Don’t forget that we are closed for our teacher training day on Monday the 30th of October.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Harvest celebration this morning. It was lovely to see so many people there. Thank you for all of the Harvest gifts which you have sent in. They are going to the Food Bank in South Shields to help those in need of a little support.

Mmmmm yummy soup and bread!
This week in the green room we went on a bear hunt following on from our story last week!! We splashed through the water, ran through long grass âswishy swashyâ and tiptoed very quietly towards the cave. We also did yoga âgoing on the bear huntâ-everyone joined it.
Jessica kindly sent us a parcel-it was envelopes, Thank you!!
This week in the green room we made muffin pizzas. Some of the children liked them and some didnât, but they all had a try. We decided that weâd like to make cupcakes in the future.
The children all practiced their cutting skills. They had a bag with a variety of things to cut in it. The children were all really engaged in this activity.
Some of Yellow Group explored the Small World area in the Nursery. The dinosaurs and trains proved to be very popular until the coloured blocks came out! There was a lot of balancing and building of towers. Esme said she was building a âbig big tower!â while Harriet decided, âI donât need to build a big tower, Iâm gonna build a little tower.â

Jack put his dinosaurs in a line and got very excited when he had a handful of âteeny tiny dinosaurs!â
Leo couldnât keep his trains on the track! âThey keep falling off the end.â He worked with James to make a longer track so the trains stay on.
FOREST SCHOOL Yellow Group 26.09.2017
Today we found some mushrooms growing in Forest School so the children talked about how they are dangerous and what we need to do if we find them. The children cut and stuck pictures of our mushrooms and other mushrooms into the floor book and talked about what to do when we found them.
The morning children explored the forest and loved paying with the Elderberries which grow in abundance in the nursery forest. Jenson and Holly used the berries to make butterfly drawings.
The afternoon children found 3 snails and they looked at them close up and they even built a den for them. There was a huge interest in birds so the children put out seeds for the birds and they all made bird feeders. We hid in the bird hide and looked for the birds.
All of the children sat round the campfire and revisited the campfire rules. They were fantastic at remembering the campfire rules so we lit the campfire and the children toasted their own marshmallows!
We learned about potential Forest School dangers with Miss Pollard and also the campfire rules as we toasted marshmallows.

We have had a very exciting week because we have been doing a lot of things for the first time! On Thursday Red Group were in Forest School. It was tricky to put on our new splash suits, but most of the children had a good try. We explored the forest then had hot chocolate and marshmallows in the fire circle. Also, some of our new children have been my Special Helper and have done a good job. Itâs such and important job, everyone gets a turn!

The afternoon children decided that they wanted to go on a worm exploring adventure. We found lots of different sizes of worms, big long ones and skinny small ones. We collected lots in a bucket and they children had a great time playing with them and measuring them.
