Fun in the snow.

The nursery garden looks very different when it is covered in snow. We made sure that we were all wrapped up well to keep warm and wearing our wellies to keep our feet dry. Then played in the snow making patterns with our feet, rolling snowballs and shaking snow out of the trees.

Let's make some music!







Old McDonald had a farm,
e-i-e-i-o
and on that farm he had a sheep,
e-i-e-i-o
with a baa baa here
and a baa baa there,
here a baa, there a baa,
everywhere a baa baa.

This term our topic is On The Farm

The children learnt about the food that is grown on a farm. They opened their own farmers market to sell some of this food.

We made sheep








We have been learning about animals that live on a farm. The children were able to identify a sheep from a set of farm animals and can describe it in simple terms.
"It has white wool and is soft"
"It is fluffy"
"The sheep goes baa"
We made sheep using cotton wool and card. You can see them on display in the nursery.

Two new guinea pigs

We were very sad when Honey, our nursery guinea pig, died. She had been a school pet for four years and meant a great deal to many of the children.
To celebrate the start of our new school year Nursery has welcomed two new arrivals and we hope they will soon become as well loved as Honey. Our two new guinea pigs have been named Daisy and Clover and they have already made themselves at home in the nursery.






The start of a new school year 2009 - 2010

Over the last few weeks we have gradually welcomed many new children to the nursery. They have been busy exploring the nursery classroom and making new friends.



They have enjoyed sharing a book whilst sat on our new red sofa.







While the weather is still nice the children have used chalk to draw shapes and pictures across the playground floor.










The children have practiced using scissors to make decorative collages.
