Gardening!
We have been looking after the plants we already have growing in our nursery garden and planted more in recycled milk bottles! We used branches to hang them on the fence. We also planted some bulbs and watered them. We can't wait to see the flowers growing in Spring!
Visit from the Police Van
Our lovely local community police officers visited school and showed us around the police van - we even got to use the siren, it was very loud!

Learning today - Friday 10th March

Look on Evidence Me for what we were doing yesterday - can you draw some more pictures of people and say the names of the different parts of the body.

The children were so excited to be up close to all the sea creatures from British Rock Pools. We looked at star fish, a hermit crab, anemones and mussels. We learnt lots of interesting facts about all the sea creatures and even got to touch some of them!
Chinese New Year
To celebrate the Chinese New Year, the children have made Chinese dragons with moving parts, using scissors, single hole punches, pipe cleaners and split pins! We compared Chinese to English writing and used black paint and pens to copy it! We used red paper as red is a lucky colour.

What is Forest Schools?
Forest Schools helps children develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or outdoor area.
Some nursery children are currently taking part in Forest School Activities.
Forest Schools Week 1:
We have been on a Listening walk. We heard birds, cars, a drill and even a dog bark!
Forest Schools Week 2:
We explored our outdoor area and collected natural objects such as leaves, stones and sticks. The children were very clever and made fantastic sculptures out of the things they had found.
Forest Schools Week 3:
The children worked together to build a brilliant tent. Afterwards we sat inside the tent and read the story Owl Babies.
Forest Schools Week 4:
This week the children carefully looked around the outdoor area to find mini-beasts. We found a centipede, some worms, some slugs and a few woodlice. A few children were very brave and held the mini-beasts in their hands!
