Nursery News

Our week in nursery has been filled with circles after a wonderful beginning on Monday with Pi Day.  From measuring with our feet to sharing segments of pizza, there were lots of opportunities for mathematical discussion and problem solving – it was fascinating how challenging one idea was; when sharing different sized pizzas, all cut up in the same way. There were still 6 slices, even when the pizza was huge!  We had lots of fun counting, re-counting and trying to prove each other right.  The circular art work reflected the fun, as the children practised their scissor skills when cutting out different sized circles, printing with various wheels and using a range of materials to create mixed media final pieces. 

As we look forward to a week of Easter preparation it is lovely to see signs of Spring all around us in nursery – we have been watching our daffodils grow, the minty herbs are popping up again and we have been finding even bigger worms!  I hope you continue to look around and enjoys the signs of Spring this weekend, remember to stay safe, and we will see you next week.
