We hosted another successful nursery sports this week with everyone enjoying races in the gym hall. We had a running race, a balancing a cone on your head race, a jumping race and lastly a running then jumping through a hoop race. We offered an adults race but nobody took us up on that! We did however manage a visitors race in the afternoon to include some younger visitors. The event ended with a lovely medal ceremony.
Here at Deans we’ve been lucky enough to have a new sensory room installed which can be used by the whole school. A sensory room is a specially designed room which uses special lighting, music and objects to calm children and develop their senses. We’ve been taking children up in small groups trying to ensure everyone gets a turn. I am sure you will agree it looks great.
Instead of our usual weekly walk we decided to have a bike ride. We took the bikes and scooters and had an adventure right round the school grounds ending up in the school garden where we stopped for our picnic snack in the sunshine.
Using the letters from the stone circle that spell Deans Primary we tried to see if we had any of the letters in our own name. The afternoon boys and girls then caught up with the Garden Gang and had some fun with them.
We all planted a sunflower seed this week and will care for them and watch them grow while learning all about nature and plants. Some children then had fun making sunflower pictures.
We took a trip out of nursery this week to look for signs of Spring. We had great fun hunting for flowers and buds on the trees.
We encourage the children to drink lots of water as dehydration can cause tiredness, headaches, lack of concentration and reduced mental performance. We have introduced a water dispenser which allows them to help themselves and they absolutely love it.
We like to take advantage of any good weather here and the children love having their snack outdoors.
It has been a very busy week this week learning the Easter story and having some Easter fun. We’ve coloured in egg pictures, decorated boiled eggs and made delicious crispy cakes. We hope you all have a great holiday and we’ll see you all back on Monday 9th April.
A big thank you to everyone who attended our latest PEEP sessions. Everyone who took part was presented with their certificates this week. Look out for more session dates coming in term 4.
Every child in nursery was given a book bag to bring home this week which caused great excitement. We hope you have enjoyed reading the new books and listening to the CD.
