We have had a fantastic few weeks in the 2 year old nursery doing lots of different sports activities and practicing for sports day. The children did some great balancing on the blocks and playing with balls in the MUGA. Not forgetting that we did lots of practicing for sports day with the help from our year 6 children.

All the parents were invited to see the 2 year old sports day…

You all did amazing 2 year olds and thank you to all the parents.

We have been on mini beast hunts in the year 1 outdoor wildlife area and the school woods. We had a wonderful time exploring the pond, mini beast hotel, searching high and low for as many insects and creepy crawlies that we could find. we found ladybugs, woodlice, wriggly worms, ants and tiny beetles. The children also enjoyed listening to The Very Hungry Caterpillar story while on our little bug hunt adventures.

We made our very own lady bugs too, first we painted our paper plates red then we added the black spots.

The children enjoyed dressing up as doctors, firefighters, police officers as well as builders.

There were lots of activities to develop fine motor skills too, such as solving puzzles and colouring in.

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.

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.

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.

The children enjoyed Playing with snow and ice in the 2 year old nursery this term.

Some children said it was “very cold” but it was defiantly a different sensory feeling…

The children made some beautiful pictures using only cold colours….

All the children did some amazing balancing.

We even went outside to play when it snowed, the children where very excited.

Christmas is a very Exciting time of the year for young children, all the bright flashing lights, all the different colours and not forgetting all the singing we do.

We started Christmas off with decorating the Christmas tree

We welcomed all our parents in to the 2YO nursery for the Christmas stay and play session

all the parents help the children do Christmas crafts and to finish the session we all sang Christmas carols with the children.

Have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all our Families.

In the 2 year old nursery this term we all went outside into the school playground to collect sticks and leaves in our buckets. We looked at all the amazing different colours and shapes that the leaves are. Then we took them back to the class room to use then in our arts and crafts.

The children made some amazing pictures: leaf rubbing, leaf printing using paints & colouring with crayons using some amazing Autumn colours.
