Nursery

Hello and welcome to Nursery

Summer 2025

Nursery planted French beans, potatoes and sunflowers and learned about plant life cycles. 

During Shakespeare week the children listened to A Midsummer Nights Dream then designed and named their own fairies.

We had a workshop in which the children got to handle, stroke or observe  lots of animals such as a tarantula, a gecko, a gerbil, a frog, a millipede and a snake. They learned many interesting facts about the animals and their life cycles.

The children read the story of The Hungry Caterpillar then made paper plate life cycles.  On Languages Day the children read La Chenille Affaimee (The Hungry Caterpillar in French) and practised their numbers, colours and days of the week which they had been learning in French.

Exploring forces involved pushing pulling and rolling balls of different sizes along different surfaces and twisting, pressing, rolling, pushing play dough and making oobleck – a mix of cornflour and water.
