Wear it wild day in Nursery

 Wear it Wild Day

The children in Nursery came dressed as many different animals today, and donated money to the WORLDWIDE FUND FOR NATURE, WWF.  

We learnt that the weather in changing in many places, some places are too dry, some too wet and in some places the ice is melting.  The world is getting warmer and this is not good for plants, animals or people.  We talked about things we can do to help. 

Why not try some of these this week?

• Walk, instead of using the car, for short journeys
• Turn off the lights or TV when not in the room
• Turn off taps when brushing our teeth, try not to waste water
• Using both sides of the paper when drawing
• Use only one paper towel when drying hands

Enjoy looking at our costumes.  Can you spot.....

• wild animals
• farm animals
• extinct animals
• pets 
• imaginary animals

Mrs Wishy-Washy

Mrs Wishy-Washy

In Nursery we were surprised to come in and find some muddy footprints in the classroom!  It was the hook to get us excited about our new story, Mrs Wishy Washy by Jo Cowley.

We have enjoyed listening to and sharing the story.  She is a farmer and has cows, pigs and ducks on her farm.  The animals wake up after a rainy weekend and find a muddy puddle.  Mrs Wishy Washy gets a shock at seeing the muddy animals and puts them into the tub for a wash.  After she goes back into the house the animals see "the lovely mud" again.  

To explore the story further we have moved like different animals, waddling like a duck, stomping like a cow, wallowing like pigs, jumping like a frog.  We also enjoyed acting out the story and cleaning up the mud we discovered in the classroom!

Decorating Easter biscuits in Nursery

 Decorating Easter biscuits in Nursery

This week children enjoyed learning about the Christian celebration of Easter.  We decorated egg shaped biscuits and then enjoyed eating them.

Children used a spoon to spread the icing out and then carefully sprinkled decorations onto the top.  

Children said the biscuits tasted "yummy", "good", "so sweet" and "nice". 
One child said "My cookie is the best.  So colourful and chocolatey.  I worked really hard!"

Enjoy looking at the pictures of our fun activity.
