Nursery: Spring 2025

On Wednesday we had a fantastic celebration with our Reception friends. We showed of our dance moves, played fun games and enjoyed an egg-cellent Easter egg hunt

This week Nursery hopped and leaped into Easter. Playing and exploring lots of Easter tuff trays. We also had fun on an Easter egg hunt in the Rainbow Garden.

We have had some special fluffy and furry visitors come to see us in Nursery. We were very gentle when holding and stroking the chicken, rabbit, and owl. We then had to be brave when we handled the slippery snake, bearded dragon, and prickly hedgehog. It was an amazing experience! We learned so much about where the animals live and what they eat.

Nursery have had so much fun learning about Zoo animals. We have created our very own Zoo role play area where we can look after animals dress up like a zookeeper and feed the animals.

Nursery had a fun filled day to celebrate Newcastle United getting to the final of the Carabao Cup.

Nursery have had so much fun learning about animals. We talked about our favourite animals and Together, we created and acted out an animal dance. We made some delicious cakes and enjoyed eating them when watching an animal story. 

Nursery put on their ‘detective hats’ and looked for clues to see who had made a big mess in the Home Area. We looked at the clues and worked out it was ‘Goldilocks’ who did it. The Nursery CCTV confirmed it; we caught her red-handed sneaking around Nursery making a mess.  We worked up an appetite looking for all the clues, luckily we had some yummy porridge to enjoy after!

This week Nursery continued their journey through the magical world of ‘Traditional Tales’. We loved listening to the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ and acting it out with our friends. We enjoyed scaring Miss Graham and Mrs Slater with our loud snarling troll voices. We had fun pretending to be goats’ trip, trapping over the bridge and sliding down into the delicious green grass.

Once Upon a Time in Nursery a little Gingerbread Man and his friends left us lots of traditional tales’ stories to share. After sharing some of the stories and talking about our favourite characters we decided to make some delicious gingerbread men, that, thank goodness, did not run away! Another Favourite story was the ‘Three Billy Goats Gruff’ we created our own troll and billy goats.

What an amazing week nursery have had Celebrating Chinese New Year. We had so much fun playing in the Chinese Restaurant we created. We loved dragon dancing and playing the musical instruments in the Rainbow Garden to beat of the Chinese music. We treated our taste buds to some delicious Chinese food. We decorated lucky red envelopes and even got to take a special Chinese coin and fortune cookie home.

Nursery are really enjoying taking part in PE: balancing, jumping and moving in lots of different ways.

This week in nursery we had a ‘chilly time’ learning how to make ice and experimented in different ways to free the artic animals that were trapped in the ice. We had so much fun making our own snowmen using playdough, mini hats and little buttons.

We explored the topic of ‘Winter’ in Nursery. We researched all about different kind of artic animals and had fun playing with them in water and ice. We loved playing in the winter wonderland role play area.
