How do you feel about your child starting BIG school? Do you have any concerns about the transition or worries about your child?
If so come along to nursery for a chat on the 30th April at 9am or 4th may at 12:30 😊
This week the Blue Group did a great job as they carefully painted daffodils, during our observational drawing at small group time. We talked about the stem, petals and trumpet parts of the flowers.  Whist at Forest School this week we found lots of signs of spring, especially daffodil shoots appearing through the ground.
This week the Green Room children got 2 fish to look after. The afternoon children voted to call their fish Tinkerbell. We have had a busy week; there is still a lot of interest in writing so we used chalkboards this week. We went to the block area and the children could use the large or small blocks. The children all chose to work in small groups and work together to build their creations. On Wednesday the children honed their fine motor skills by threading fruit onto skewers at the end they got to drizzle chocolate over them. Delicious!!
Red Group have been busy again this week! On Wednesday we learned how to thread special pens with string and make patterns on the boards, which helps to develop the muscles in our hands for writing. We had a fab time at Forest School making kites out of carrier bags! It was a windy day, so we took them outside and had kite races. It was great fun, but it wore us out! We had to have hot chocolate and chocolate pancakes to perk us up again!
The Blue Group were very busy during   âStay and Playâ  on Wednesday, as they
took part in our Spring/Easter activities.    Luckily, the weather was good and we were able to carryout our campfire cooking ready for the grownups to sample.
The highlight of Red Groupâs week has been the Easter Stay and Play day!  All of the children and adults enjoyed the activities on offer. Lots of us made Easter cards and Spring paintings, and yummy Easter nest cakes. Outside, Forest School was open and Miss Pollard had the camp fire on with marshmallows to toast. A good time was had by all!
Thank you to all of the parents who came to our World Book Day Stay and Play Session! we hope you all had a wonderful time! Here is a selection of the photographs from this lovely day!
