What a glorious week of sunshine. We have been in the garden all week!
Take a look at what we have been up to!
Barbara’s (and Emma’s) blog
A fun week! We started with messy Monday, yay! We love messy Monday. The children made dough. We tipped the flour on a big tuff tray and then added water…….it got very sticky! It squiged between our fingers and stuck our hand together. We loved it! After what seemed ages the mixture began to look more like dough. We made birthday cakes and put lots of candles in them.
We have been practising writing our names using the Read Write Inc. cards. The children are beginning to say the rhyme as they write their sounds. Click on the button below to have a go at home.
The children have started to design their t-shirts for Sports’ Day, they are looking fab! Don’t worry if you haven’t sent yours in yet, there’s still time!
We have loved playing with the outdoor water play, we have been squirting everything! We have made water chutes, played with the big water wheel and huge teapots!! We got so wet the nursery garden was like a launderette…cloths hanging everywhere!
We also played bobbin rolling! We raced them to see who’s bobbin went the furthest.
On Wednesday the children wanted to find out more about spiders. We watched a power point all about different kinds of spiders. Click on the button to watch at home.
We then made a huge spider web in the garden!
Phew, we have been busy!!!
Have a rest this weekend everyone.

We have had such a busy week this week, lots of brain growing and learning in nursery. We have worked very hard working on number problems with the dice, recognising the pattern of dots. We have also worked very hard at developing our vocabulary. Click here for some ideas for developing communication skills
We were very excited to have a tour of the school as everyone went to mass. We very respectfully looked around each classroom and were amazed at all the brain growing that the big children do. We were very lucky as Mrs Nel said we could sit at the desk s in Year 6. They were so big!
We have also been very busy decorating our T shirts for Sports day. If you haven’t yet sent in your tshirt, then please send in a plain white t shirt as soon as possible.
Thank you
Have a lovely weekend everyone

Hello everyone
This week we continued our coloured flower experiment and tried it with celery instead. Here is the video we watched first: Click here to watch.
We then looked at the bottom of the cut piece of celery to see all the ‘tubes’ that the water could travel up. We were fascinated to see that the leaves on the piece in the blue water had changed colour before we had even gone home at the end of the day! It was much quicker than the flowers last week. We didn’t see much change with the red water, just like the white flower experiment.
We have continued practising our sounds this week - we know so many now! We are now hearing more sounds in words and beginning to recognise them in the books we are reading - we are amazing! We are also having a go at writing them! See if your child can show you at home. Maybe you could use paintbrushes and water in the garden or in the bath!
We have carried on looking after our garden and watering the plants! We can’t wait to see everyone’s sunflower seed planting! Here is a little game to play at home where you can plant the seeds and watch them grow: Click here
Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you all next week.

A look around school!
On Thursday all the children went to Ascension Mass. We thought we would have a trip around school and look at all the other children’s classes!
I think you will agree, we have all done lots of brain growing this week. Have a lovely weekend (and rest), there will be lots more learning next week!
God Bless
