Gingerbread Men in Nursery
This morning the children worked really hard to follow instructions and talk about the story of the Gingerbread Man. We weighed, melted, mixed, combined, rolled and cut our ingredients and dough. Well done Nursery Crew!
Nursery phonics sounds we have learnt this week…
We wonder… can you write these sounds at home? Can you say the sound they make and tell a grown up?
Exploring the story of The Gingerbread Man in Nursery this week…
The children have had so much fun so far this week exploring the story of The Gingerbread Man. They have enjoyed creating life size paintings of the Gingerbread Man by drawing around our own bodies, retelling the story by looking carefully at the story book and acting as the little old man and woman who baked the Gingerbread Man in the mud kitchen. I wonder what tomorrow will bring…
Nursery made pancakes!
As we weren’t together for pancake day, we decided we would make them today! We talked about the ingredients we needed, the consistency of the batter, we noticed that the batter is the same as Yorkshire Pudding batter and we observed what the heat did to our pancakes. Once they were cooked, we finally were able to taste them covered in golden syrup and lemon juice. Delicious!
Year 5 Blasting off into Art!
Crew Walton/Oldridge really got stuck into the first Art lesson of our Case Study…we showed great resilience, persevering to make sure our Quality and Craftsmanship was excellent!
Roaring success at YWP! 😆
Class 10 have walked for miles and seemed tried after a bus journey, but loved their day at YWP seeing so many incredible animals. We were very excited to get in and start exploring!
We then went to see the lions, but they didn’t like the early start, so off we went to see the polar bears and the warty pigs!
After that, we went to see some of the giant otters, including the baby have their breakfast, the monkeys and then walk with the wallabies!
We then finished off wandering the tigers, the leopard and the giraffes and then finally finished with a workshop on polar bears!
We even cam face to face with a terrifying polar bear!
A huge well done to Class 10 for how they behaved around YWP and a massive thank you for all of our parent volunteers – we really appreciate you coming! 🙂
Have a wonderful half term Nursery!
Well that’s a wrap for this half term. The nursery is all set up and ready for welcoming our children back on Monday 19th February. I wonder if you can tell which traditional tale we will be focusing on…
We hope you all have a wonderful half term.
