The Children in the Green Group have had a very busy start to June. At the beginning of June we celebrated the Queens Platinum Jubilee. The children took part in various experiences over the week. Some of the children used their creativity to make some royal crowns.







The children also explored coins and learned that each coin has the queens head on the back.

A child found a big green caterpillar in the nursery garden. This sparked an interest in the story of ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ The children have been enjoying lots of interesting activities relating to the story. They have been sequencing the story, sorting and matching the colours in the butterfly using their fine motor skills and learning all about the life cycle of a caterpillar and how it changes into a beautiful butterfly.

We are very lucky to have our own caterpillars in the nursery. We have been watching them get bigger every day.





From the children’s interests in the story, we went on the hunt for other bugs in the nursery garden. We decided to create our very own bug hotel. The children have been exploring the hotel each day to see if we have any new visitors. Thank you to our families for all the donations to help create our Bug Hotel!





The children have also been exploring risky play outdoors. They love to climb on the wall and are able to assess and manage their own risk.







The Preschool children have been doing lots of preparation for moving onto primary 1. They have had visits to their classrooms and met their teachers.






We have all been working super hard in preparation for our moving on celebrations. Practising our songs and actions and getting a feel for the big stage.

We have also been busy creating some decorations for the stage!

We hope you all have a wonderful summer break with your families. have fun and make lots of amazing memories to treasure! Stay safe and we will see you all in August!! Love Miss Allison
