In Nursery we have been reading the story Owl Babies written by Martin Waddell.

We have been acting out the story using puppets and have made our own owl babies using feathers and coloured paper. We created an owl investigation table and an owl reading area.

Settling in

Our first few weeks back to Nursery have been all about ensuring that the children settle in, understand the rules and routines and begin to establish secure relationships with the adults and their peers.

Well done to all our children for settling so well.

They saw cars, buses, lorries, trucks, motorbikes and bicycle’s.

In nursery we have been looking at Minibeasts. We have been learning about the different kinds and exploring where they live.
