Nursery – Tree clay faces

25th March 2025Elizabeth Hay

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

25th March 2025Elizabeth Hay

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

19th March 2025Amanda Wallace

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!
