The themes we have been learning about this term are Sunshine and Sunflowers and Move It.  

Sunshine and Sunflowers 

The children have thoroughly enjoyed learning and exploring the life cycles of butterflies and frogs. We have been very fortunate and had some caterpillars arrive at nursery.  The children were fascinated watching them grow and change.  We have released the butterflies in the nursery garden. The children said goodbye to them and watched them fly away. We planted beans, sunflowers and made cress heads. We know that plants need light and water to grow. We watched the roots grow first in the soil, before the plant sprouts above the soil. We have enjoyed watching our plants grow. We have learnt about sun safety. The children know that they need to wear a sun hat and apply sun cream, when it is sunny. 

Move it

For Move It we have learnt the importance of exercise. We know how to jump and how to jump safely off equipment that is different heights and sizes . We have played ball games practising our skills with throwing, catching, rolling and kicking. The children have also improved their climbing skills.
