We love playing with water outside in the sunny weather. To keep the children safe can all parents please apply water resistant sun cream before attending nursery. Please ensure each child wears a sun hat and has spare clothing in nursery at all times.

Collection takes place from 11.20 - 11.30am and 3.05 - 3.15pm. Please contact the school office if you are late or someone else is collecting. After these times children will be taken to the school library and collection will be from the main school office. 

The nursery team politely remind parents please do not send children into nursery with toys from home. We have a fun selection of resources for the children to play with.

This weeks focus topic: 

This weeks focus story has been Commotion in the Ocean. The children have enjoyed learning about different mammals which live in the Ocean. Please click the link if you wish to watch the story at home with your Children: Commotion in the Ocean

The children have continued their learning about under the sea. We have used our rice play to support our math's and science learning on numbers and shapes, space and measure. 

Vienna counted how many handfuls it took to fill her cup, Patrick scooped rice in his hand to fill his cup, whilst Harley-jean used the small scoop to fill her cup. The children then discussed the number of times they scooped to fill their cups.

Little chefs 

This week the children have been working hard at the snack table making Strawberry ice lollies. We chopped, crushed, mixed and poured our ingredients into moulds, then learnt how fluids change from liquid to solids when frozen, as we put our ingredients in the freezer. 

The children loved making and tasting their strawberry ice lollies. To ensure all children could take a turn we used milk substitutes for those unable to consume dairy products.

Ten Town Focus 

This week the children have been learning about Thelma five from ten town. We have practiced forming our number 5 formation and our number bonds to 5.

The children have been practicing our numbers counting a variety of objects during play. Some children are now able to subitise (the ability to look at a small number of objects and instantly recognise how many objects there are without needing to count).

Our turn taking steps

We have all been practicing our turn taking

Special mentions to Leonor for bringing in her very big runner bean which she has continued growing at home and to Oscar for using the alphabet resources to independently spell his name. Emir M, Mariam and Afrahim worked very hard to create and extend their ideas using the construction.

Well done everyone for all your hard work.

We have had lots of out door fun this week playing in the water area with our car wash, being resourceful creating games with our toys and having super fun watch the builders user exciting machinery like the excavator.  

We have been working hard to stay cool and refreshed at nursery, taking turns to make sure we stay hydrated.

The children have enjoyed caring for our strawberry plants. This week some of our strawberries were ready to eat. A few helpers carefully picked their strawberries, washed and tasted them. The children spoke about the difference in taste from our shop bought strawberries we had used for our snack activity and our nursery grown strawberries.
