This week in nursery we have been working closely with drama teachers who needed help from the children to retell Little Red Riding Hood. The children were able to recall characters from the story and show understanding of the sequence of the traditional tale. We then explored the garden area where we found hidden objects including a small robot, frog, dinosaur and snake amongst other objects from a story telling suitcase. The children were given opportunities to listen to role play stories outside, choose objects of interest and make up their own story based on story props. Lovely creative and imaginative skills being used to tell their own stories choosing their own characters. We look forward to building on this drama and storytelling project after half term. We have been enjoying exploring water outside in this lovely sunshine and have been taking care of our garden including watering the flowers and composting the fruit peel outdoors.

This week in nursery we have been exploring clay in the art studio using a variety of tools to mould with, make marks in and handle this sensory texture. We have begun to look at the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar through making small caterpillars in the play dough and continued our interest in pirate play particularly with our role play boat. On the interactive whiteboard the children have been reflecting on their past activities and experiences looking at their online learning journals. It was lovely to listen to their comments and about what they remembered from experiences in nursery. The children enjoyed spotting pictures of themselves and their friends. We finished our week with a great Stay and Play to celebrate our recent ESTYN inspection report and becoming a Rights Respecting School.

This week in nursery the children have been really engaged in pirate play both indoors and outdoors. We have been busy making pirate hats, dressing up in role play pirate outfits, exploring the small world pirate boats and have been busy creating our own pirate boat in our garden. It's been an exciting week searching for treasure in our large sand pit outdoors! We finished our week with a whole school trip to Mountain View Ranch searching for the Gruffalo!
