Spring has arrived!

Spring arrived in nursery last week with the long awaited arrival of our hens eggs. Some people from Wellgate Animal Farm came to see us and talked to us about how to look after our eggs in order for them to hatch into chicks. We got a special machine called an incubator to keep the eggs warm, they will stay in the incubator for 3 weeks and we should have real live chicks around about 24th - 25th March! We also have a special hopuse to keep the chicks in when they have hatched out of the shells. Its along time for us to wait as we are all so eggcited!

Bubble Blowing

At nursery this week Mrs Low decided to get the bubbles out for some fun. We went into the garden and blew our scented bubbles in to the air. We could smell chocolate and lemon as we watched them float up into the sky. We tried our very best to catch them but it was not easy. Then reception joined us outside and Mrs Low brought out the large bubble blower. We had great fun watching the huge bubbles rise up, we chased them but we did not catch them. We all had a lot of fun.

Drum Outdoors


At nursery this week we have been learning to improve our listening skills. We wanted to listen to sounds in the enviroment so during one of our group time sessions we took some drumsticks out into the garden and began tapping or stroking different objects. We were able to listen to the different sounds that each object made, we talked about the sounds and we also made a video of our adventure. We hope you like it.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Monday 14th December was Christmas party day in nursery, we all came to school in our best party outfits and Mrs Low played some music so we could all have a dance and play some dancing party games! When we got tired we sat down and palyed a game of pass the parcel. We were all feeling a bit peckish by this point so we sat down and had some tasty snacks which included some crisps and biscuits, yum yum! Then we had a very special visitor come to see us ........... it was Santa! We all had our photograph taken with him and he gave us all a chocolate santa to eat. It was a really special day!

Christmas Carol Celebration

Last week in nursery we held our Christmas Carol Celebration. We had been really working hard to remember all the carols which we sang to our family and friends. We were able to dress up as angels and re-create the nativity scene learning all about the birth of baby Jesus. Afterwards our family and friends were invited back into nursery for a hot drink and a mince pie, a good time was had by all.

Colour and Light

In nursery this half-term we have been learning about colour and light. We have really enjoyed finding out about the differences between night and day and have had some great fun making dens and playing inside them with our torches.
