OUR WEEKLY LEARNING

Summer Term Topic

Journeys

We are just starting our new topic all about journeys and holidays.  We will be starting with our focus book 'Mr Gumpy's Motorcar'

Please check back soon for some photos of our learning.  In the meantime, please look at the photos below of our previous topic. 

We have planted beans for Jack's beanstalk and talked about what plants need to be able to grow.

We also learned about colour mixing and used blue and yellow to make green for our beanstalk pictures.  We then drew a castle for the top!

We also had a problem when our troll went missing and the Billy Goats Gruff don't know where he has gone.  We made a class 'missing' poster and some of the children made one at home too!

Comic Relief- We Are Super!

Friends Reunited!

Welcome Back to Nursery!

The Nursery Team are so excited to welcome you all back to nursery together on Monday! Please see the letter below. During the first week or two, we will be concentrating on settling everyone back in and making sure we all feel happy, safe and secure!

World Book Day !

Here is a gallery of photos including a mixture of work from our learners both in school and at home. Haven't you done a fantastic job with your superhero costumes and reading dens?!

We are PROUD of you!

Welcome to Spring 2!

We have been learning in a very unusual way for quite some time now and we are so PROUD of you and your families. The nursery team are missing those of you at home very much and we are looking forward to seeing you all together again in the not too distant future (everything crossed!). For now, here is a little picture clue for what we will be learning about in the coming weeks...

New Year Spring Term 2021

We look forward to welcoming you back to nursery in the new year. We have lots of exciting things planned for our next topic. Can you guess what we will be learning about?

We have had such a lovely morning in nursery today. The children looked fabulous in their Christmas jumpers and we had great fun dancing and enjoying party games and treats!

Advent Stars

This week we have been busy making our Advent Stars ready to countdown to Christmas. Each day we will sing our special song and turn over the stars. If it is your star day you can choose a nice treat! We have also enjoyed decorating our Christmas tree!

World Nursery Rhyme Week
