Spring is officially here and now is the time to get out in the garden and start planting. We have been learning all about how a plant starts from a seed and then grows into a flower or sometimes something yummy that we can eat. We have also been reading Jack and the Beanstalk and were amazed at the enormous beanstalk which grew from Jack’s magic beans. We have planted our own magic beans which will hopefully grow into something amazing. The children will get to take there magic bean home next week and hopefully after the holidays the children will be able to share stories about how there bean is growing. We have also made a start to planting in the nursery garden and were very excited to see that our strawberry plants have survived the stormy weather and already have flowers. Looking forward to some juicy strawberries.

Look at them go now!!!😊😊😊😊

So proud of these two girls, hard work and lots of listening and concentration skills have definitely paid off!!😊

We had a mini obstacle course in the 2’s room today. In and out and round and round.

We have been learning about numbers. We have been looking for numbers in the nursery environment indoors and out. We know that we can use our fingers to help us count. We are learning that each number represents a specific amount.

We are learning about money. We have been recognising and sorting different coins. We are beginning to understand that different coins represent different values.

Everyday in nursery we explore our outdoor environment every day.  We have been learning to put on our own coats. Sometimes the buttons and zips are a wee bit tricky, but we keep trying.😀

Today Leon and Maci were working together to count from 0-10,find each number and put them in order in a number line! They did an excellent job!

We are all learning to develop our working together skills to help us build strong positive relationships with our peers. We have worked through lots of daily experiences and been asked to help each other and work together to complete tasks given. We love working as a team!!

The nursery children have been developing some excellent obstacle courses in the nursery garden this week. They have taken complete ownership of their outdoor space. Houses, rocket ships and boats have also been constructed using the crates and tyres. Fantastic cooperative learning and teamwork😀.

Try setting up a mini obstacle course indoors using cushions, boxes and other household items or one outdoors in the garden. Some obstacle course ideas can be to jump over, zig zag around, crawl through, step over and walk along.

Your child is developing balance, coordination, flexibility and movement skills.

Enjoy😀.

Wooohooo we have another bike rider on the go all by herself! Well done Aoife Lowden I am super proud of you! 😃
