What a fantastic first week back we’ve had after the Christmas holidays! The children have settled in beautifully, quickly getting back into our class routines with such enthusiasm. It’s been wonderful to see how well everyone has embraced the return, and we’ve been especially impressed by how welcoming the children have been to our new friends joining the nursery. Everyone is working together so kindly and with great team spirit!
This week, we’ve been learning all about trains! The children had so much fun experimenting with different shapes by dipping our toy trains into paint and creating their very own tracks. It was a creative and messy activity, and the results were fantastic! We also explored the magic of magnets and how the trains could stick together. The children were amazed to see how the magnets worked, and many of them described it as “magic”—such a fun and exciting way to learn about forces!
Today, we had a wonderful time exploring the signs of winter during our forest school session. The children loved looking for clues of the season in the outdoors and discovering how nature changes. After that, we all had a great afternoon in PE, using the climbing frames in the hall. The children showed such confidence and enjoyed challenging themselves on the equipment, demonstrating amazing balance and coordination. It was a lovely end to a busy week!
