November

Well, we’re back for a new half term and many children are well settled in and staying all day in the Nursery but some are still very new… we have just admitted the last 5 children so we now have a total of 90 children all exploring and finding out fantastic things in our stimulating and vibrant environment.

Here you are, as promised, a few more pictures to show what the children have been up to in Nursery.

October

The leaves are turning brown and gold and falling from the trees. The weather is getting colder and the nights are drawing in. The world is shutting down for the long winter ahead but in a not so small corner of Birchfields Primary School, some very young, but very brave children are beginning a new life.

Tentativily they entered into the unfamilar room filled with unfamiliar people and strange but interesting toys. Wide-eyed they wandered past the paint and glue covered tables and slowly but surely they BEGAN TO PLAY!

They made friends, they leapt around, they played on noisy instruments, they climbed and danced, ate fruit, listened to stories and sang songs.

THEY WERE THE NEW NURSERY CHILDREN!!!!

They raced on bikes…

Climbed to the very top of the climbing frame….

….and when I can get the computer to work properly you can see what else they did.

STEW

The Harvest

Mrs. Day and the Nursery staff waved a tearful “Goodbye” to the Nursery children as they moved up to reception. But before they went they harvested the vegetables which had been planted in the summer and made a hearty, healthy stew, which was a tasty success. It just goes to show that children WILL EAT VEGETABLES after all!

A carrot!

Chopping the vegetables.

Tasty!

It's good for you!

TURTLES

We have some new pets in Nursery. They are 2 turtles. They have no names yet and Nursery staff can’t wait for the new children to arrive so they can name them and help  find out all about them.
