SAFE, HAPPY, LEARNING, RESPECTFUL
Transition visits have begun for our biggest Holmies who will be heading off to Primary one in August...... We love our visits over to the A block to familiarize ourselves with Primary 1.
Spring has sprung......
.........and planting season has begun!
We've been playing with oranges and limes in nursery and cutting them open. We found the seeds! This gave us an idea to do some planting . . .
Now for some vegetables too. We chose our seeds and have been planting our own vegetables for the summer.
Off to the poly tunnel for more planting.
The polytunnel is also an amazing place to have a story....
it is not just plants that are growing in our garden............
We found something special in the pond last week!
We found some frog spawn in our pond.
Mrs Christie was very careful and scooped some out for us to see.
We brought it into nursery to watch and see what happens.
We are very careful.
Breakfast club kids have come through to see what's happening too.
We took a photo when the tadpoles came out.
And we had a good look.
Lots of tadpole and frog learning.
We're enjoying the tadpoles so much we have made a book about them.
Some great writing.
This week we also realised that the puppets did not have a name label to allow them to check in for lunch.
Having a name is a 'right' that we have talked about in nursery and the children are using their understanding of this by including the puppets in their everyday routines.
all 4 puppets continue to be part of our play.
look at our amazing writing!

Time to chose lunch..........spaghetti Bolognese or veggie sausage roll? Tough decision!
Then it was time for lunch with the puppets, we showed them how nicely we can sit and eat.
Now the weather is beginning to become sunnier (and dare we say it a tad warmer!) We have been taking even more opportunities to get outside.
Here we are doing our 'Reach for the Stars' dance for our Stars of the Week.
What a lovely day for a nice sunny boogie!
On Friday the 21st March of we celebrated World Downs Syndrome Day by 'Rocking Odd Socks'.
We had good conversations about how each one of us are different in our own special way, and we all had a really good understanding of this. Here are all of us with our Odd Socks! See who you can spot....
Woop woop... It's the sound of the police! We have sparked in interest in learning about the emergency services so have started with some role play as police officers and fire fighters! Nursery is a safe place to be with these guys around!
Creating our fire box for all our important equipment.
Crime fighting with the megaphone!
We really look the part now!
We have been learning about all the parts of the uniform, our favourites being the walkie talkies and hats!
Stop in the name of the law!
Lovely sandy fun! We have been exploring the different textures of the sand, both when it is wet and when it is dry. We have also explored the flour and compared the two!
