Building work!

As you might have noticed there is building work going on in the Nursery garden at the moment. We are having a slope built for the new Nursery entrance which will take shape over the Summer. The children have shown a great interest in the work and so we have planned in opportunities for the children to dig and build themselves to enable them to experience what is is like to be a builder first hand. The children have been using diggers in the sand as well as using the community bricks to build a variety of different buildings and vehicles.

Hospital Role Play

This half term the Nursery is covering the topic of keeping healthy. To help support their learning the Nursery has turned the role play area in to a hospital. There are different roles for the children to act out. They can be a doctor, nurse, patient, receptionist or visitor. The children are shown how to play each role by an adult who supports their plays and encourages them to try different roles. The children are really enjoying role playing different scenarios.


The children have been filling in patients details including their symptoms and the treatment they will be given.
