Thank you to all our adults who came along to stay and play. We hope you had as much fun as we did. The children very much enjoyed showing you how far we have come since staring nursery showing you new skills, new friendships and new songs that we have have been learning.
It has been history week in school. Children in year 1 have been learning about World War 1 and Year 2 have been learning about World War 2. All children in school have been remembering those who have fought and died in both world wars and more recent conflicts. To mark remembrance 2019, today on Armistice day, some children went to the West Park Cenotaph to represent our school in paying our respects. We held a two minute silence in school and all classes have made a class poppy wreath. This afternoon we held a very special assembly. We talked about why we remember and each class presented their wreath very respectfully. The wreaths are very beautiful and will be proudly displayed so that we can continue to remember.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Welcome to Nursery!
We have had a very busy first few weeks in nursery. We have been learning how to share and to be kind to friends. We can take part in large and small group times. We have played outside in the yard, in the park and have even dressed our selves to jump in the puddles when its raining. Ask your child about our autumn songs, Big Red Combine Harvester and Autumn Leaves, we have been doing wonderful singing with actions.
The Nursery visited Hall Hill Farm. We traveled on a coach and enjoyed looking out the window and talking to our friends as we were very excited for our journey.
At the farm we met lots of different animals. Some animals were small and we could hold them on our knees and stroke their soft fur or feathers. We could recall lots of different facts that we had learnt in nursery about the animals. We fed some of the bigger animals too, the lamb needed a bottle of milk and was very hungry. The goats ate food out of hands which we knew to keep very flat so the goats tongue tickled our fingers.
We had a ride on a tractor which was very bumpy. The farmer took us around the farm on the tractor and we saw lots more different animals including wallabies, lamas and alpacas.
At lunch time we enjoyed a picnic together in the barn and we were able to play in the big indoor play area racing down the slide and climbing through the obstacles, having fun with our friends.
We had a very busy day at the farm and some of us even had a little snooze on the bus ride home.
A huge well done to all of the children, parents and staff for the fantastic entries into the Easter egg decorating competition. The effort was outstanding. Keep your eyes peeled for the winners! But for now enjoy looking at our amazing entries.
We have been talking about people who help us at Nursery. Police Officer Dan came to visit us at Nursery today. He brought his patrol car and we were able to explore inside and pretended to drive and turned on the blue flashing lights. PC Dan also brought along some police uniform. We tried on different police hats and clothing.
Jamie has made a great start to our battery recycling challenge ‘The Big Battery Hunt’. He brought in a whole jar of batteries that he had collected with his Grandad. Well done Jamie!
Please keep bringing your old batteries into school.

The Nursery went on a Bear Hunt to Boldon Lodge. We went swishy swashy through the ribbons, splash splosh through the puddle and squelch squelch through the mud. We found the bear!
We enjoyed hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows around the campfire.
