This week, our young learners have been busy developing their curiosity and understanding of the world through a wide range of playful and purposeful experiences. Outdoors, the children became safety assessors, carefully exploring their play areas to spot potential hazards. They discussed how to make the environment safe for everyone and recorded their findings through mark making, linking literacy with real-life risk assessments and growing as responsible citizens and effective contributors.

Across the nursery, discussions have focused on the wonders of the sky. Children have been learning about the difference between day and night, sharing their thoughts about the sun, moon, and stars, and deepening their understanding of how the world around us changes. This month, our focus has been ACHIEVING. Children have enjoyed walks around the school campus, meeting staff members—including our senior leadership team—and learning their names. These experiences are helping them build confidence beyond the nursery environment and develop a strong sense of belonging within our school community.

Our role-play areas have been alive with creativity. Learners visited their “local shop,” using coins to buy ingredients before preparing imaginative recipes back in the kitchen. This engaging play supported numeracy skills such as counting and money handling, while also encouraging rich communication and collaboration.

We were delighted to welcome back Hannah, who introduced us to her beautiful baby girl, Connie. The children were thrilled to meet baby Connie and showed curiosity and kindness as they talked about families and how we care for those who are special to us. Congratulations to Hannah and her family on their wonderful new arrival!
