We have managed to reach the end of the spring term and thankfully all safe and well.
It has been an exhausting term and I can see that the children are beginning to flag (as are the staff). Nonetheless, we have had great fun learning and growing our brains. This week the children have been reflecting on the events of Holy Week and have drawn pictures to show how they are feeling.
All the nursery ladies are so proud of all the children’s achievements this term and we can’t wait to start our new learning thread after the holidays….Super Heroes!

This week saw some glorious weather and that meant we could move nursery into the garden. On Tuesday and Wednesday we stayed outside all day. We even had snack and lunch in the garden. It was all very exciting!
As it was so warm we decided to get all the BIG water play out…we had to wear wellies though. We attached hose pipes, cisterns, got the water wheel working and watered the garden using HUGE teapots. Everyone enjoyed the water but we did get a bit wet!
All the children made Easter chicks with Clare and decorated Easter eggs on the computer with Colette. Don’t they look splendid?
Whilst we were in the garden the children wrote letters to the Poggle monster. We drew a picture of the Poggle on the computer and then stuck it on to the post box. You can write anything to the Poggle even if you are missing mummy and daddy. If you want to summon the Poggle you stamp your foot three times….
It was an excellent way to encourage the children to mark make!
Considering we only had four days at nursery this week we certainly crammed in as much as we could, we even made hot cross buns again.
Throughout the year the children have been practicing their balancing skills by building more and more complex and difficult obstacle courses. This week was our best one yet! Take a look!
Finally, on behalf of everyone at nursery I would like to wish everyone a happy and Holy Easter. I hope you all gets lots of time with loved ones, albeit in the garden. Let’s hope it’s BBQ weather!
Nursery reopens on Monday 12th April and we look forward to seeing all then.
