Spring growing

In the two year old nursery this term we started off by planting some seeds, watered them and watched them start to germinate. When the seedlings got big enough we planted them into plant pots.

We planted the rest of the seedlings in the nursery garden.

Easter parents stay and play

All the 2 year old nursery parents were invited to come into nursery to do some activities with there child and an Easter egg hunt. The children and parents made some fantastic Easter baskets.

All the 2 year old nursery children took it in turns to make some chocolate crispy buns.

The children did a great job at mixing the ingredients together and spooning it into the bun cases. You all got to take one home too.

Farm animals in school

What a fantastic day we all had today when Ian’s Mobile Farm joined us in school. He brought some of his farm animals for us to meet. It was very exciting and the children were thrilled to be able to touch, brush and play with all of the animals, which included; chickens, ducks, donkeys, alpacas and goats. Meg the sheep dog was awesome at fetching her ball.
