We have had another wonderful week in Nursery getting prepared for Christmas. Nursery have enjoyed weaving with tinsel and decorating the Christmas trees. We have enjoyed playing in the magic garden this week even though it's been very cold. Children noticed we had workmen in school and wanted to see what they are doing. We went to watch them and enjoyed seeing how they used their tools. 

Winners this week are Charlie for coming in beautifully to Nursery after having a long time off poorly and Maeve for fantastic subitising.

We also loved playing in the snow. Children liked touching the snow and ice inside too!

This week Nursery children have been learning about babies. We were very excited to welcome a visitor with a lovely baby. Nursery children thought of questions to ask to find out more about babies.
