This week in Nursery we have had a delivery of some special eggs! This has been a very exciting time for the Nursery children. 

We put the eggs into an incubator, and we have been keeping a diary of how the eggs have changed. 

On Tuesday our first chick hatched out of an egg. We watched the chick become nice and fluffy and we were able to move it into a brooder box, so we were able to watch them more closely. 

As the week went on all ten eggs hatched! We now have 4 girls and 6 boys. 

We are very excited to see how they will change over the coming week. 

This week in Nursery we have been learning all about Shrove Tuesday and what it means to Christians. We read the story 'Mr Wolfs Pancakes'.  Using the story, we then discussed what ingredients we would need to make our own pancakes. The children followed a simple recipe to make their own pancake and enjoyed tasting them. We used words to describe how they tasted. Some of these were; yummy, sweet, soft and delicious! We discussed how to be safe whilst cooking and that only adults should fry the pancakes as the pan is hot! 

This week in Nursery we have been learning about Chinese New Year. The children were very excited to learn about the Chinese culture and take part in activities to celebrate the year of the Rabbit. We enjoyed tasting prawn crackers during snack time, making lanterns and practised using chopsticks to pick up noodles. In Nursery we are explorers! 

This week in Nursery we have been very excited to see the snow! We went for a snowy winter walk to see how different our outside area looked. We used our senses to explore. 

We listened to the crunching sounds as we walked along, and we were very excited to see our breath in the air. 

We then brought the snow inside to explore it further. We discussed what we thought might happen and found that it started to melt. 

Today in Nursery we had our first stay and play session and it was also Children in Need! We had a fantastic time taking part in activities with our grown ups and showing them our classrooms. There was exploring ice, a giant Pudsey made of different coloured rice, paint the spot on Pudsey and Pudsey playdough! 

This week in Nursery we have continued to explore the Numicon shapes. Each morning we have been counting how many children are at Nursery and finding the correct Numicon to represent the number. 

Alongside this we carefully followed a recipe to make Numicon biscuits. We pressed the shapes into the dough and counted the number of circles. 

We baked the biscuits in the oven and talked about oven safety.

They were delicious!
