggs. Well done Nursery Crew! You are working so hard during our Easter Slice and all of the grown ups are so proud of you!
The children had so much fun last Wednesday playing parachute games with Mrs Hardman. The children were singing songs and practising turn taking and building relationships through quality crew!
