Welcome to our Autumn Newsletter, we have certainly seen a variety of weather over the last few weeks, however this did not stop our children or staff from having fun adventures throughout the nursery.

Baby Cottage

’Beep beep’ starting with our babies who have enjoyed spending as much time as possible outside, playing on the swing and the bikes in particular!
They have also really loved our sensory lights and getting stuck into messy play activities too.

Toddlers

Stomping our way over to our toddlers who have been making some crazy colourful monsters by splatting paint spots. When they hit their spoon they all shouted “splat” and watched to see what monsters appeared on their paper!
Toddlers have also been using natural resources to make cakes in the garden, they all worked together to hunt and gather mud, sand, sticks and grass. They took it in turns to add different ingredients to the bowl, would anybody like to try a cake?

Rising 3’s

Zooming over to our Rising 3’s who have loved visiting space week this month, looking through exciting new space books and learning all about space. They then had the challenge of creating their own rockets to blast off over to the moon tray, following on by practising their fine motor skills creating space pictures and exploring play doh by adding different materials for stars and planets.
Our Rising 3’s have also recently been showing great interest in shapes, so we headed out to our garden to take part in game of shape hop!

Preschool

Stepping over to our preschoolers who have loved being outdoors starting with an obstacle course thinking of different ways to move including balancing, jumping and spinning. They then took part in a bug hunt, which made great obstacle drawings. Lastly they headed out into our front garden for a conker hunt, which were great to practice our counting and make great messy play tools too.
