Our topic focused learning

This week the children have been learning about animals who live in the jungle. We listened to stories involving jungle animals; including, monkeys, tigers, elephants and giraffes. The children have enjoyed sharing their knowledge about each jungle animal and show off the information they remembered from previous topics. 

The children enjoyed making valentines postcards for one another this week. They especially love using glitter!







“Mummy has cards already! It was her birthday. She doesn’t need any more cards” said Henry when asked if he would like to make a valentines card.

The children have had lots of fun this week helping to refill the mud in the mud kitchen, using wheelbarrows, spades and other tools to accomplish their goals.

Key Information

Please LABEL  all your children's belongings, including both shoes. Please do not send your child in with a school bag as we have very limited space and all spare clothing should be stored in the nursery. Please do not send your child in with water bottles as we have cups stored in the nursery. Most importantly please do not allow children to bring toys from home into the nursery as they may get lost, cause conflict with other children or become a dangerous hazard. All resources in the nursery are risk assessed and age appropriate to maintain the children's safety.
