Poggle

Poggle is the story of Vince, who wants to explore the forest but is too scared, until one day he meets Poggle, a friendly creature. Together they go on an adventure through the forest where they discover the magical musical tree. A warm hearted, sensory dance theatre piece with live music, clapping rhythms and comedy throughout in an imaginatively changing world that the children have the chance to explore.

P2 Working on Shape

In maths we have been exploring shape – we constructed lots of shapes and started to spot which shapes had been used to make other shapes.

The onebillion maths app has arrived. Our ipads are being well used as different groups are engaging with this new resource.

Stay and play

Just a reminder to parents for stay and play this Monday. Morning session between 8.45-9.45 am and afternoon session between 12.10-1.10. This is a super opportunity for you to share play with your child and let them show you what they enjoy doing at nursery.

Theatre production for the early years department

Yesterday the nursery children were very lucky to have a special performance from a theatre company . The children were all thrilled with the singing, dancing, music and the story of the woodland, how the characters over came challenge, fears ,built self esteem and helped each other to succeed. At the end they were invited to explore the props with the cast.
