The children returning to nursery have been very kind and considerate as they welcome and help support their new friends learn all about nursery and the routines.

Whilst exploring the nursery garden the children were delighted to find a bumper crop of plums! We picked the crop together learning which plums were ripe and ready to eat and recognising the fruit that was ‘bad’ and needed recycled. Great job!

Samuel enjoyed tasting a plum. “It is yummy delicious.”

Our plum harvest was excellent this year. We had fresh plums for snack, took some home to share with our families and baked plum crumble for snack.

We are developing our  literacy,  numeracy and knowledge of health and wellbeing as we experience baking activities in the nursery.

Using scales to measure the ingredients and number recognition as we match the numbers on the scales to the recipe.

Developing fine motor skills as we learn to control the knife and discuss being safe in the kitchen.

We enjoy sharing the snack together. We improve our literacy and social skills as we take turns to talk and describe our favourite foods  sharing what we like to make at home with our families.
