This week we have been looking at a book called Me And My Map. We talked about how we live in England, in a county called South Yorkshire, in a city called Sheffield. Miss Squires showed us on the map and then we had a go at making our own maps. 

Well what a wonderful day we had at Cleethorpes today! We began by eating our chippy dinner in the dolphin gardens picnic style. The food was very yummy! After our tummies were full, we walked down to the beach and from there the fun began. We had a donkey ride and spent time playing on the sand. We had a fantastic time! We finished the day by enjoying a yummy ice cream with sauce. It was delicious! 

Our teachers were so proud of how amazing we all were. The lady with the donkeys said she thinks our school is the best as our children are always so well-behaved at such a young age! The children were an absolute credit to Watercliffe Meadow. They listened, behaved impeccably, had wonderful manners, and it was a delight to spend the day with them. Thank you so much for trusting us to take your little lovelies! 

For your amusement, we have a before and after photo of the teachers who were feeling a little tired after the day! Haha! We hope the children sleep well tonight as we certainly will!

This week in nursery we have been working together to build a train track. We have made long ones and short ones and been to some great places like Cleethorpes, the zoo and town. Great team work.

We have been travelling to lots of different places in our role play area this week. Dubai, Turkey, Spain, McDonalds to name but a few. Sometimes we travelled by bus or train or aeroplane, not forgetting our passports and boarding cards !

Over the last two weeks we have been minibeast spotting in our nursery grounds. We found lots of bugs including bees, ladybirds, butterflies, ants, woodlice, flies and beetles. We were very gentle and didn't try to hurt them as we have been talking about that in our P4C session this week. 

On Wednesday we released our five butterflies outside. We have loved watching their lifecycle, it has been fascinating to see them in the caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly stage. It was very exciting to see them fly out of the net and away. We hope they come back to visit the nursery grounds soon!
