The Critter Keeper

Today we enjoyed an exotic animal and insect workshop with Dave the  Critter Keeper. He brought along amongst others Kaa the Royal Python, Kermit the Tree Frog, a gecko, a tarantula, Sonic the Hedgehog and Marshmallow the Rabbit. Dave told us all about the animals and we were allowed to look at them close up. The children were able to touch some of the animals if they were brave enough! This fantastic educational experience was enjoyed by all.

Our Nursery Sports

Today we had lots of fun taking part in our annual nursery potted sports. The theme was minibeasts and other small creatures! After our potted sports we ran some flat races and then had our snack. The staff were very proud of the children as their behaviour and keenness to do their best was excellent. Well done boys and girls! Thank you to all who came to watch and support the children!

Our butterflies

Exciting news! Over the last few weeks we have been watching our caterpillars turn into butterflies. It has been exciting to watch part of their life cycle and now it was time to release them. We watched as they were released one by one.

Minibeast hunting at the Woodies

We went on a minibeast hunt at the Woodies on Wednesday. If you look very carefully it is amazing how many different minibeasts you can see in our local area. We had fun trying to identify them! We also had our snack outdoors which was fun!

Easter Eggs

We had a great time on Wednesday hunting for eggs at the Woodies and rolling our eggs, which we had decorated ourselves, down the hill! When we arrived back at nursery we discovered a delicious surprise waiting for us! Have a great Easter break and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday 18th April. Happy Easter to you all.

Comments Off on Science Week

Science Week

We have been busy celebrating British Science Week by taking part in a variety of science experiments! We have watched a volcano erupting and planted some beans. We will watch them grow in the light and dark. We explored forces at the Woodies and used our senses playing with gloop. We investigated a chemical reaction when we played with ‘magic milk’. The children have enjoyed our science focus, it has also facilitated lots of opportunities to develop their literacy and numeracy skills.

Outdoor Learning

This week we took the opportunity to spend time in the Wildlife Garden and the playground. The children were busy playing with hoops, balls and quoits. They enjoyed mark making with chalks, water and a selection of paint brushes. We were unable to go to the Woodies as we did not have enough volunteers. If you or someone in your family is able to support us please sign up for a Woodies session. Our children enjoy the freedom of being outdoors and we therefore appreciate your help with this important part of learning in our nursery setting.

Fairy Tales at the Woodies

Today as part of our focus on reading and enjoying books we took part in an activity at the Woodies. We had to search for pancakes which were hidden all over the Woodies. Each pancake had a different fairy tale book cover on it and a number. When we found a book cover we had to match the picture and record the number on our sheet. The children enjoyed the challenge of working with a partner to find the pancakes and record their answers. Well done boys and girls!
