EYFS – Nursery
Heritage Week
We have been celebrating Heritage Week by wearing our traditional clothes into school. We enjoyed learning about other cultures and seeing all the different clothes from around the world.
Gym Tots
Nursery has enjoyed their first Gym Tots session with our expert gymnast teacher Natasha! For our first lesson we learnt how to balance across a bench and explore different ways of travelling.
Exciting Storytelling!
Nursery has enjoyed working with Plunge, our actress in residence to recreate ‘imaginative experiences’ from the story ‘It’s Ok to be Different.’
EYFS Sports Day 2017
On Thursday 13th July our Nursery and Reception pupils donned their t-shirts, shorts and trainers as they ran, jumped, danced and threw, as part of this year’s EYFS Sports Day. Thank you to all the parents who came along to support and cheer them on.
Healthy Lifestyles
As part of Healthy Lifestyle Week, Nursery made fruit salad to eat during snack time. We enjoyed tasting the many wonderful and delicious fruits bought from the local greengrocers, particularly the pineapple and watermelon!
EYFS Induction Evenings
Early Years parents and pupils were invited to attend an open evening at Keir Hardie to support pupils with their transition into Reception or new starters to our Nursery setting. Pupils had the chance to visit their classroom, meet the Early Years team and taste the school menu to get them school ready for September! …
Nursery Art Homework Project
Nursery pupils have been working extremely hard with their parents over the half-term holiday to design these fabulous 3D models of the Three Little Pigs houses. Pupils thought very carefully about the structure and materials they would need to use to make the house sturdy and strong against the wrath of the big bad wolf!
Making cakes for the Fairtrade bake sale
As part of Fairtrade week, Nursery learnt about the journey of the cocoa bean and used Fairtrade chocolate to make rice crispies chocolate cakes for the Fairtrade bake sale.
Ducklings!
We’ve had some new arrivals in nursery…the ducklings have finally hatched! We’ve observed that ducklings have waterproof feathers to keep them warm and dry and webbed feet to keep them afloat.
Mini Beast mosaic-making
Nursery has enjoyed designing mosaics of the following minibeasts; bee, butterfly, ladybird and dragonfly. We used recycled materials from home to create our designs – come and have a look at our amazing creations in the playground!
