This week in maths we continued to look at colours – we correctly matched the colours of the objects in the box to the colour card.
We continued our work on Owl Babies, we have created our story map and are learning the story with the help of the actions.
We have also been watching the video below if you’d like to watch at home
Reminders
All bookbags need to have a small keyring attached to it so that the children can identify their bookbag at home time.
Thank you for those have already sent in a family photo and a baby photo. The children are enjoying looking at them in the classroom. Please send in to school if you haven’t done so already as we will be using them for some of RE lessons.
Hello Children, Parents and Carers, welcome to the first Nursery blog for the academic year 2025 – 2026. Each week I will let you know what learning has been taking place in Nursery.
The children have begun settling in very nicely and if you pop over to Tapestry you will see some photos of your child playing and exploring the resources in Nursery. Please let me know if you are unable to activate your account.
Magic Moments
It would be lovely as always to see what the children do outside of school and this will be celebrated in class. It would be great to see photos of days out, parties, weddings, holidays, playing at home, completing jobs or tasks, clubs or anything that the children wish to share! Magic moment slips, photos, medals, artwork or certificates can be displayed in class and I know they will enjoy seeing themselves on the big screen if you would prefer to upload photos to Tapestry.
Maths
This week in Maths we look at the colours red, blue and yellow. The children were very good at sorting the colours.
RE
We started our RE lessons this week and thought about Creation. We learnt that God made the world on 7 days and these helpful numbers tell us what he created on what day. We made our own version of God’s world and listened to a beautiful song called ‘What a wonderful world’.
Reminders
Children and parents are kindly asked to wait in the KS2 playground before school until the door is opened. Play equipment must not be used before or after school.
Please could each bookbag have a keyring so that children can identify their own bookbag at home time. Please look in the bookbag each day for letters or artwork. Book bags are ordered on arbor and collected at the office.
If the children are staying for lunch please provide appropriate cutlery for what they are eating and again please check food wrappers as we are a nut free school.

This week in RE this week we learnt about Saint Paul and Saint Peter. We read about when Peter went out in his boat and Jesus appeared and helped him catch fish. We read that Peter denied Jesus and had to say sorry afterwards which made us think about the times we have had to say sorry. We then learnt that Paul travelled the world spreading the word about Jesus, we looked at maps and the different places he visited. We made sorry cards for Jesus and maps in class.
On Monday we helped create a mosaic in pairs, we worked very hard to stick small tiles down. We can’t wait to see our completed work in school.

This week we were busy making our flags for VE Day. The children chose what they wanted to use; dabby dotters, paint or collage, the flags looked beautiful. The children were very excited and kept asking me all week about having a party on the field, they enjoyed waving their flags and eating their cake. We talked about why we celebrate VE Day and how important it is that we remember the anniversary of the end of the war.
Something else very exciting happened this week! We came in on Tuesday morning to find that that we now had 5 cocoons, so they were moved very carefully into the net.
