Category: Nursery – St Mary – Mother of God

As part of science week and our RE topic we have been growing cress. We have been waiting very patiently and observing their growth.

In maths we looked at tall and short and long and short. We made tall and short towers and long and short snakes. The children also had a look at some different length ribbons and decided which ones were long and which ones were short.

This week we talked about Ash Wednesday and the things that happen on this day and the start of Lent. Mrs Porter came back from the church with the ashes and if the children wanted to, they could receive the ashes in the shape of the cross.

The children have enjoyed their work on Goldilocks this week. We began our story map and thought about the actions we wanted to use. The children have also had lots of fun in the Three Bears Cottage and playing in the small world area.

On Thursday we dressed up as our favourite book characters!

It was lovely to spend lots of time outside this week:

What a week it has been! At the start of the week we spent a lot of the time in the hall rehearsing for our Christmas Nativity and they were all superstars on Wednesday morning when they finally got to show you what they have been working on – the children were fantastic!

This week we talked about the Nativity story a lot. I read the story and used the characters to act it out – as I read, the children sang the songs from our Nativity.

Today we dressed up in our best Christmas clothes

And then we had a surprise visitor….

Thank you for the yummy chocolate treats Santa!

Please remember to bring your Kris Kringle presents in on Monday if you haven’t done so already.

The children have worked so hard this week and Miss Rowson and I are so proud of them, here’s to the last week 🙂

Looking forward to Grandparents Tea and Carols on Monday – Please arrive at the office at 09:30. If a grandparent is unable to make it a parent or other family member is able to come!

Have a lovely weekend
