Take a look below at our wonderful learning, visits and experiences.

Pictures will be added throughout the 2024-2025 academic year. 

 

Having some fun in the sun!

 

We used a potato stamp to make bear footprints and used small coloured bears for the children to explore sorting and grouping by size and colour!

 

We've had a great couple of days back at Nursery! We have explored lots of different activities in the garden from climbing the slide to building lots of sand castles.

 

We have had lots of fun this morning. We have been on an egg hunt and had fun outside. Hope everyone has a lovely Easter and enjoys the holidays!

 

This morning, we had lots of spring time fun in the Nursery garden! We rolled eggs, caught ducks, drew pictures with chalk, watered the flowers, climbed and built a tower. What a fun morning!

 

We spent most of the morning outside enjoying the lovely weather! We spoke about watering flowers and even planted our own. We have made flowers using play dough cutters and adventured into the sensory garden where we listened for birds and found some flowers. What a lovely morning!

 

We went into the sensory garden to look for some signs of spring! The children had a lovely time and found some daffodils.

 

This week, we had some special visitors in the nursery garden when two little ducks found their way in! Together we spoke about their different colours and made a little water area for them. Some children even made their own ducks from playdough using different tools!

 

We have enjoyed a morning of fun activities from making yummy sandwiches to making our own red nose. Happy Red Nose Day!

 

This week, we have been exploring the topic 'Farms'. We made our own pink pig, went on a farm hunt and read some farm themed books together!

 

Today we celebrated World Book Day, we loved seeing all the children in their outfits and sharing their favourite books!

 

In Nursery, we have been celebrating Valentine's Day by using the colour red and doing art actvities with glitter. We also made love hearts from Play-Doh!

 

This week, we have been exploring Chinese New Year. We have made our own Chinese Lantern using red paint and made our own dragon from Play-Doh. 

 

We've had some poorly babies in nursery this week! We wrapped bandages and made them all better with medicine. 

 

Our topic this week was "Who helps me at school?" 

 

We had a fantastic Christmas party! We even received a special message from Santa all the way from the North Pole!

 

This morning, we started our Christmas cards and we were discussing the Christmas trees we have in our homes!

 

This morning we had Little Dribblers. The children explored running fast and slow with the ball. Our topic this week was silver stars!

 

We went on a spider hunt this morning! We didn't find any unfortunately but we had a great time walking together in the snow.

 

Today the children explored the outdoor area. We made the parachute go up and down like a firework!

 

We have been making pumpkins in the studio today! The children helped and we explored the farm animals. We had a great time.

 

Today we explored the texture and colour of a pumpkin! The children helped to scoop the seeds out and we also explored Autumn crowns with different coloured leaves.

We have been making scented playdough! The children practiced their cutting skills by chopping up various herbs. After mixing all the herbs into the playdough, we took it outside to use in our mud kitchen.

 

The children have been exploring the sensory garden, searching for autumn leaves. They engaged with their surroundings using their senses, even listening to the wind chimes.

 

Today we visited the sensory garden to gather leaves! We ran through the arch and played hide and seek, we had a great time!

 

The children have been exploring one of the five senses—smell. They used their noses to experience various scents, including curry, herbs, and garlic. Some children made funny faces, while others found garlic to be their favourite. Meanwhile, another group participated in a teacher-led activity, where they practiced their fine motor skills by threading beads onto a lace, creating a long string.

 

The children had a fantastic time in the mud kitchen, whipping up all kinds of imaginative dishes and drinks! Our story of the week, 'Peace at Last', has been a big hit. We've enjoyed cozy reading sessions in small groups, diving into the tale and discussing it together.

 

We explored the sensory room, where we saw turtles on the screen and played the freeze game. Some of the children crafted their own apples using glue and a variety of textures. We also made different shapes out of playdough, including rolling it to create sausages.

 

This week, the children spent time in their key groups, where each child had the chance to create their own daffodil print using their hands. They also had the opportunity to make their own collages using a variety of materials. Everyone had a fantastic time getting messy!

 

The children are enthusiastic about reading! They've been eagerly exploring the book basket, showing great interest in all the different flap books, especially our new 'That's Not My...' series. Some children have been seeking out adults to share the books with, while others enjoy reading independently. The book of the week has been 'That's Not My Monster'.

 

In Seedlings, we had fun in the home corner, where we made tea for our friends. During group time, we sang "Humpty Dumpty" and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." While playing outside, we worked on our fine and gross motor skills by using building blocks and bricks to create towers.

 

The children have been discovering their new environment and enjoying playtime in the home area. They've been busy making numerous cups of tea, feeding the babies, and even washing the dishes! In small groups, we had a snack, read "Dear Zoo," and sang some songs. We also had some time for painting. It’s been a wonderfully busy day in Seedlings!
