Gardening 

The children worked hard on our allotment, clearing away the old plants to make space for new growth. They enjoyed getting their hands dirty as they prepared the soil and carefully planted garlic bulbs, learning about how they’ll grow over the coming months.  We can’t wait to see the garlic sprouting in spring!

Dough Disco and Squiggle 

Spanish time with Mr López

We are loving our Spanish time each week with Mr López, as the children learn about what life is like in Spain and begin to use some simple Spanish words. The sessions are full of fun songs, games, and activities that help the children develop an interest in language and culture. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they greet each other in Spanish and share what they have been learning with pride!

 

Singing in Nursery 

The children enjoy bringing their favourite nursery rhymes to life through singing and performing on stage. It’s always wonderful to see their confidence grow as they share their songs and actions — and invite their friends to join in the fun!

Music in Nursery

Today the children enjoyed a fun music session! They practised playing their instruments together, learning how to start and stop at the same time. We also explored playing our instruments loudly and quietly. The children had a wonderful time making music and developing their listening skills.

Squiggle while you wiggle

Squiggle While You Wiggle combines music, movement and mark-making to help us get ready for writing. By using our whole bodies to make big movements, then transferring these to smaller marks on paper, we strengthen the muscles we need for pencil control. It also develops our coordination, concentration, and confidence – and we have great fun while learning!

Parachute games and rhymes 

Using the parachute helps us learn to work together, listen carefully, and follow instructions. It builds our physical skills like coordination and strength, while also encouraging teamwork, turn-taking, and lots of laughter!

We love dough disco in Nursery

Dough Disco is a fun activity where we use playdough while moving our fingers to music. It helps to strengthen the small muscles in our hands and fingers, which are really important for early writing skills, cutting, dressing ourselves, and other everyday tasks. It also supports coordination, focus, and creativity – all while we are having lots of fun!

Another super week in Nursery

 

European Day of Languages

We had a lovely day in Nursery celebrating European Day of Languages. We chatted about what language some of our friends speak at home and said hello in Arabic, Polish and Italian. We made crowns with flags on and enjoyed listening to some videos in different languages. It was a fun way to learn about the many languages spoken around the world!

Exploring God's wonderful world. 

This week, our nursery children went on a special walk to the school field to explore God’s wonderful world. As they walked through the grass and trees, they collected a variety of beautiful leaves, each one a reminder of God's amazing creation. The children were full of joy as they discovered different colours, shapes, and textures and brought them back to the classroom. We are now using these natural treasures to create self-portraits, celebrating the uniqueness of each child and the beauty of the world God has made.

 

What an amazing first week in Nursery!

The children have made a fantastic start to their time in Nursery. They’ve enjoyed exploring their new learning environments, both indoors and outdoors and have been busy getting to know one another. It’s been lovely to see new friendships forming and the children settling in with such enthusiasm and curiosity.
