XP Outdoors in Nursery
On Monday, Mr Kershaw came for some XP Outdoors fun with the children. He made the most of the fine weather and played ‘What time is it Mr Wolf?’, ‘Duck, Duck, Goose’, ‘hide and seek’, T-Rex hunt and reenacted the story of ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. The Nursery children had so much fun and can’t wait for some more time with Mr Kershaw next Monday!
A happy week so far in Nursery!
What a gorgeous start back in Nursery this week kick starting the Summer Term with some wonderful collaborative play, potato printing, dressing up, story reading, hot cross bun tasting, reading and talking about the Easter story and so much more…
Easter Next baking in Nursery
The children loved making Easter nest buns yesterday. We talked about the ingredients we used and how they changed from being a solid to a liquid during the melting process. The children chose their own bun case and mini egg colour to make them unique to them. I hope everyone enjoyed eating them. They looked and smelt delicious!

Embracing the sunshine in Nursery
We have embraced the sunshine this afternoon and enjoyed playing outside. Lots of wonderful collaborative work, helping each other, sharing resources and building friendships.
Nursery – Tree clay faces
The children enjoyed creating tree clay faces using natural objects found in the garden today. Poppy from KS2 also joined us and loved it too. The children used their hand muscles to roll, squash, squeeze and pinch to manipulate the clay for their desired shape. We talked about emotions and how we could make a happy, excited, sad, OK and worried face. It was great fun and I was so proud of the children’s perseverance when trying to get their clay face to stick to the tree trunk.
Beautiful work Nursery Crew and Poppy!
Nursery – Capacity work
The children are looking at capacity in maths this week. They have been using key vocabulary ‘full, half full, empty, nearly full and nearly empty’ to describe the volume of a container. The children have enjoyed exploring capacity in the water tray, sand tray and craft area by collaging jars to represent capacity.
Well done for your hard work Nursery Crew! You are all Motiviated Moes!
Reception POL
We had an awesome Presentation of Learning for our Expedition How do things grow and change?
The children presented what we had learned in each Case study, we sang some songs related to ouir learning and then we planted our bulbs in the pots that we had designed and painted.
The chicks that we have been looking after for Case Study 3 and Science week were the stars of the show with the children and grown ups having a hold and a cuddle.
Thanks so much to everyone who managed to join us this afternoon, the children are so proud of their learning and they loved sharing with you.
We are so proud of all the children in Reception, well done everyone!

Reception Science Week.
Louie has been a super scientist at home this weekend and has done an experiment with his grown ups. They were looking at different volcanoes and it was so much fun!
Well done Louie, I love that you have been continuing you learning at home.
Keep up the great work.
