Making potions
In Nursery the children have been reading the story Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. We made a magical potion in the witches cauldron and the children have been busy creating their own potions in the water tray.
A great end our first half term.
Welcome to Nursery!
All the Nursery children have been busy settling in and exploring their new environment. We have all enjoyed getting to know each other and making new friends. Well done to all the children, what a great start!
Tadpoles
What a great start to our last half term in Nursery. We have tadpoles in our class this week. We have been busy making tadpole diaries to record any changes. Lets hope we are lucky enough to watch them grow into frogs!
Wow what an amazing few weeks we have had in nursery! We have been lucky enough to have chicks in our class for the last two weeks. We had ten eggs and we watched as all ten eggs hatched. We have had great fun watching them grow and change and we were very sad to see them leave.
Today in nursery we celebrated pancake day. We read the story Mr Wolf's Pancakes and then measured out all the ingredients to make our own. We decorated them with sugar and lemon juice they were delicious!
Nursery have had a surprise visitor this morning, Bob the skeleton. Bob is here to stay for a few weeks whilst we read Funny Bones and learn all about our bodies.

We have had a very exciting week in nursery. On Monday we came into school to find that someone had been into our classroom, eaten all our porridge and broken a chair. Lucky it was only Goldilocks! We have been very busy reading the story of Goldilocks and the three bears, acting out the story and comparing different sized objects around the classroom.
We have been very busy in nursery over the last few weeks settling in and having fun with our learning.
We have had our first few session of P.E in the hall and have been exploring sounds around our school.
Well done to all the children for such an amazing start
What a great year nursery have had - they have enjoyed finding out about & learning lots of new things. The year ended with a pool party - the children made their own jam sandwiches and created their own ice cream. Everyone had fun splashing in the paddling pool and the children had a carpet picnic and played party games. The party ended with pass the parcel - the prize was a new bird house from Mrs Beard to go up in the EY garden. Mrs Beard will be sad to say good-bye to Nursery and Roebuck school, but sends best wishes to all the children, families and staff she has worked with.
For Arts Week (the last week before half term), we looked at Monet's Waterlily Pond picture. The children enjoyed finding out about Claude Monet and his paintings. We read the story about Katie visiting (and jumping into) this picture - a story by James Mayhew. They counted and recorded numbers hidden underneath lilies and made lily tea lights. The children created sounds of the items in Monet's painting (running water, footsteps on the bridge, a croaking frog) and drew a picture of the pond. They experimented with chalks to blend the blue and green shades of the water, painted a lily pad and attached a raised bridge to their painting.
