Happy New Year to all and a very warm welcome to all our new children and families who have recently started at St Nicholas Nursery. What a fantastic start to the year it has been.

All the children have been very busy this week learning and experiencing lots of new and exciting things.   Some of the children have been chatting about castles and palaces, so here are a few pictures showing some of their creative work –

Helping to build and set up a castle with a fort.

What talented boys and girls we have in our nursery.

All the children have settled back into their little routines since coming back after the Christmas holidays.
I wonder what exciting adventures we will get up to next week, watch this space.

we have had another fun busy week learning lots of new exciting things. We have been focusing on literacy and so we got to use some of our new resources for practicing our letter formation. Some of the girls and boys were able to recognise the letters and then trace over the top of them using a pencil and some paper using our light up letter boards.

We spent some time together learning about the syllables in our names and how to tap them out,  first learning to clap them out with our hands and then learning to use a range of musical instruments to tap out the sounds. The children all really seemed to have fun and enjoy this activity.
