We have had a very egg-citing week in Nursery! We were very lucky to have some living eggs delivered. We made predictions about what might hatch out of the eggs and some of us were right! We have been keeping a close eye on the eggs all week, being sure to keep them safe and warm. We know that the eggs have to be kept warm in a special incubator until they are ready to fully hatch.
The first duckling hatched on pancake day so we have named them Pancake! We will keep you updated about any further hatchings next week.
This week we also celebrated Shrove Tuesday. We learned that this is an important day before lent starts as the lead up to the Christian festival of Easter. We had enormous fun making our very own pancakes in Nursery and enjoyed eating them too!
St David’s Day
Last Friday, we were very lucky to have a visit from Mr Powell who talked to us about St David’s Day and how it is celebrated. We found out that girls wear traditional Welsh costumes to school and boys wear Welsh rugby shirts. Mr Powell also brought in some daffodils, the Welsh flag and some Welsh cakes to show us.
World Book Day
Today we celebrated World Book day and it was lovely to have so many grown ups sharing books with us!
This morning we went to our first whole school assembly and we sat so sensibly while the teachers read a story to us. It was called ‘Here We Are’ and it is written by Oliver Jeffers. During the day, we have been doing different activities about the book, including puzzles, pictures and water play! We even had a chance to play in our pyjamas on the playground!
How you can help at home:
Have a look at some other books by the author Oliver Jeffers such as How to Catch a Star, Lost and Found or What we Build. Try to make some predictions about what the story might be about before reading the story and discuss what they liked about the story after you have read the story together.
