On Monday 25th April the morning children visited Millbank Primary School as part of our transition and used the hall to play some games, had snack at the school dinner tables and finished off with a story before home time. We had a great time and can’t wait until next time when hopefully we’ll be getting outside into the playground aswell!

On Thursday 21st April we were very lucky to have a French Speaking  Assistant visit the nursery in the morning  to speak a little basic French with the children. They thoroughly enjoyed this experience and by the end of the short session were attempting some numbers, saying hello and goodbye, saying “my name is . . . “, and some colours. As a result of this the children agreed they would like to learn a bit more French and listen to some some songs. The following week we had “snail sandwiches” for snack (cream cheese sandwiches rolled into snail shapes), and we listened to some counting and traditional songs on the computer, and also listened to, and tried to sing along with, some nursery rhymes translated into French. We are hoping to do some more of that over the next few weeks.

We had a couple of fantastic visits to tesco in the first week back after the Easter Holidays. We got a behind the scenes visit, the morning children particularly enjoyed being in the freezer, a story about health eating, a fruit and veg treasure hunt and fruit tasting, which the children, parents and staff were all game for! Thanks to Sam and her colleagues for giving us a great visit, we will definitely be returning!
