  The children had a fantastic time at our annual Beach party! The nursery garden was transformed into a fun filled seaside adventure, with lots of opportunities for laughter, exploration and play.

• Pom poms, Paint &Dinosaurs!

  

  This week the children have been interested in making pompom jewellery. They have been extending their fine motor skills to wrap the wool around the pom pom maker. The children have been engaged for an extended period of time and had the option to create small pom poms or larger pom poms. They have shown patience while waiting for their turn and have used a waiting list to add their name to so they know who is next to make one.    The children have been sharing the resources and have played alongside each other to create large scale artwork.

The children recently explored early coding and storytelling through the use of Intelino smart train tiles. This hands-on experience allowed them to investigate how different coloured tiles influenced the train’s movement, supporting their understanding of sequencing, cause and

• That’s a wrap!!

  What a blast this last week has been—and what an incredible year it’s been overall! From the very beginning, our classroom has been filled with curiosity, laughter and a real love of learning. This week, we ended the year in the best way possible—with our very own Taskmaster! This was the ultimate test of all the meta-skills we’ve been developing throughout the year, from problem-solving and creativity to communication and collaboration. The classroom was full of energy as pupils took on each challenge with enthusiasm, determination and plenty of humour. It was fantastic to see everyone working together, supporting one
