The Nursery children had a great trip to Church Farm Ardeley. We saw pigs and piglets, sheep, cows, rabbits and many more. We were also very lucky to all have the chance to pet the lambs! The children also made their own bug hotels.
Thank you to all the parents and family members who helped on the day it was very much appreciated by all the staff and children.
We are all very proud of the children and how sensible they were.

Over the last few weeks in Nursery we have been busy looking after five ducklings. 

The ducklings arrived as five eggs and we were lucky enough to watch them hatch. We named them Daisy, Dave, Darren, Donald and Elson (born on Mrs Elson's birthday). 

We have been learning about the life cycle of a duck and it has great to see how they have grown and changed. 

The children were very excited to watch the ducks swim in a paddling pool for the very first time.

The ducks are now enjoying their time back on the farm. 

This week in Nursery we have been learning about firefighters and their jobs. We discussed fire safety and how to keep ourselves safe around fire. We all walked down to creature corner and used wooden sticks to create a campfire in the fire pit. We had a snack of marshmallows and cookies and talked about what we could hear, see and smell whilst sitting around the fire. We were very proud of how safe and sensible the children were whilst there.

This week in Nursery we have been reading the story 'The Jolly Christmas Postman.'  We were very excited to find out that Father Christmas had left us a message. He asked us if we could write him a letter and send it to the North Pole. We discussed what a letter is and how our letter would need a stamp to be sent. We then walked to the local post box and posted our letters. Hopefully we hear back from him soon! 

This week at Nursery it has been Nursery Rhyme week.  We have been learning and singing  a variety of rhymes and taking part in lots of different activities. These have included making friendship webs for Incy Wincy spider, counting stars for Twinkle Twinkle little star, exploring instruments and animal sounds for Old Macdonald had a farm.

This week in Nursery we took the children on a very wet welly walk to creature corner. The children put on their wellies and puddle suits, and we walked across the field to find creature corner.

We used our senses to talk about what we could hear, see, smell and touch. The children were all very excited to find snails, slugs and worms living in creature corner.
