Mrs Preston had some little visitors at Nursery so we headed over for a little peak. To our surprise, three fluffy ducklings were waddling around! We got a close look at their features, we noticed they had webbed feet to help them in the water and they were surprisingly soft to touch. They didn’t like a lot of noise, so using quiet voices and still hands we observed closely. Mrs Preston refilled their water and they loved drinking the fresh water, splashing around and stretching their wings. This was so much fun and a great end to our week!

We would like to say a big big thank you to the boys and girls in Mrs Kane's class as they have been very busy looking after our school grounds.  They noticed lots of weeds along the paths and got to work pulling them out.  Such a difference you have all made, thank you!!

This week we have enjoyed many fun Easter activities starting off with listening to the Easter story. After listening to the story about Jesus dying on the cross and being raised to life again we wondered why eggs were such a big part of Easter, eating them, decorating them and even playing hide and seek with them! Did you know that eggs are a sign of new life? We learned lots about how eggs activities come from church leaders not eating eggs during Holy Week and they needed to do something with all of the eggs at home so they decorated them and distributed them to the children.

In school we enjoyed decorating our eggs and creating fantastic scenes which had been extremely well-planned at home. You will see our pictures below of what we have created! 

The next day we decorated Easter cards to hang around our houses, we made beautiful eggs using paint and used old cardboard tubes to create a bunny. You won’t believe what happened next! As we hung our Easter bunny up to dry by the window we heard a knock, to our surprise it was the Easter bunny waving us outside, so we followed him! He had hid so many eggs around the school and our job was to find the colour he left for our class. What a busy few days it’s been! 

 

Have a lovely Easter everyone, stay safe!

Well done to all of the boys and girls for their hard work making their wonderful egg creations.  They were all fantastic but we had to choose some winners in each class. Samantha and Cherry from the kitchen had the very difficult job of choosing a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class. 

Well done to everyone for taking part.

Happy Easter :)

We have been talking about the signs of Spring and reading books to find out what we need to look out for. Carrie told us all about the daffodils in her garden and we have learned that they grow from a bulb, which the children thought looks a bit like an onion!

Mrs Kane brought daffodils but they didn’t look very nice to begin with. A few days later and after adding some water to the stems they had opened up, a bright yellow colour appeared and a beautiful sweet scent! Brett brought his own sunny daffodil to school, he thought it best to add it to our collection! 

During play we have been busy making spring items, using junk and craft materials the children have made some fantastic pieces. Take a look at what we’ve made so far but do check back for an update soon!

Today at school we had a surprise visit from the ice-cream van. 🍦 This was a special treat for our children as they have been working so hard during their first week back at school. 

The children were chanting “best day ever!” as they received their treat, albeit in the pouring rain! ☔️

Anne and I have had such an enjoyable week with these amazing children! They have had a very strange start to Primary school but we endeavour to make the next term the most enjoyable yet! 😁
