Alfie’s family likes the photos of him growing cress and then using it for his snack:
“Lovely photo. Well done alfie 😀 “
He’s doing well using those scissors there to cut his cress. We love these photos too. I wonder if the children will eat cress at home?
As part of their learning about growing, the children in the Sunshine Room planted cress recently and were very excited to watch it grow. It was even better when they were able to use their cress as part of their snack preparation. Nothing tastes better than something you have grown yourself.
We thought that we would share some happy photos of the children chasing bubbles. They loved it when the bubble machine was set up and had such a fun happy afternoon in the sun.
We would like to remind you that we will be at Farmer’s Den tomorrow, Monday 18th June, for our Nursery sessions.
Please meet us at Farmer’s Den at the usual times between 8.45 and 9.10. We ask that morning parents/carers collect the children at 11.45. Afternoon children should arrive at 12.15 and can be collected between 3.00 and 3.15. Snack will be provided thanks to the generosity of Hecklegirth Friends who have also paid for each child’s session. We look forward to seeing you there.
Our “Word of the Week” for this week is graduation as we prepare the children for our end of year celebration.
Making dens develops teamwork, communication and problem solving skills as well as being lots of fun, with the children able to test out their planning and learn from their mistakes when they use their den.
As we reach the end of the year, it is evident that our children have learned so much from developing these skills both indoors and outdoors. Here is an example of their work which was totally led and organised by the children with no adult intervention. They were so proud of their efforts and spent such a long time playing in their den, changing and developing it as different children joined in the play.
Creativity and imagination are central to the play of our children and we just loved the way this little group created their own picnic table from resources they found outdoors. They worked well as a team, talked about what they needed and then produced some wonderful, imaginative role play for such a long time, making drinks and a variety of different foods as part of their play.
Congratulations to our most recent award winner. We are all very proud of you.
We love going for P.E. with Mrs. Foster, our P.E. teacher, and she enjoys having the Nursery as part of her school sessions. Usually we do all our learning in the school hall but recently Mrs. Foster has been taking us out into the sunshine to develop our skills which has been a lovely change. Here is one of our sessions where the children are learning to jump and to control a hoop in different ways – what a great fun learning experience!
We cannot believe how lucky we have been with the weather for the last few weeks and so many of the children have been taking advantage of the sunshine to play outdoors for much of the session. Here are a few taking a welcome break from their busy play with a refreshing ice lolly. You can’t beat a nice cool treat on a hot summer’s day.
