A week of remembrance and celebrations. We have been preparing for our VE Day picnic by putting up the bunting, making union flags to wave and celebratory VE day crowns!! Luckily the sun was out to make the day FANTASTIC. it was so lovely to be out on the field with the whole school. Siblings and friends across the classes were able to eat and play together.
We started the week by watching the video that we looked at for Remembrance Day. The children were able to describe what was happening and how war made them feel and that we had all made a remembering poppy. Click here to watch again at home. We then discussed that when the fighting had finished there was peace in our country and we learnt the sign for ‘peace’. and made a ‘peace wreath’.
Take a look at our wonderful celebration!
Forest school
Last Friday it was our turn for forest school. We absolutely love it. We visited our tadpoles in their new home. Listened to environmental sounds and did some forest bathing under the canopy of the trees. It was so tranquil and calming, although it was tricky to get in to the hammock! As a treat we had juice and Jammy Dodgers!

Hello everyone,
The sunshine is still shining for us all, and the children just love playing and learning in the garden.
This week, we have been exploring the number 8. The children have been working out how many legs an octopus has (one of our friends brought a cuddly octopus into nursery and was telling their friends about its 8 legs. The children drew their own octopus and counted each leg, making sure they had 8.
As a fine motor activity we made a picture of Rapunzel with her long hair, then clipped and counted 8 pegs on to her long hair! This was tricky but the children ‘had a go’ like Tommy Turtle.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
See you all on Monday

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's blog.
We have had a very busy week of learning. We have worked very hard practising writing numbers 8. If you would like to practice at home, here is the rhyme; ‘s' to start, looking great, loop back up and there’s your 8’. Don't forget to use your duck fingers. We have also been counting out objects to 8. Why not have a go at home. I'm sure you will be amazed at how well your child can count. Don't forget to touch each object as you count it.
We then had a go at singing the number 8 rap Click here.
Thank you
Have a lovely weekend
