The children have been using the small world play resources like sea creatures, treasure chests, shells and pirate ships as well as dressing as noisy pirates. We have had lots of "arrrrs!" and some amazing pirate role playing. They have been making fish puppets and beautiful playdough coral reefs too.

For the last few weeks the nursery children have been planting seeds and beans and looking after the plants and vegetables, as they grow in the nursery garden. We are growing runner beans, broad beans, tomatoes, strawberries, onions, radishes and potatoes. Nursery started swimming this week and for lots of the children it was their first time in the school swimming pool. The children did amazingly well, learning how to enter and exit the pool safely and becoming confident playing in the water. The children have enjoyed roleplay in the new ice-cream shop area. The children really enjoyed listening to the violin and guitar and joining in with new songs and a dance. The children have been exploring moving vehicles and other objects through paint to make marks and mix colours on paper. The children have started to play and learn around the new theme of "vehicles". They have been immersed in new vocabulary and they are becoming familiar with what different vehicles, road signs and keys look like. Now the weather is warmer the children have been enjoying water play, together with sand, outside. They love mixing sand and water with other resources and transporting it around the outdoor area. The children have been settling back into nursery after the easter break. We have seen some wonderful imaginative and collaborative play, led by the children and their interests. The children have been decorating Easter eggs with natural materials. |
