Fun Halloween Activities !
This years Halloween celebration was another great success with the children in the nursery enjoying participating in a range of activities. They learnt silly songs and rhymes and they did a great job decorating bats and making ” footprints” to produce spooky ghosts ! The children had the opportunity to dress up if they wished to join their friends at the party. Everyone had a fantastic time dancing , playing games and “dooking for apples”.
Drama Time !
The children in the nursery had so much fun using the dressing up clothes to take on the role of the characters from ” Little Red Riding Hood” to dramatise and re-tell the story without using the book. The teachers were so impressed at how well the children could remember all the words from the story ! Great work everyone !
The Big Bad Wolf !
The boys and girls in the nursery did a fantastic job making the furry character from the book topic ” Little Red Riding Hood ” . He stands very proudly in the nursery corridor for all the children , parents and carers to see .

Well done boys and girls !! 
Being Little Detectives
This week in the nursery the boys and girls were being little “Detectives” and were encouraged to approach their friends and teachers to find out if ” Anyone had seen the Big Bad Wolf ? / Where was he / What did he look like ?” . They have been developing their mark making and writing skills by recording everyones response. The children were then able to make lovely detailed drawings of the sneaky fella !!
