Banquet Day

We had a super time at our Banquet Day. We dressed up as kings, queens, knights, princesses, dragons and servants. We invited the parents to come and see our dancing and then we all shared a fantastic banquet fit for a king or queen! What a lovely day!

World Book Day

We all really enjoyed World Book Day in nursery. The children all looked fantastic dressed as their favourite character from a book. The adults came dressed as characters from The Three Little Pigs, our traditional tale of the week. A bell was rung every 30 minutes in the classroom to tell the children that it was story time and if they wished to come and join us on the carpet they could. We also attended the World Book Day assembly where we showed everyone our costumes and shared with them the key phrases from the Three Little Pigs. What a fantastically fun day!

Our topic this half term is

People Who Help Us

We will begin by looking at Firefighters, followed by the police and finally doctors and dentists. The children chose these topics last half term and are very excited to find out more about these people!

Chinese New Year

We have had a fantastic week in nursery celebrating Chinese New Year. The children have used chopsticks to pick up noodles, have tried to write Chinese numerals and have had lots of fun in our Chinese restaurant role play area.

Fire Engine

We were very lucky to see a fire engine at school this week. We were allowed to go and see all of the different tools that are kept on the fire engine. Mrs Roberts and Mrs Masocha were also very excited to be able to show us how far the hoses spray the water!

We had lots of fun during our Christmas celebrations! We took part in a fantastic production with reception called 'The Easy Cheesy Nativity'. All of the children did a fantastic job and we were all very proud of them!

We also had a Christmas party where Santa came to see all of the children. It was very exciting!

We were all very tired by the end of the Christmas festivities, but it was worth it!
