The Queen of Hearts.

This week we have been learning the nursery rhyme - The Queen of Hearts.


The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,
all on a summers day.
The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts
and took them right away.


First we made real jam tarts. Then we opened a cake shop where the children produced their own cakes, tarts and biscuits using play dough, and sold them to their friends.

Nursery open day

On Thursday 11th February we invited parents to join their children at nursery. It gave them the opportunity to see first hand our nursery routines and the high levels of independence we expect from the children.
Parents enjoyed playing with their children in the setting and found the experience very worthwhile.

We plan to run another open day in the summer term. Dates will be confirmed nearer the time.

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.

A busy week at nursery

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.
