We have been learning about the Easter story this week and we have been busy making our Easter cards. We hope you like them. The children have tried hard to challenge themselves by writing their names independently, and some have copied other words too. They have been feeling very proud of themselves.
We have developed our outside area by moving the instruments from the reception playground to outside Nursery. The children helped to set up a stage using the blocks and enjoyed performing to the music we played outside. This will be our new creative area and we are looking forward to developing it further with the children's help.
Next week we will continuing learning about Easter and comparing it with the Hindu festival of Colours; Holi. Paints at the ready! We will also be using the computer and using the mouse to create Holi inspired pictures.
Please could you talk to your children about the Easter weekend so that they can share something they have done with the rest of the group.
We hope you enjoy the Easter weekend and we look forward to hearing all about it next week.
Happy Easter!!

Inside Out
We have finally got the blog up and running again after some changes in usernames and passwords!! We will try to keep you updated with weekly blogs on what the children have been doing and what they will be learning the following week.
This half term we have been looking at creatures that live inside and out. This started with a dinosaur hunt in the outdoor area. The children loved looking for dinosaurs and were very excited to find a baby one inside a dinosaur egg!
We enjoyed retelling story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar during book week. We counted fruits and made our butterfly Mother's Day cards. Professor Pango Mango made us laugh with his funny rhymes and we were lucky enough to have the Year 6 children come and read to us.
We have been looking at creatures in shells the last couple of weeks. We had some snail visitors and looked at them eating homemade lettuce soup. Some of us were even brave enough to hold them.
This week we read Sharing a Shell by Julia Donaldson and listened for rhyming words and were told the story of How Tortoise Got his Broken shell. We have been challenging the children to use 2d shapes to mend the shell. We have also been mixing colours.
Next week we will be learning about Easter by listening to the Easter Story. We will also be discussing what the children do to celebrate Easter. Please talk to your child about what they will be doing Easter weekend so that they can get involved in discussions.
We will be singing 'Hot Cross Buns' and revising the letter sounds we have been introduced to - s, a, t, p, i, n, m, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, b, f. The children will practise recognising these and will be thinking of words which start with these sounds.
