We raised lots of money for a fantastic cause thank you so much for your kind donations!!. 

Our first trip to the library

We really enjoyed our first trip to our school library in Nursery. We had a great time looking at all of the different books that are available for us to share with our loved ones. We each chose a book to take home to share with our grown-ups. We cannot wait to go back every Friday morning throughout our time in Nursery! Please take a look at some of us spending time at our library.

Our first PE lesson

'Witches and Wizards'

Today in PE we had to pretend that were were witches and wizards wearing big pointy hats. We had to climb on our magic broom and then fly around the room. We had to fly high and low and in different directions. We also had to fly around making sure that we were not touching anyone else. When Miss Forrest had cast the 'freeze spell', we all had to freeze in our own space. Then we had to imagine that we were wizards wearing big long cloaks. Our wand had to lead us around the room. We had to stand still  and point our wand into a space in the room, then quickly run to that space, stopping on arrival and starting again. 
We finished the lesson by playing cauldrons. We had to move freely around the hall area until Miss Forrest shouted 'Hocus Pocus!' When she shouted this we had to quickly run into a cauldron and stand still.

Star of the week

Antibullying 2021

" One Kind Word"

We celebrated Antibullying this week, our theme this year was "One Kind Word"  We started the week by coming into school wearing odd socks! We then had the opportunity to design our very own odd socks we really enjoyed the activity and there were some very colourful designs. We had a discussion with Miss Forrest about being kind and unkind towards people. Some of us even got to make some friendship bracelets and necklaces for our friends we used string and different coloured beads. We have really enjoyed our week. Please take a look at our pictures of us enjoying our Antibullying week

Christmas cards and our special calendars 

We have been super busy in Nursery getting our Christmas cards and calendars ready for our grown-ups. For our Christmas cards we all got dressed up in Nativity costumes we really enjoyed dressing up!! For our special calendars we got very creative we had to think about how we wanted our calendars to look we chose our colours and we used some glue to stick down our hearts and buttons. We really had fun making them and we hope you all like them!!
