• GRAPES- If you send in grapes for your child's lunch, they must be cut in half length ways. Because of their size and shape, grapes can all too easily slide down a small child’s windpipe, blocking airflow. Thank you 

Today the children were super excited as the Easter Bunny hopped into Nursery to see all the children! The children were so happy and even went to our snack area and got him some carrots to take on his way (a very cute moment!)

Then we headed to the hall for our Easter bonnet parade. The children loved this and as well as showing off all their hard work, they also got to play some Easter games with Mrs Nicholls

At the end of the parade, Mrs Nicholls had the very hard job of picking the winners. Here are the pictures of our winners: 

Well done to Leanor and Aayush!

Congratulations to George and Eden!

Our snack this week followed our egg theme! The children made egg muffins! They really enjoyed cracking the eggs and mixing them all together, We added a bit of milk and some cheese and then they were ready to pour into the cake cases.

As you can see from the photos, they really enjoyed the results! 

The children have enjoyed learning in the outside area this week. They have been creating platforms to jump off of. These began low and as the children practised their jumps, their confidence grew and so did the height. We spoke about how to land safely by bending our knees and stretching out our arms to help us balance. 

They also turned the tree into a construction site and the diggers were involved, moving a lot of soil! 

In the art area the children created some beautiful flower inspired pictures. They were able to carefully control the paintbrushes and start to look carefully at what they could see.

After reading the story 'We are going on an egg hunt' the children worked in small groups to decipher clues and find the hidden wooden eggs! The children had to work as a team and think very carefully, the rhyming clues gave them the perfect opportunity to practice hearing rhyming words. After cracking all the clues the children were able to exchange the wooden eggs for a delicious edible bunny. 

He are some little moments of independent play that we caught...

Super mark making! The children have been using the new writing area to create their own books.

The construction area was too small for this epic train track so it took over the back of the classroom. The clever design made sure that the animals were contained so they would not escape and get hurt. 

What a cozy way to spend an afternoon. It is lovely seeing the children using their imagination like this and getting lost in the world of play.

                     

We love seeing how the children use the home area to support how they want to play. We can see Ibrahim acting out a true life experience and this type of play allows him to make sense of what he has seen.

Have a lovely Easter holiday and we look forward to seeing you all in two weeks!
