This week we have been exploring the UNCRC Rights of the Child, with a focus on how we show respect to others. Through daily conversations and interactions, the children have been developing their understanding of boundaries and what they mean for themselves and others. We have shared lots of ideas about being kind, listening to one another and helping our friends throughout the day.

Our nursery mascot SIMOA the purple elephant has also been out and about on local outings, helping us remember to be Safe, Observant, Monitoring and Acting on what we already know.

Our young learners have been using a variety of mark-making tools to practise writing numbers, and some children have even been creating their own sums for friends to solve.

Junk modelling has been a firm favourite this week, with creativity flowing freely. The children produced many fantastic creations including dragons, boats and princess castles. Well done everyone!

Out in the garden we have begun our spring tidy-up, doing some weeding to prepare our planting area for seeds. This has sparked lots of curious “I wonder…” questions such as: Where do plants come from? and How do they grow? We’re looking forward to watching what happens over the next few weeks.
