We have been putting our final touches to our groups model houses today. Listening to their ideas and thoughts was fascinating. They really did put a lot of input into their designs. The Children were able to discuss different homes and houses that they have seen and visited. We’ve had such a fun time doing them and would love to see you taking part in this at home by making your very own model house. This can be from any source of materials you have spare. Then please share your designs by sending them into evidence me, parent share. 🏠

Here in nursery red and purple group have been using the real tools and measuring tapes on our hand made work bench gifted to us by the wonderful Mr Thomas. We had so much fun remembering to keep ourselves and our tools safe. With the pieces the children cut and drilled we are making a model house. We’ve taken the inspiration from the work men that are building houses next to the nursery.

Here we are at the end of what has been a really strange academic year. Despite having an unexpected break at home, the children came happily back to nursery and we have had a fantastic time. They’ve shown a wonderful attitude towards learning and their achievements have been numerous and their smiles have been infectious.

All of us here at Newdale nursery are going to miss them dearly and wish them well in their new journeys. Thank you for all your continued support from home and through out the year.

Nursery took part in the mini Olympics today by using the P.E equipment to make an assault course.

Here at mighty oaks this week it has been jam packed with activities. The children have worked hard on using their phonics knowledge to decode tricky words and finding sounds around nursery, we even took the stepping stones to the forest school and played wood words with them.

Some of the children used their fine motor control to make, explore and play with the play-dough they made different markings using the tools and models.

Then they got to meet Sam and Sally the puppets to talk about their new schools. The children had lots of questions and worries about starting and some great ideas of what it might be like. They made a mind map to show all the different thoughts.

Well we’ve done it again! Fun, fun, fun but not so much sun this week. However this did not stop us from our learning and planned activities.

Red and purple group have been working really hard reading the tricky words and sentences given to them, as you can see by their little faces they’re very proud of themselves and rightly so! Amazing 😉

Orange and Blue group have had lots of fun experimenting and exploring this week. They made paper aeroplanes and then tested who’s traveled the furthest ✈️ their fun did not stop there as their trip to the woods for some outdoor learning looks great! Working together as a team and climbing trees 🌲

Then Green and Yellow group have been busy making things to go inside our Covid time Capsule. They have worked really hard on writing for these and that’s clear to see. ✍🏼

Our Covid time capsule is nearly ready to be buried. The children have loved taking part in this talking about how the virus effected them, their experiences and how the ares is going to change. They have took photos of the land that they can see from the garden with all the construction work going on. I have been amazed by them and their views of the virus and the world they live in. ❤️🌈

On Thursday the 16th all of nursery will be celebrating their leavers by having an end of term party 😊 🎉

If your children attend this date they are more than welcome to dress up ready to take part in the fun and games we will be having. I hear there might be a little treat for the best dancer.

We will be getting party food for the children to have as a little snack, so please don’t send your children in with food like we have asked and done in previous years.

Thank you all, let the celebrations begin.

Due to the weather forecasted for tomorrow, we have decided to cancel our sports day. Hopefully the week following will be better for us to go ahead. Thank you
