EYFS Pirate Day, by Miss Howells

Date: 11th Apr 2018 @ 4:25pm

Our topic this term is pirates so we decided to invite our pirate friend Ron to hold an exciting day for the children in the EYFS. Our morning began with an interactive talk about pirates learning all about pirates and their adventures. We used our thinking brain to ask Pirate Ron lots of questions which we were bursting to know! Pirate Ron then told us a story about a princess who had her treasure stolen by cheeky pirates. We really enjoyed the puppet show and helping Pirate Ron keep the princess' treasure safe. In the afternoon, Nursery had lots of fun creating parrots and making repeating patterns on their new neckerchiefs. Reception spent the afternoon following Pirate Rons instructions by making their own pirate/mermaid hand puppets. They got really creative using lots of different materials. All of the children in the EYFS had a fantastic day and are really enthusiastic to learn even more about pirates in the next few weeks. Thank you Pirate Ron for your visit!

Easter Cooking in the Nursery, by Mrs Hall

Date: 30th Mar 2018 @ 3:21pm

Where does chocolate come from and how is it made?

New Life - our chicks hatch!, by Mrs Hall

Date: 8th Mar 2018 @ 10:59pm

Our special delivery of eggs arrived in the EYFS. They were kept in a cosy warm

incubator as mother hen was on the farm.

After waiting patiently, we saw the eggs begin to crack as the chicks were hatching.

At first the chicks were wet but soon dried to a fluffy yellow, then they began to grow 

feathers.  Each day they ate chick crumb and drank water too.
