The Chronicle

Hello everyone! We’ve had a wonderful week in nursery, full of wet wellies, digging for worms, spotting ‘leopard slugs’ in the woods and some soapy handwashing afterwards!  I am so proud of our little ones, not only have they managed the new routines so well, but they are supremely confident and competent hand washers!  To add to the fun we’ve had outside we have also been getting in touch with some fairly slippery snails inside.  Basing our work on the real things, as well as ‘The Snail’ by Henri Matisse, the children have been reinforcing their anti-clockwise drawing skills with Miss Nicola to create large spirals.  Then they used scissors, glue and paper to make their own snail pictures.

We know that many of you are missing seeing our lovely learning environment at the moment, so please look out for our ‘Spotlight on Little Crackers’ on the school’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, where we will be showing pictures of our various activities and adventures, as well as some of the lovely work we have up on display. 

Many things have changed in this current time, but our children are just as creative as ever – we will try and make sure everyone gets to have a starring role in the photos over the coming year, so see who you can spot!

This week the spotlight is on reading here at Little Crackers Nursery…

We have been following the latest Government Guidance and are ‘cosy without cushions’ in our Little Crackers Reading Corner.

The soft light from the bubble tube makes it a welcoming space where our children can share books with friends, give life to the characters, retell favourite tales and begin their own learning adventure. Dr Seuss told us… “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Reading is a window on the world, and especially at the moment, when travelling is difficult, we like to see just how far you can go in a book!

We’re all crackers about reading here at Little Crackers Nursery.
