This week we continued with our work around the story We’re going on a bear hunt by Michael Rosen. The children have been working hard on making bear masks and scenes from the story for our class display. We have completed pictures and writing about our favourite parts of the story . When our work was complete, we asked two friends to talk about our work and say what they liked best about it. We also asked if they could say what might make it better next time. Great job everyone!

This week we have completed our Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration display. We have been outside flying the kites we made last week . Everyone has been working hard to put the finishing touches to our role play cave and have fallen in love with the story We’re Going on a Bear Hunt By Michael Rosen. We have started our activities that support the story. We have  discussed  and drawn pictures of our favourite part of the story . We are also making bear masks from paper plates. The grass seeds that we sowed on 15th April are becoming the talk of the school, We almost have the long wavy grass mentioned in the story. We have done lots of counting and shape spotting around school. Another busy week in Nursery!

This week we have explored British culture, traditions and values as we have celebrated our Queen’s 90th birthday.

We have made kites, flags & bunting, red roses and sandwiches as we prepared for yesterday’s St George’s Day street party which was really great fun. We picnicked, played games and danced in the sun. At the end of the day we all were presented with a commemorative crown  as a memento of a very special day.

As part of our celebrations, every class focussed on a different time in the Queen’s life . We looked at 2000-16. We have explored the Olympic games hosted in England in 2012. We have also looked at the celebrations for The Queen’s Golden and Diamond Jubilees.

We have talked about our special friends  the things we have in common ,our differences and how we should respect the things that make others unique and special to us.

This week two local police officers joined us for fruit and milk. They told us all about their job and let us have a good look at their uniform. Another great moment in Nursery!
