Nursery bulletin: Friday 13th November 2020

Dear Parents and Carers,

Considering we have only been at Nursery for three days this week we have managed to squeeze in an incredible amount of of learning.

Highlights of the week:

  • Today we observed a minutes silence in the Nursery, we explained that we were doing it to honour heros past and present and we are so proud of each and every child that was here today.

  • The children have been making Prickly friends out of clay. They have been praticing their fine motor skills – rolling the clay into a ball, squeezing it into a sausage, pinching it’s nose and pushing in it’s matchstick spikes.
  • We have had more fun on the farm this week and we have been really surprised at how tidy their farm has been.
  • The children have been playing games this week and have been focussing on taking turns and working together.
  • We have introduced a new set of tin drums to the garden and it’s been fantastic watching the children making music and dancing together.
  • Another busy baking week has seen the children making chocolate chip cookies, cheese straws, cheese scones and some made the initial letter of their name out of salt dough.
