This week Nursery have been reading Jasper’s Beanstalk and have enjoyed planting lots of beans in the greenhouse.  They are very exited to take care of them and watch them grow.

This week in nursery we have been learning all about Chinese New Year.  This year, it is the Year of the Snake, and we have been listening to the story of the Great Chinese Race.  We have been very busy making yummy Chinese stir fry with noodles.  We have also created an amazing dragon and made up our own dragon dance to music.   Finally, we had lots of fun counting coins into our lucky red money wallets.

This week Nursery have enjoyed reading The Tiger Who Came To Tea.  The children have have been making their own sandwiched, biscuits and invitations for their tea party.  They even invited the Tiger and made him a huge plate of food.

Nursery have had and amazing party day with lots of fun and laughter.

Well done to the Nursery children who shared their Christmas Nativity with their friends and family this afternoon.  They did an amazing performance as they sang and danced, we are so proud of them!

A group of our Nursery parents and carers came into school this morning to begin their Early Words Together workshops. The programme, delivered by South Tyneside Council Family Hubs, gives our parents and carers the chance to spend quality time with their child through a range of language and communication focused activities. This includes sharing books and stories, singing songs and rhymes, playing with letters and sounds and drawing as part of the early stages of learning to read and write. The first session was all about supporting talk through imaginative play, early years practitioners supported our group to develop listening skills and build vocabulary through shared talk and use of imagination. It was a lovely session filled with plenty of fun and lots of rich language.

This week in nursery they have learnt about animals that hibernate.
