Due to the Easter holidays April was a short month for us. However, the Nursery children still managed to pack in lots of wonderful learning experiences.

Our topic for this term is ‘Animals’ and we introduced this topic by looking at farm animals. We have shared two wonderful books – ‘Rosie’s Walk’ and ‘Noisy Farm’. We spoke about different animals we might find on a farm and the different noises each animal makes. We sang lots of animal songs and especially enjoyed ‘Old MacDonald’. 

We had a very exciting delivery of some eggs in an incubator; the children were able to watch the eggs hatch and the chicks emerge. The children have really enjoyed watching the chicks grow and will be sad to see them go when they leave to go back to the farm.

Our PHSE lessons were all about our families and the things they do for us. We also spoke about how to be a good friend and we played some circles games that encourage friendship.

In Maths we have been concentrating on the number 4; we have found the numeral around the room, and we are looking at the different ways we can represent the number 4.

As the weather has improved, we have also been able to spend more time in our outside learning environment, investigating some of the wonderful learning opportunities on offer.
