Today we had our 8 pre schoolers and their parents out on the bikes showing them what they have learned. It was lovely to see such proud mummies!

A special well done to Piotr who only started riding his bike today by himself with no stabelisers just in time for Mum coming to see him!!!

In the nursery bubbles are always a favourite with children of all ages. Blowing them, catching them and using language such as high, low, in front, behind, over, under, to and from. The only problem is that they never last long enough. Here are recipes to make your own bubbles at home. Have fun😀

Mix together

18 fl oz water, 2 fl oz washing up liquid and 4 teaspoons sugar.

For longer lasting bubbles

6 fl oz water, 2 fl oz washing up liquid, 2 fl oz glycerine and 1 tablespoon sugar.

Today in the 2’s we went out of the nursery and onto the schools grass for a lovely picnic in the sunshine, we enjoyed yummy pancakes and juicy watermelon.

Next Tuesday we would like to invite the parents in the 2 year old room to come along and join in with Chatter Tots with your children. Chatter tots is aimed to support your child to develop their speech and language, play and communication skills. This will start at 8:45 for the AM session and 12:30 for the PM session. Hope to see you then!

Sophie, Ruby, Aurora and Olivia decided to build a car in the garden. This then got changed to a house. Lots of planning, working together and decision making followed. This involved lots of hard work, rolling tyres and carrying crates. The house was amazing. The girls then decided to chill out together. Well done.

Darcie from the afternoon is now riding her bike after following the Play on Pedals programme! Well done Darcie!😃😃

We are learning about pattern and shape. We have been using sparkly stones, pasta and kidney beans to follow the different lines. We have also been sorting the different materials into the correct tubs. Aren’t we clever?

In nursery we have been “writing” using a range of different media. We can even write in the mud outdoors or at the sand tray. Some of us can recognise our names and can copy and write them. We have been learning the first letter of our name, and looking for this in the nursery environment. We can even look for it in magazines, charts and car registration plates. Letters are everywhere.

Today at play on pedals we were learning to start off on our bikes ourselves. Some of us can already do this but we helped each other by placing our hands on the shoulders on the person riding the bike while they got their balance. We love working together as a team!

Here is Grace and Ruby both riding their pedal bikes together.

Lui has now completed Play on Pedals programme and is also riding his pedal bike with no stabelisers! Woohoo well done Lui!
