It was so lovely to see all the children back in Nursery this week after our extra long half term!  The children jumped straight back into their play and, thanks to some very mild weather, we spent a lot of time outside…

Over the break, we suggested some home learning activities on Seesaw and we hope you found these useful.  One of the activities was to create your own dinosaur at home and we were so impressed by the results!  All week we have been admiring the pictures and models that have been sent in and adding them to our Steggy display.  It is no problem at all if you didn’t have a chance to create a dinosaur at home as we also gave all the children, including those who had already done one at home, the chance to paint one in Nursery.

I promised the children I would post a photo of Steggy and our all amazing artwork this weekend, so please do take a moment to have a look at it with your child…(and please note, if you cannot see your child’s artwork, it just means we haven’t put it up yet – we still have a few to add!)…we hope it makes you smile!

As always, we read some super stories during story-time this week.  We read the old classic ‘Peace at Last’ by Jill Murphy which you can revisit here:

And we also enjoyed ‘While we can’t hug’ by Eoin McLaughlin.  The children really understood this story and came up with lots of different ways to let someone know they are loved – well done Nursery!

On Wednesday, we joined the whole school and country in being silent for two minutes to remember all the brave people who have died in wars.  We watched this touching CBeebies video to help us with our quiet thinking on Remembrance Day and talked about why people wear poppies on this special day:

Have a lovely weekend everyone and see you on Monday!
