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…
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!
Nursery Family Learning will be held on Wednesday 30th April 8.30am – 9.30am in the form of a ‘book and a biscuit’ event. We will also be hosting a used toy and book sale to raise money for EYFS funds and our expedition projects. Please bring loose change. All books and toys will be priced between 50p – £5. We have had some wonderful donations so be sure to grab a bargain!
We hope you can make it to spend some quality reading time with your child.

We have embraced the sunshine this afternoon and enjoyed playing outside. Lots of wonderful collaborative work, helping each other, sharing resources and building friendships.
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!
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!
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!

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.
