This week in Nursery we have begun to notice the changes from Winter to Spring. We went on a Spring walk to see if we could spot signs of Spring. We noticed buds on trees, bumble bees and daffodils growing around the school. We discussed that it is time to prepare the Nursery garden, ready for planting fruits and vegetables.  The children have been busy weeding the flower beds and filling them with fresh soil. We then planted some onion bulbs as these take a long time to grow.  We can't wait to watch how these change over time!

This week in Nursery we have been using our senses to explore the environment. We have been investigating feely trays with mud, slim, fruit, sand and pinecones. We have also observed ice blocks to see what happens to it over time. Alongside this we have enjoyed water play and using different textured resources to make food in the mud kitchen! 

This week in nursery we have introduced the children to our new topic 'People who help us'. We kicked off our week learning about doctors and the very important jobs that they do. The children were very excited to see that our role play area had turned into a doctor’s surgery over the holidays. The children have been busy booking doctor’s appointments, writing prescriptions and using the stethoscopes and bandages.

This week in Nursery we were joined by our parents for Stay and Play. We were very excited to show our grown-ups the nursery environment and all the things that we do at school. 

Thank you to all the parents for coming and your continued support. We had a great time!

This week in nursery we have been thinking about Harvest time. We have been reading stories and have been discussing where fruit and vegetables come from. We went for a walk to find an apple tree. We picked 18 apples! The children decided that they would like to make an apple crumble. We carefully followed the recipe, and the crumble was delicious! 

Settling in! 

This has been our first full week in Nursery, and we have been very busy exploring all of the areas. The children have been getting to know each other and making new friends.
