During our first week in nursery when it was icy and snowy outside, the children were very interested in ice and how it is made and what happens to it. So we decided to make some ice to explore in nursery. We put some small dinosaurs inside and left the children to explore what had happened and what was going to happen. We had lots of good discussions. Children estimated how many dinosaurs were trapped in the ice (they thought 10). They said things like "It might melt." "It's melted". "The sun would be great at melting it". "It's cold, so icy". "When it's melted we can catch the dinosaurs". "The waters coming from the ice". "It came from the freezer". What fantastic investigating!

We have had a lovely time today at our animal workshops. The children (and adults) were very brave and we met lots of exciting animals like Tiddles the Tortoise and Socks the Snake.

What a fun day we have had in the snow today. We sledged, dug and just had a whale of a time

Welcome back to nursery after the Christmas holidays. We hope you all had a lovely break! Welcome to our new starters in nursery. This half term we will be learning about dinosaurs and also animals that live in Africa, we are already very excited to be learning about dinosaurs as we have lots of dino experts in nursery! Attached is the newsletter to tell you what we are learning, key vocabulary, key dates and names of staff. 

The children have recently been putting chairs together to play trains, so we thought it would be a great idea to introduce a Polar Express role play area to let their little imaginations run wild with. We have seen lots of interesting characters boarding, some familiar from our stores and some new ones! The children have been taking the train to the beach, to the park for a picnic, to the North and South Pole just to name a few destinations!
