Lots of Learning

October 2026 - Making Jam Sandwiches

Our first cooking activity in Nursery has been making jam sandwiches. This has helped children practise the skill of spreading, which they also do at snack time when buttering their toast. Children enjoyed going to the kitchen for the first time to make their sandwiches and particularly enjoyed eating them!

September 2026 - The Colour Monster

Our first core book in Nursery is The Colour Monster. This is always a firm favourite with children and is a great opening to talking about emotions. The children have started each morning by answering the question, "How are you feeling today?" They have become incredibly confident talking about and exploring the different feelings the Colour Monster experiences. Children have enjoyed using our Colour Monster teddies, story stones, and jars to explore the book further. 

September 2026 - Settling in

We have had a brilliant first week in Nursery. Children have come into their new setting with such confidence and have been keen to explore straight away. The Nursery playground equipment has been a particular highlight and children have enjoyed the challenge of balancing, swinging and climbing up the different components. We can already see the progress they are making and can't wait to see how far they come this year!
