The children talked about how they could send their message to their friends and the local community about keeping litter off the streets. The children made signs "Dont throw rubbish on the floor" "Please use the bins"

Today the children welcomed Piper back to Nursery. The children explored the drawings, photographs and models they had created based upon last week's community walk. They remembered and talked about lots of things.

The children used loose parts and materials to make a forest

This week the children have been noticing lots of litter and rubbish on their way into nursery. The children decided they wanted to help. "Why don't people put the rubbish in the bin, I do and I am 3". The children wore high viz jackets and collected 3 bags full of rubbish and put it in the Nursery bin.

Today some children noticed that the allotment looked different. They found that the potatoes are growing taller, the strawberries are beginning to change colour from green to red and that the lettuce is ready to pick. Do you have an allotment or grow any of your own fruit and vegetables? We would love to hear about it.

The G2 used red, white and blue icing to decorate their own biscuits. They look yummy!!

To celebrate the Queen's Jubilee the children have been decorating their own Jubilee biscuits for a picnic later.

The wet weather at the beginning of the week helped to refresh our garden. Early in the morning some of the children were able to spot lots of snails hidden camouflaged between wet leaves and under wet logs. The children carefully observed the snails and talked about what they already knew about snails. The children quickly began to count the snails and soon they talked about how many there were, guesses to how many they might find and recounts as more snails were added. They compared size, colour, pattern and speed.

This week the G2 children have been using their hands, fingers and trucks to make large marks with paint and together they made large pieces of collaborative art work.

Paintings of insects and a clay model of a spider with rainbow legs!

The children made a wonderful thank you card to thank the Bug Man for bringing his friends along to Nursery. Look at that huge stick insect!

The children had a super time looking at the various animals that came to visit us.

The children had a fantastic time when the Fire Engine arrived at Nursery. Don't panic, no real fire!

Various paintings the child did following the visit by the local Fire men and their engine!
