This week Class 5 had a surprise when they came back into class after break on Monday. In the middle of the floor there was a plant pot with lots of seeds, cabbages, plants and a small creature.

This week in Nursery we started our topic for this term 'All About Me!'. Our learning was based on our book of the week 'My Mum and Dad Make Me Laugh!'

We enjoyed reading about a family where Mum liked spots and Dad liked stripes - and the little boy liked grey. We talked about the different animals the characters liked and the different colours in the book. We created collages using our favourite colours and used collage materials created images of our faces - they look fantastic!

In our Family Group time we have been visiting the different areas in Nursery investigating the resources,and talking about  what expectations there are about caring for our things in Nursery.

Next week we will be talking about our families. It would be fantastic if the children could bring in a photograph of their family to talk about in their Family Group.
