Good morning everyone!
At nursery, we know how much you love learning about spring and what happens to various creatures at this time of year.
I have attracted a spring home learning booklet to give the grown ups some ideas about the kind of things you could be doing at home. You can view it by clicking on the link below.
Happy weekend boys and girls! 😊

| Hello everyone! The next time you are out on a walk, make sure you are on the lookout for numbers. There are numbers everywhere! I bet you will be able to spot lots of them! Here are a few ideas to incorporate number concepts into a walk in the local area:
15. If you are going to the shops, look out for special deals eg. £1. See if you can count how many objects are in your basket, etc. Most importantly, have fun! 😊

One of our Nursery favourites. I remember reading this to some of the nursery boys and girls just before the holidays.
We are missing everyone. Stay safe💜💛
Good morning everyone!
Here is another little idea that you can try at home. The next time you’re going on a walk with your grown up, take a carrier bag with you and see if you can collect some different items, like wild flowers, twigs, pine cones small stones and anything else that you think is interesting.
Take them home and get a grown up to help you to put them into ice cube trays, or just Tupperware dishes. Pop them in the freezer and leave until frozen solid. Once they are frozen, empty them out into a basin and have fun exploring! See if you can guess how long it will take to melt completely. Using warm water and/or salt will speed up the melting process.
Have fun! ☺️
I found another fab scavenger hunt that you can do at home with a grown up. This one is a sensory one, which means you have to use your senses of smell, touch, sight, sound and taste to help you to complete it.
Good luck! ☺️

Hello everyone!
I hope you’ve managed to enjoy some restful time at home together over the Easter holidays.
I know how much you guys love to play “I spy…” so I have found a Spring Scavenging hunt for you to do next time you are out on a walk. If you are lucky enough to have a garden, you might be able to spot some of these things there too.
Grown ups…. The link is below if you want to print it out, or you can just take a photo on your phone.
Happy Hunting guys! ☺️

A link to a little singalong of favourite nursery rhymes🥰
In nursery we are always singing. Sometimes we sing along to the radio, sometimes we sing nursery rhymes and sometimes we discover an amazing song on Youtube which soon becomes our most played song. In the 2’s our most requested song has been the Transportation song by Singing Walrus. I have played this song many times whilst being on lockdown as it brings a smile to my face as I picture all the children happy, singing and joining in with the actions. Songs and music have a powerful way of helping us remember people, places and feelings. So today I am going to play this song again and remember all my boys and girls as I dance crazy round the kitchen. Maybe you can ask an adult to play this song or a song that reminds you of your friends at nursery and just take a moment to talk about our friends and think about all the fun times we will have when we’re back together.
Follow the link for the singing walrus song:
Whilst we are stuck indoors it is a good time to practice our cooking and baking skills. In nursery we have carried out lots of cooking activities, pancakes, clootie dumplings and biscuit decorating. Making a sweet treat to cheer ourselves up needn’t be difficult. You can start off easy by making simple rice krispie cakes which can involve just 2 ingredients: rice krispies and melted chocolate. Add mini marshmallows or even raisins to make them fancy. Our you can try a mug cake, so easy that my daughter has made one nearly every night for her pudding!!
Ingredients
All these ingredients are added into a microwaveable mug and mixed well together. After mixing you pop in the microwave for 2 minutes. Boom you have a delicious chocolate mug cake. Enjoy.😊
Cooking together encourages language, communication, turn taking. As we follow the recipe we are developing our numeracy skills and building on our vocabulary. The best bit is we are having fun. Hope to see some pictures of your mug cakes or any other cooking activities you all do together as a family.
