The Nursery children have had great fun today making moving toys. We drew faces, curled paper, used glue and tape to attach card and craft straws. I think you will all agree that the children have done a fantastic job making our caterpillars!
At our stay-and -play, we had a great time showing our grown-ups some of the things that we enjoy doing in Nursery. It was lovely to see lots of the adults and to show them how amazing their children are!
We had a brilliant day celebrating World Book Day in Nursery. The children’s costumes were brilliant – we had Matildas, Amanda Thripps, Willy Wonkas, Oompa Loopmas, Enormous Crocodiles, and lots more!
The children had lots of fun in the school hall, exploring the Roald Dahl themed activities and games organised by Mrs Machin. They searched through Mr Twit’s spaghetti, threw food into Bruce Bogtrotter’s mouth, tossed ‘good’ and ‘bad’ eggs, tried to pop Violet Beauregarde’s bubblegum… and much more!
Back in class, we watched the animated version of the ‘Enormous Crocodile’. The children enjoyed retelling the story, using pictures from the story and toy animals. They also created their very own ‘Enormous Crocodile’ paper plate craft.
What a fun-filled day!

As part of LGBT+ History Month, we have been talking about Dr Sophia Jex-Blake in nursery today.
Sophia was born in 1840 in England, and she was a curious and smart young girl. She loved
learning and dreamed of becoming a doctor, but back then, people thought that only
boys could be doctors.
However, Sophia was not one to give up easily. She decided to challenge this. She worked
hard and studied on her own, proving that girls could be just as smart and capable as
boys. Sophia’s determination caught the attention of other brave girls who shared her
dream.
Eventually, Sophia fought for her right to attend medical school, and in 1869, she became
the first woman to enrol at the University of Edinburgh to study medicine. This was a
huge achievement, and Sophia didn’t stop there. She went on to inspire more girls to
pursue their dreams, breaking down barriers in the process, by establishing two medical
schools – one in London and the other in Edinburgh.
Sophia Jex-Blake showed the world that everyone, regardless of gender, should have
the chance to follow their passions and make a difference. She paved the way for many
girls who dream of becoming doctors today.
The children had great fun with our doctor-themed tuff tray today – and agree that it doesn’t matter what gender you are, you can do the job you dream of doing!
The nursery children have enjoyed exploring the trim trail on the main school yard today. After a very windy start to the week, we were happy to get outside for some outdoor fun. We practiced our climbing and balancing skills – we were all incredibly brave, attempting lots of challenging obstacles.
We’re already looking forward to our next visit to the trim trail!
