Did you know we have a nursery Orchard? Miss Wilkins took a small group of children out to see what developments have been happening in there! They found apples, plums and gooseberries.

We will be looking at the changing seasons and what we can now plant to grow over the Winter months.

We had great fun exploring outdoors following the rainfall on Sunday night. It created the perfect opportunity for the children to learn lots of math! They worked together as a team using their own buckets to fill the biggest tub.

“WOW look at this GIANT puddle” Sophia

“It’s getting fuller and fuller” Lewis

“We are filling it up” Mazie

“Look a tiny puddle” Sophia

We will continue to explore measuring water in different ways helping us to extend our language.

Loose parts play is a type of play that supports invention, divergent thinking, problem solving and offers a sense of wonder to children. They are materials that can be moved, carried, combined, redesigned, lined up, and taken apart and put back together in multiple ways.

Thanks to our neighbours RICHMACK we have a very good start to our outdoor loose part collection. They kindly donated some loose part materials the children can use to be creative, develop their imagination and explore risk taking and assessing on their own.

Thank you very much.

Can all our parents please become familiar with this board located across from the children’s coat pegs in nursery. You can find information on how to help develop learning at home with our ‘Try at Home’ page which you can help yourself to. There is also a donations board which will change regularly. Thank you. 

We are very short of boys and girls socks for the nursery spare box. With the very wet weather and Winter around the corner could you please check for any nursery socks at home that haven’t been returned or donate socks if you can. We have feet of all sizes! Thanks.
