We have a fabulous new outdoor area and have enjoyed exploring all our lovely new toys and equipment. We put on our nursery wellies and take our learning outdoors, keeping us active while we have lots of fun!!

Make and Taste
Our parents and carers came to ‘Make and Taste’ with us and we made lots of tasty healthy food. We prepared dishes such as fruity crumble tumblers, salsa wraps and fruity pizzas. We even made our own jam by mashing up strawberries and raspberries. The best part was tasting all our yummy food!
Busy bees
The staff and children from the Ladybird Room have planted some beautiful flowers in their new planters.
While outdoors, a group of children from the the Sunshine Room noticed that the flowers were attracting lots of bees. They watched them very closely and made a video of the bees collecting nectar to show all of the other children in the playroom.
Layla – “the bees suck all the nectar out of the flowers and then make it into honey”
Jay – “there’s lots of bees all over the flowers”
Dexter – “buzzy buzzy bees”
Outings











We have enjoyed all of our visits this month into our local community. We have visited the library, the Mansfield Garden Centre and also the beach. Thank you to all our adult helpers who came along too.
Beautiful butterflies










We were excited when a delivery of caterpillars arrived in the post!
We watched them ‘munch and crunch’ then get bigger and bigger. After turning themselves into chrysalides, we placed them carefully in a net and watched and waited while they ‘slept’. We came in on Monday morning to find that they had all changed into beautiful butterflies. We had to give them juicy fruits such as melon and oranges to make sure they didn’t get thirsty until we could release them outdoors.
Beach clean

On Wednesday 3rd June all of our children, from all 3 playrooms, visited Girvan Beach to pick up litter and help to keep our local community clean and tidy. Mums, dads, carers, family and friends came along to help and everyone worked hard to make this a huge success.
Thank you to our boys and girls and all our helpers!
