This week the children have been thinking about what they want to share in their assembly next week. They have been busy practising a dance and using the microphone to say their words clearly. The children are doing really well and are looking forward to showing off their learning.
The children got to spend a morning in their new classes on Thursday and loved it. They are very excited to be moving up.
The afternoon Nursery enjoyed playing board games on Thursday, They were able to take turns and thought about who had the most and who would be the winner.
Afternoon Nursery also had a visit from Les the Beekeeper on Friday. he has been helping Sammy's family. We saw a real hive and touched some honeycomb and bees wax. Les gave us some honeycomb to put on our discovery table so that Morning Nursery can see it too.
Next week is our final week in Nursery before we break up for the summer. Morning Nursery Sharing Assembly is on Wednesday at 9.15 and Afternoon Nursery is at 2.45.

Holidays
This week we have been learning about holidays and reading holiday related stories.
In Maths we had to use our problem solving skills and find as many ways as possible to decorate a sandcastle using 6 shells. We were very impressed that some of the children wanted to record their findings in different ways by drawing and writing numbers.
The children have loved exploring floating and sinking in the Discovery Area. They have had some great theories about why some things float for example because of gravity, they do or don't have holes, they are big or small or hard or soft. Take a look in our Science Investigation book for more comments and photos.
All the children had ice lollies on Friday because it was so hot.
The children have been really enjoying the outside play because the weather had been so nice. They have enjoyed building sandcastles in the sandpit. They have used the den building area to create pathways and dens in the trees.
In P.E. the children have started learning a dance to the 'Ugly Bug Ball.' The children enjoyed finding different ways of moving to be different bugs and copying dance moves from Mrs Chadwick and Mrs Keith.
Next week we will be continuing to think about holidays and moving to our new classes and schools.
On Monday please come along to Open Evening from 5.00pm to 7.00pm. You will have an opportunity to look at the wonderful things your child has been doing in Nursery this year and go and look around the other classes in the school.
On Thursday it is our transition morning when the children will spend some time in their new Reception classes.
On Wednesday 19th July the children will have their final sharing assembly. The morning performance is at 9.05 and the afternoon performance is at 2.45.

Aeroplanes
It was lovely to come into Nursery this week and find butterflies in the butterfly net. The children enjoyed watching them feed from the oranges and fly around the net. On Friday we released the butterflies as it was sunny. The first few were desperate to fly away. In the afternoon they were more reluctant so the children got to pass around an orange with them on and observe them feeding before they flew away.
We went to Woodlands on Monday and enjoyed looking for the different bugs and insects. We found slugs, ants, spiders, flies, centipedes and woodlice. We used little pots to observe them through the magnifying glass. We also did a scavenger hunt looking for different shaped leaves, long and short sticks, stones, something bumpy and something smooth.
We planted some grass seeds and thought about what they would need to help them grow. After putting some compost in the pot we added the seeds and watered them. We will be bringing them home next week, once the grass has started growing.
We were lucky to have a real pilot come into Nursery and talk about his job and the roles of other members of staff. The children absolutely loved Mr Irwin's visit and it helped to improve the quality of the role play which has been an airport this week. The children are all taking on a whole range of roles in the role play.
The Morning Nursery made a plane out a huge box on Friday. We've had a wide variety of planes made out of the large construction and they've included jet engines, windows and the cockpit.
Next week our theme is 'Holidays.'
Our song of the week is Five Little Sandcastles.
