The children had fun making and testing paper aeroplanes this afternoon – they were quite successful ✈️

Before half term, Nursery 2 listened to a story Trains, Trains, Trains then played a maths game. They rolled the dice, and placed the corresponding number of trains / carriages on the track – we had short trains, long trains, night trains, light trains, new trains, old trains – anything you like trains! 😉🤣
The children were curious as the book had an illustration of a Level Crossing, so in the moment we watched a video about what happens at a Level Crossing 🚘 🛑 🚆 They were excited to see the train whizz past.

Summer#2 Changes

The children learnt Vincent Van Gogh is an artist. They looked at a self portrait he had painted of himself and some of his famous pieces of artwork.

Growing Cress
The children watched a time lapse of cress filmed growing over a week. They observed the little white shoot popping out of the seed, the roots growing and the green tips turning into leaves. After 9 days however, with no water the cress started to droop and no longer grow.

We talked about what cress needs to grow; moisture (water), light and used cotton wool as a soil replacement.

The children then started the process of growing their own cress…they are excited to see the changes.

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 🍪
