Stepps Nursery

Today the boys and girls were learning about the country France. They learnt how to say hello in French and numbers 1-10 in French. They also enjoyed tasting some croissants, baguettes and crepes. The children came dressed in the colours of the French flag, they looked great!

Today all the boys and girls went on a walk around Stepps. The children were looking for ways to keep themselves safe while out in the community. They all came up with some excellent ideas from what they had seen, like zebra crossings, traffic lights, road signs and speed limits!

Taekwondo is back for a 6 week block with Will. What great fun was had by all. The boys and girls enjoyed their first class, focusing on teamwork. The children demonstrated excellent listening skills as well as cooperating with others.

We had a lovely visit to the park this afternoon. The sun was shining and the children were enjoying playing on the climbing frame and building impressive sandcastles. Just before we left the rain came on! Typical! But we all had lots of fun anyway!

All of the children had great fun on Friday for our Nursery Sports Day! We had a sprinting race, the egg and spoon race, the three legged race and the beanbag race. Everyone showed fantastic sportsmanship and enjoyed all of the spectators cheering them on! Well done! You were all super!

We had a super trip to the Loch Lomond Sea Life Aquarium on Friday! There were so many amazing sea creatures there! We seen a HUGE turtle called Cammy who was 16 years old! We watched the otters getting fed and we even seen some scary sharks! We all learned some new facts about the sea and the animals that live there! It was a great day!

Since returning after Easter we have been busy learning lots of new things in the nursery. We are looking at patterns in the world around us and making our own, learning about the word ‘unique’ and that everybody has similarities and differences. We are also focusing on our ‘Under the Sea’ topic and exploring the types of animals that live there. The children have enjoyed using the computer to create their own under water scenes and use clay to make shell prints. We recently got a new water track which the children have loved playing with! We are sure this will be a very exciting term!

On Friday the 24th of March we raised money for Comic Relief by wearing Red to Nursery and showing off our Red Noses! We had hot dogs and popcorn for snack and learned all about where the money we donated goes. It was a great day and we raised lots of money for a good cause!

We are learning about plants through our science topic this term. We have been discussing the different parts of a plant and today we planted our own cress seeds. We know that plants need sun light and water to grow so we have sat our plant pots by the window where we can watch them grow over the next few days.
