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.
What a lovely week we have had back at nursery! We welcomed lots of new children into nursery and have been enjoying learning about dinosaurs. What a fun week!
Yesterday was our Nursery Christmas Party and we had a fantastic day! We played pass the parcel, musical bumps and had a disco. We ate some party food all together. The best thing was a surprise visit from Father Christmas who brought us all a present while we were in the hall having fun! He made a bit of a mess in nursery with his snowy footprints, but the teachers didn't mind! What a fun time we had!
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!
We have filled our golden coin jar and as a treat had pizza for snack this week, well we are super stars and totally deserve it!
The children have enjoyed making up stories with all the different fairy tale characters. They have used their imagination and interacted with their peers.
We have had such a lovely day with our families for our Christmas workshops. We had so many families join us and the children did some great Christmas decorations.
We have listened to the story the Gingerbread Man this week in nursery. We have done lots of fun activities using our cutting and writing skills. We have made some delicious gingerbread men on the playdough table.
The children who did not go on our visit this week have had lots of fun in nursery. They have retold Fairy Tales, played with playdough and splashed in the water tray. They had a great time in P.E. playing tag games and using rugby balls.
Yesterday some of our nursery children went on a visit to Sundown Adventureland and what a fantastic day we had! We went on lots of rides, including a train ride and tractor ride. They were super fun! We looked around Story Book Village at all the fairy-tale houses that we have been reading about in nursery. We even shouted some of the phrases from the story, such as "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down". We went on a magical sleigh ride and met Santa! He said we were all on the good list, so we all received a present. What lucky children we are! Despite the weather being very cold we all had a wonderful time! The nursery teachers would like to thank the children for how well behaved they were, they followed all our golden rules and were a delight to be with!
Here is some information about Roblox.
This week in nursery we have been reading the story of the Three Little Pigs. In the provision we have been enjoying building houses for the pigs in the construction area and re-enacting the story with the small world figures in the black tray. We could remember all the key phrases from the story, what little stars we are!
