Nursery Spring News

Spring News

The Spring term has been very busy.  We have welcomed a new member of staff, Miss Sutcliffe, along with several new children. They are all beginning to settle in and make friends.

Everyone enjoyed learning about the Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated by the Chinese community.  Some children helped to re-enact the traditional story of the animals competing in a swimming race, to decide who should have the year named after them; whilst others helped to make Chinese lanterns and a fantastic dragon model.

The dragon was used to perform a dance for the children in Reception.

The children enjoyed using chopsticks to eat noodles and prawn crackers at snack time; it definitely wasn’t as easy as it looked.

The children have really been enjoying this term’s ‘Once Upon a Time’ theme in Nursery, and our focus story Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  Everyone was shocked to find that somebody had sneaked into the stock cupboard and made a big mess; there was a broken chair and porridge everywhere.  The children worked out that it must have been Goldilocks who smelt the porridge that they were going to eat at snack time.  They were very forgiving and made posters to let her know that she was welcome to share their porridge.

The children had great fun taking turns to act out the Goldilocks story.

Next Half Term

The ‘Once Upon a Time’ theme will continue, but with greater emphasis on ‘homes’.  We’ll be learning about huge castles, tiny cottages and tall towers.

If you’re out and about during the half term break, you could look out for these types of homes.  This would give your child something exciting to talk about during group discussions.

WE LOVE READING

Lots of children have now received their Marshall certificates, with some even achieving Everest; they are well on the way to changing their library books 30 times.  This means that they will achieve a Skye book voucher, which can be exchanged for a book of choice from the school book shop.

Happy reading everyone.
