Summer#1 Planting and Growing

The children were so excited to discover the Easter Bunny had visited our nursery AND not only did the Easter Bunny decorate our outside area but had also hidden some chocolate eggs 🐰

The children loved decorating Easter biscuits this afternoon. A big thank you to Clair and Ange, in the kitchen, who made the biscuits – they really do go above and beyond for the children in our school 🍪

Our ‘Stablehands’ have loved role play outside in our nursery stable, caring for the (hobby) horses – feeding and exercising them🐴

A particular interest this week has been our threading activity. The children have been learning how to feed the thread into the threading pens then make patterns on the boards.
This has been great for fine motor skill development, focus and concentration and threading helps develop fundamental finger dexterity. It also helps improve writing and drawing skills.

This week, the children took part in deep sea yoga, they learnt a starfish pose, crab pose, clownfish pose, a jellyfish pose, a seahorse pose and a penguin pose. We also learnt facts along the way about marine life and their adaptations such as starfish can grow back limbs if they lose them, a crab’s shell protects them and keeps them safe.

This week, the children made pancakes 🥞 They were all amazing, waiting patiently for their turn and using their listening ears. The children enjoyed eating pancakes in the afternoon at snack time.
