A week full of finding out. On Monday we went on an adventure to find out about wheat! Our friend Pip took us to a field of wheat. We explored how the wheat was cut down and separated into seeds and stalks by the combine harvester, before it went off to be ground into flour. We were then ready to make bread!!! We buttered and ate the bread at snack time, it was so yummy we made more the following day!
We have been even busier this week with our learning challenges. We have practised our:
- writing 
- numbers 
- sorting 
- shapes - as well as tending the garden. We swept up nine bags of leaves and planted some rosemary. The children have put it in our small green house and are checking it every day incase it needs a spray of water. - All week we have been dancing…in the garden and around the nursery and on Wednesday we joined enrichment afternoon with reception. Mrs. Harrison taught us some fabulous dance moves so we could samba around the hall…watch out Strictly Come Dancing! 
Worship
This week our worship has centred around Harvest. We all have said ‘thank you to God for our wonderful world and everything he has provided for us. We sang the hymn ‘All things bright and beautiful’ to focus our minds on how beautiful our world really is and how we are all tasked with taking good care of it. On Thursday morning nursery joined the whole school for our Harvest Festival. A big ‘thank you for all your generous donations.
As we have been in a dancing mood we celebrated in nursery by dancing The Harvest Samba. Click here to have a go at home!
This week your child will come home this week with a special Luce key ring. Luce, the official mascot of the Jubilee 2025. Luce is a pilgrim dressed as a typical traveler: a yellow anorak to protect herself from the elements, dirty boots that bear witness to the path she has already traveled, a missionary cross around her neck and the pilgrim's staff in her hand. Particularly evocative are Luce's eyes, which shine with an intense light: they symbolize the hope that is born in the heart of every pilgrim, and reflect the desire for spirituality and connection with the divine. They act as a reminder of the universal message of peace and brotherhood. The choice of a mascot like Luce is part of a broader context, aimed at reaching new generations and promoting intergenerational dialogue. The mascot not only represents the Jubilee, but is also a symbol of community, of welcome and of sharing.
Lastly, can I just say what a fabulous half term it has been. We have been on lots of adventure, some funny, some scary but we have all enjoyed being and learning together. Please have a good rest if you can over the half term because when we get back we have lots more adventures to go on…and Christmas! Nursery will reopen after the holidays on Monday 3rd November.
Stay safe and God Bless
