Mrs Hilton and Mrs Bell are absolutely proud of the many children who entered nursery this week. It was lovely to see so many smiles entering and leaving the nursery and we were super proud at how many settled into the new environment. They all listened, followed the nursery structure and the older ones made the new starters feel very welcomed. It was a fun-filled week, the children enjoyed exploring the new areas and settling into their environment, especially our new home area and sensory den. They enjoyed playing doctors and nurses, doing pencil, scissor activities, playing in the sand and water area and making new friends. We had a visit from Mrs Short (PE coach), developing different movement skills and Mrs Collins (sing education), who sang songs and played instruments with the children. What an enjoyable week!

Afternoon activities
Music activities
We have had a visit from Mrs Collins and even played our own instruments and joined singing our favourite nursery rhymes.
We also grew some cress and had a strange week when it hail stoned one day, some of them hadn’t seen hailstone that big before, so picked them up and watched them melt in their hands.
