Nursery took part in the Maze Challenge.  We are raising money for the Tanzanian Orphans, Ravenscliffe School and the Crossley Heath Sports Hall. 

  It took us a little while to think about how to get to the middle of the maze

but WE DID!!!! 

We decided to feed the birds in our school gardens.

Everyone helped to make bird feeders to hang on the trees outside.  We each made a bird feeder to take home as well, so that we can help the birds in our gardens at home. 

Here, you can see us helping to hang the bird feeders on our school trees.

Mr Hussain, the dentist, came into Nursery to talk to  us about taking care of our teeth.  He told us lots of interesting things.  We now know which foods are good or bad for our teeth.

All of us agreed that we will try even harder to brush our teeth very carefully.

It was really exciting finding out what it looks like inside a pumpkin.

We cooked the pumpkin and made our own soup.

 Everyone agreed that our soup was delicious.

Yummy!  That was tasty!

Nursery children love designing and building with our giant wooden bricks.

Working collaboratively together.

Balancing carefully!

Peepo!  Look what we made!

 These children designed a special walkway.

“Steady everyone!” 

We are taking great care to balance carefully.

“Yes!  I’ve done it!” 

“All aboard The Gleddings Express - I hope you know where we’re going Mr Train Driver!”

During our ‘Green Week’, we made some sticky green models and enjoyed green threading.

This little girl has been busy making a birthday cake for her friends in Nursery.

Our new Nursery class of 2009 - 2010 love their new school.

Look at some of the exciting things that we have been doing!

We made our own sandwiches to take on a teddy bears’ picnic (the chocolate spread ones were the best!)

Here you can see what a wonderful sticky time we had making clay models.

This little girl is having lots of fun hand printing and counting.

Everyday our teacher reads us a story: - Sometimes we take it in turns to be the teacher.

Green Fingers in the Nursery!

Now that the lovely summer sunshine has arrived our Nursery children have been busy planting sunflower seeds in the garden.  We wonder how tall they are going to grow?  Watch this space to follow their growth!

Our Role Play area has changed to a busy Veterinary Surgery. Here you can see the Nursery Vet taking care of a poorly cat.

The Nursery children collected some twigs to make an Easter Tree.  This little girl spent a long time concentrating carefully as she hung the Easter eggs onto the branches.

The Nursery have been learning about children in China.  To celebrate Chinese New Year we made Chinese lanterns and masks and enjoyed Chinese food.  We had great fun pretending to be a Chinese dragon!

Will this piece fit here? Hand-eye coordination is developing through activities such as jigsaw puzzles.

Nursery children have been learning how to spell and to write their own names. We each made the first letter of our own name out of salt dough. Here you can see us decorating our letters by painting them with patterns.
  
 

We change our Role Play area regularly and at the moment it is a Baby Clinic. We are learning how to take good care of our babies.

We enjoy playing games together on the computer.

Budding Nursery artists!
