St Bartholomew's Nursery

We have been sorting ourselves into groups this week in nursery. To do this, we followed ‘The Sorting Path’ all the way to a noticeboard. On the noticeboard was a rule. If we followed this rule, we sat on the ‘yes’ mat. If we didn’t, we sat on the ‘no’ mat. This meant that we had sorted ourselves into groups!

Well done everyone!

We are really proud of this talented boy who won this great trophy when he was Player of the Week for his football team. Well done!

What a star!

What a surprise we had this week! Our very hungry caterpillars have eaten enough to reach the next stage of their life cycle. They have all built their own little cocoons and are now beginning to change again. We have been learning that after two weeks they will emerge as butterflies! We can’t wait to see!

In nursery, we have been learning all about sorting. We have been putting items into groups and following rules when we do so. This week, we have looked to sort our teddy bears into groups according to their colour. Have a look at our hard work!

We searched through the sand

If we found a teddy bear that did not match the colour of our bowl, we put it back in the sand

We had to make sure that the colour of the teddy bears matched the colours of our bowl!

We’ve only had our caterpillars for a week but already they’ve doubled in size. Like the Very Hungry Caterpillar they spend all their time eating, and eating and eating! If we look at them with the magnifying glass, we can see there little feet and we can see their jaws constantly munching. They are also starting to spin some silvery threads so we don’t think it will be too long before they start to build their cocoons.

Today we went on a lovely  walk to find any signs of spring. We stopped to listen to the birds singing and everyone agreed that it’s beginning to feel a little warmer in the sunshine. Lots of the plants and trees we spotted are showing signs that they are starting to grow again after a long cold winter.

Our parents and carers have all had a chance to vote for where we could go for our summer trip. The result was unanimous….Wellfield Farm. We will all be going on this wonderful trip on Wednesday 18th of May.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been helping us to learn to write from left to right on the page. We have been having fun following his trails to reach some tasty food to munch.
