Over the last few weeks the children have been exploring the letters of the alphabet, mark making and practising writing their names. They came up with all sorts of different ways that they would like to learn, from using magnetic letters to writing upside down! The children love mark making with lots of different materials and many of them can now write their first names, with some children now working on their surnames.
In the mathematics and numeracy area, the children have been exploring symmetry in nature and in the environment around them. They have been having a go at creating their own symmetrical pictures. What do you think? Great job boys and girls! 👍

Spring Poem
In the nursery this week we have been talking about the signs of Spring that we can see around us. Some of the girls helped to write a poem about Spring to explain what they love about this season.
Spring
I love Spring. I love the flowers. They look beautiful. They smell nice.
I love Spring. The baby chicks are born. They are yellow. They feel like fluff.
I love Spring. The leaves come back on the trees. The birds sit in the tree and say ‘Tweet tweet’.
