The children had a lovely time exploring our school woods. We took buckets to collect leaves and sticks for our indoor activities and also enjoyed listening to the Gruffalo book before heading back inside.

It was wonderful to see so many parents at our story session in the school library. We walked through the wardrobe to our magical library where Mrs Bah read ‘Who Lives Here? by Julia Donaldson to the parents and children. They all then enjoyed exploring the rest of the library together. Once back in the nursery the parents continued to enjoy sharing books with their children.

This week we had our very first visit to our school library. We listened to one of our favourite books ‘Dear Zoo’ then had a little bit more time to explore our wonderful library.

Instilling a love of reading early gives a child a head start on expanding their vocabulary, building independence and self-confidence. It helps children learn to make sense not only of the world around them but also people, building social-emotional skills and of course, imagination.

We look forward to inviting parents very soon to our lovely library session to share this wonderful experience together. Enjoy the photos.

Last week we created wonderful art with our very own hands. Some of us liked to make handprints with open fingers, with one hand or both hands and others weren’t quite so sure about the gloopy paint on their hands. Well done 2 year olds, it was so much fun!
