May 2023
With the arrival of May, we started work on our ‘Bears’ topic. We were learning all about where bears live and we read many stories about Bears during our class story time each day. One of our favourite stories was ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. We had lots of fun in nursery telling the story using the different characters as they went through the mud, grass and snow! We even did our own ‘Bear Hunt’ during Around The World Week. We explored the woodland trail and managed to find the bears from all of the different countries.
Some of our parents came in to read stories in the mornings and we loved it.
Our caterpillars arrived in nursery. When they arrived they were tiny. We watched each day and they grew very quickly. The caterpillars were wriggling around each day and we loved reading the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ as well. We can’t wait until we have some butterflies in nursery.
We made good use of the field beside our nursery. We practised all of our races for Sports Day. We loved the Potato and Spoon race and the Obstacle race.
We went for several walks to our school pond and saw lots of tadpoles. We managed to fish one out and saw it wriggling about in the water. We explored the Woodland Trail and saw lots of lovely flowers and plants growing.
We are really enjoying our Fundamental Movement Skills classes with Darren. We are learning lots of new skills and having lots of fun!
At the end of May we had our ‘Woodland Trail Day’ with Ciara from The Playtrail. We went Pond Dipping, took part in a lot of outdoor activities and made S’mores.
At our Art Table we were working hard to make lots of lovely Spring pictures as well as caterpillars and butterflies.
