Date: 25th Jan 2024 @ 3:51pm
Wednesday 24th February was Natonal Compliments Day. Today we had an assembly to celebrate the process of complimenting and self complimenting. Some of our children shared their own compliments and we watched a video 'The Reflection in Me' about a girl who listens to what her reflection tells her about herself.

World Nursery Rhyme Week in Nursery
Date: 17th Nov 2023 @ 12:30pm
This week the children have taken part in World Nursery Rhyme Week. The children sang a new nursery rhyme and completed different activities every day. On Monday it was Jack and Jill-the children painted Jack and Jill and later walked up and down the hill with buckets of water. All the children managed to do this without spilling a drop. On Tuesday it was Hickory Dickory Dock -the children sequenced pictures of the rhyme. On Wednesday it was Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes-the children put jigsaws of their bodies back together and drew around each other. On Thursday it was Row, Row, Row Your Boat-the children made big boats from cardboard boxes and rowed down the Mississippi River, trying to avoid the crocodiles. And finally, on Friday it was The Wheels on The Bus-we made a big bus together and went on a trip as we sang the song.

It was great fun.

During Forest School this week the children were developing their observational and navigational skills. Firstly, they had to look around the area to find objects that shouldn't be in the forest area. Then they had to find and follow the arrows to find the treasure. All the children enjoyed finding the gold.

This afternoon author Sean Perkins visited Lyme to share his latest book with us 'Oscar and Ben - The Birthday Party'.
Sean introduced the children to the main characters Oscar and Ben but first they had to wake them up from their sleeping bag. Once the cats Oscar and Ben were awake they sat in our classroom and listened to the story too! Oscar and Ben ventured into the forest to celebrate the birthday of their good friend Mrs Hen.
The story was exciting and entertaining and Sean even added special sound effects. At the end of the session Sean played his guitar and we sang a song about the story.
The children's faces lit up during the story telling session showing us that our children really do share a love of reading. Thank you to Sean for providing our youngest children with such a memorable learning experience.

During Forest School the children were asked to recall the names of the different flowers and trees they'd looked at last week. The nursery children then played a stick game where they had to think of different uses for a stick. They then went on to make a bird's nest and we're pleased to discover chocolate eggs in them when they went back to look at them.
The reception children were tying knots again and had to make a fishing rod using a stick and a small magnet.
