Learning in Nursery
We have had lots of fun this week in nursery. We have been learning about feelings and emotions, looking in the mirror and changing our faces to show different emotions. We had lots of fun exploring the outdoors this week. We had to wear our wellies because of the rain and we loved it! We have talked about birthdays and why they are special. We created cakes with the play dough and on the workshop table. We added candles and counted them. We also created our own birthday cards and had lots of fun. Today we have talked about why we are special and what makes us all different. We looked at hair colour, different families, what we like and dislike. One thing we talked about was that we are all special and unique. The children then drew around their hands and used ink to print their fingerprints. We have had a very busy week and had lots of fun along the way. Thank you to everyone who has sent in photos, we really appreciate it.

Nursery And Pre-School - PSHE - Wellbeing Hour
To mark Children's Mental Health Week, the children in both Nursery and Preschool dedicated a special hour of their session to focus solely on having FUN! This child-led "Wellbeing Hour" was designed to promote happiness and emotional well-being by allowing the children to choose their favorite activities. The children decided exactly how they wanted to spend their time, which led to a wonderful variety of experiences. Some chose to play their favorite games or head to the hall for energetic play, while others enjoyed bowling and eventually settling down for a film to finish the session. A very special highlight of the day was a visit from Dotty the Doggy, which the children absolutely loved and brought so many smiles to their faces. During this time, the children focused on positive social interactions. They played group games where they practiced the important skills of sharing and taking turns. It was wonderful to see every child fully engaged with their friends—the room was filled with laughter and happiness as they simply enjoyed being together. This celebration provided a meaningful way for the children to understand that looking after our minds and being happy with our friends and animal visitors is just as important as our other learning.
