Another fabulous week at nursery. We are learning more and more each week…our brains are getting full of knowledge!
A story that has quickly become a firm favourite this week is Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen. We read the story (lots of times) then acted it out in the garden, it was great fun! If you would like to listen to Michael Rosen telling the story click here.
Perhaps you could go on a bear hunt this weekend…or even a tiger hunt! The children love to introduce new (and scary) animals!
It has come to my attention that there is some confusion as to when we break for the half term holiday. If you click on the button below you will find the holiday dates for the whole year.
Key persons blog
After great thought we have decided to compile a collaborative blog from all the nursery key persons. Clare, Colette and Hannah have all contributed and added photos of their groups children. We hope you enjoy it. Here goes….
Wow Nursery...what another fun and busy week we’ve all had!
We introduced our new friend ‘Number 2’ this week. Click here to Meet Two, 2 is one more than 1. In the video One discovers it’s tricky to play tennis when you’re the only block in the world. She bumps into a magic mirror and meets Another One and they join force to make Two. Enjoy!
After watching the number 2 video we each went to find one object in nursery and then paired up with a friend to make two objects!
We have also revisited the sound ‘m’. Can you go on a sound hunt and perhaps find two things starting with ‘m’?!
In the hall for PE we have loved doing the ‘Funky Monkey’. Click here for the Funky Monkey music
‘Lets Go Walking’. Click here for the Let’s go Walking music
…and our favourite ‘Stir Up The Porridge’ Click here for Stir up the Porridge
Why not see if your child can remember any actions and have a go together!
There was some fabulous role play when we got the hairdressing box out on Thursday, such lovely turn taking. We all had enormous fun styling our friends (and the nursery ladies) hair, then relaxing in the chair ready to be beautified!
Worship
This week we thanked God for the gift of water. We talked about how blessed we are to have clean water and prayed for people who don’t have any. We then relaxed to some soothing water music. Click here to listen and relax at home.
We talked about how we need water to live and all its uses. We then wondered about where water came from. This led us to the ‘water cycle’. We talked at length about the water cycle, we also learnt a new word… ‘evaporation’. Click here to watch a video all about water and evaporation. Please ask your child and see if they can explain what evaporation means.
Throughout this week we have been very mindful of the beautiful gift of water.
Here’s a weekend challenge in case you are at a loose end. It’s a chance to notice the natural world change outside our window or in our back garden, the National Trust are challenging us to experience the small moments of joy nature brings us in five different ways.
Let us know how you get on!

Finally, we are missing a small ‘fox’ snack box. Could I ask you to take a look at home in case it has been sent home by mistake.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone and see you on Monday.
