Our boat launch is planned for Wednesday 5th June, at 11.10am.\u00a0 We were thinking that we might be fun to make it a really special event , by holding a teddy bear’s picnic afterwards, where you are welcome to come along with your picnic lunch and have it in the garden.\u00a0 We’ve got special teddy bear events planned and some fun and games to take part in.\u00a0 If your child does not normally attend on a Wednesday, or if they attend in the afternoon, you are still welcome to join us for the party.<\/p>\n
We have been looking at fund raising activities for nursery funds and have found a really nice tea towel idea.\u00a0 Every child in the nursery draws themselves and their drawings are transferred onto good quality, linen tea towels for us to sell to parents, grandparents etc.\u00a0 The cost of these would be \u00a36 each.\u00a0 Before we go ahead with this, we would really welcome your opinions about whether you would buy one or not.\u00a0 This would give us an idea of how many we should order.\u00a0 We’ll put out a Yes\/No form in the nursery hall and would be really grateful if you would tick it for us.\u00a0 We will only go ahead with this if we get enough orders.\u00a0 Many thanks! Here is the sample towel – our pictures would be bigger as there are less children in the nursery than in the school on the sample.<\/p>\n This week in nursery we are very busy looking at lifecycles.\u00a0 We have been watching our frog spawn develop and our tadpoles have back legs!\u00a0 We also found 3 little froglets – maybe last years tadpoles grown up – under a log in the garden.\u00a0 There has also been great interest in caterpillars – Flynn found a big green caterpillar in the garden and we followed this up by reading Eric Carle’s book – The Hungry Caterpillar.\u00a0 The children have really enjoyed making a big caterpillar for the wall and discussing all the different foods he devoured in the course of the story.\u00a0 They even made a cocoon out of papier mache, which is taking a very long time to dry!!!!\u00a0 We have been making symmetrical butterflies and looking for real butterflies in the garden and orchard.\u00a0 We have ordered some tiny caterpillars which we can watch growing into Painted Lady Butterflies in nursery, and then release into our butterfly garden in the orchard.<\/p>\n We made a very hungry caterpillar for our snack area<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The weather has got warmer over the weekend – we have been doing lots of planting so we are hoping the lovely sunshine will encourage our wee seedlings to grow.\u00a0 With the sun, comes the need for sunscreen.\u00a0 Please could … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
