We are very proud to announce that we have achieved our Silver Award for Eco Schools. A huge ‘Thank You’ must go to Mrs Purvis, supply nursery nurse and mum of Ellie (am session) for all her hard work collating and co-ordinating activities, display board and eco evidence, for this award. Very well done also to all the children and staff for their hard work helping to achieve this. Next year we plan to continue and extend this work so that we can achieve our Green Flag!!! Keep up the good work everyone!!!!

Caterpillars & Butterflies
Our teacher student introduced the caterpillars to the children by reading them the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We have two lots of caterpillars in the nursery one for the am session and one for the pm session. The children have been learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and we have some lovely decorated butterflies for our display. We look forward to releasing out butterflies soon!
Sowing Vegetables
The children have been busy sowing vegetables. They have been helping to prepare the soil by weeding and raking. We have planted carrots, beetroot, lettuce and spring onions. Once harvested they will make a delicious snack in the nursery!! The children also helped to make a Mrs Scarecrow for our garden by sawing the branches from the christmas tree used in the nursery at christmas time! Doesn’t she look lovely and scary!!!! We have also planted some lovely smelling herbs such as mint, thyme and sage into our herb garden and heathers in the rockery! Our garden is looking good!
