Mother’s Day stay and play

The children welcomed their mums and other influential women to our class for our Mother’s Day stay and play session. The children gave their mum a special piece of work that they had prepared, writing about the reasons why they love their mum so much. We shared a special story and song together and then the children were able to spend some special time exploring the Mother’s Day themed activities in the area. 

During spring 1 there was a very exciting delivery in EYFS! Farmer Michael had brought us some duck eggs! The children were able to observe the eggs and after a few days they started to hatch! We then got to care for our four cute ducklings for the next week. The children gained so much knowledge from this experience, across all areas of learning, including learning about life cycles, finding our about the many different species of duck and how to care for animals, as well as using it as an opportunity to explore creatively. 

Early Years are looking forward to The Easter Bunny arriving and are preparing to make him feel very welcome .

This half term in Nursery we have really enjoyed sensory play in the moon sand and practising our fine motor skills by painting and drawing. We also really enjoyed dressing up time and taking on the roles of ‘People Who Help Us’.
