Spring Term 2025-2026
We have had a lovely time over the last few weeks welcoming our new children to nursery and also seeing our nursery children from last term. The children have been settling back into the routines of nursery and have enjoyed building relationships with their new friends. There has been a lot of play involving sharing and turn taking and the children have enjoyed experiencing new learning together.
In class the children have enjoyed the story Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell. We have started Mantle this week and the team received a delivery. It was a box and inside we discovered a polar bear. We watched a video clip of a real life polar bear and talked about the habitat that they live in. We developed and used vocabulary such as fur, claws, teeth and paws. The team learnt about what polar bears eat and they were surprised they would eat seals, fish and eggs! The team created a cold, icy, dangerous place for the polar bear. Together with adults they created stories through play.
The activities in class have linked to the children’s learning about winter and polar bears. They have enjoyed ice exploration, snow and arctic animal play, drawing and creating polar bears and winter stories at carpet time.
We can’t wait to see what new delivery the team will receive next week!
