April 2025 News

16th Apr 2025

During April we continued our ‘People Who Help Us’ topic. Nurse Rosemary came in to tell us all about her very busy job. She checked us all out to see if we were fit and healthy. She showed us how to put on bandages on sore arms and legs!

We had a hospital role play area in nursery and the children loved being nurses, doctors and patients. We also had lots of building in nursery in our Construction role play area. The children loved wearing their hard hats and hi-vis jackets in this area. We had blocks for building, tool benches and tool kits. There were lots of things around nursery being mended.

Our exercise classes with Coach Jack ended. We loved these classes and especially all of the fantastic new skills and exercises we practised each week.

During April some parents came in to read stories to the nursery children in our Quiet Room. We love to listen to stories and it was so nice to have some Mums come in and read to the children.

We continued our Lending Library of fine motor skills games and activities. We loved our ‘homework’ each week. We had lots of fun doing these at home with our Mummy and Daddy.

As part of our getting ready to move to “Big School”, we visited both Primary One classes. We sang our songs to the Primary One children and now we know where the cloakrooms and toilets are.

At our Art Table, we were making many lovely things for Spring and Easter. We dressed up as a bunny and had our photographs taken. We went off to the Post Office to send our photographs to our parents. What a lovely Easter surprise!

At the end of April we started going to the Canteen more often to have our dinner.

Outdoors some new toys arrived and we enjoyed the lovely weather as we jumped over our new hurdles. We also were able to practise balancing on the new beams at Rainbow Cottage.

We planted some seeds in our classroom and outdoors as well. We are looking after these seeds by watering them.

The weather was beautiful during April and we even managed  a few practices for Sports Day!!

Just before the Easter holidays the Easter Bunny came to visit us and brought us lots of lovely treats.

What a busy April!
