Chick, Chick, Chick, Chick, Chicken...lay a little egg for me!

The children enjoyed interacting with Gail's chickens this week as part of our 'Spring Has Sprung' topic. The theme of 'Animal Babies' was especially highlighted as they actually laid an egg which one of the children got to take home whilst it was still warm!

Breast Cancer Campaign Pink Day

One of our nursery parents is running the London Marathon on Sunday 25th April 2010 on behalf of the Breast Cancer Campaign. This is the only charity that specialises in funding independent breast cancer research throughout the UK. To help give him a head start with fundraising we decided to hold our own 'Wear Pink Day' for children and staff throughout the nursery. We would like to wish him all the very best for Sunday and thank the parents for their generosity.

Bath time for Luca

As part of our topic on 'Growing up', Sonia brought in 7 week old Luca to see the children. She demonstrated bathing, feeding and changing him. Staff members held a big discussion with the children about what babies need.
The visit was so successful your children may come home requesting a brother or a sister!

We'd like to say a big thank you to Sonia for bring Luca into Nursery.

Ping and Pong visited the Nursery

As part of our topic on 'Animal Babies', one of the children at the Queen of Hearts Nursery School brought in their 3 week old lambs to show everyone at nursery. The children loved the opportunity to watch, stroke and feed the lambs.

We would like to say a big thank you to James and his daddy.

If anyone has anything that they would like to bring in and share with the children at the Queen of Hearts Nursery School please contact the office.

Bishop Stopford Community Challenge

Bishop Stopford have set their children a 'Community Challenge' and Praneeth Lagisetty (a former Queen of Hearts Nursery School pupil) decided to carry out his challenge at the Queen of Hearts. Praneeth came up with the idea of Olympic Style games. He addressed the children first to prepare them for the games, informing them of what they will be doing and then split them in to groups. The children started with a race, then the winners from each group took part in bean bag throwing, the 3 winners from that then had an egg and spoon race to find the overall winner.

The children that came 1st, 2nd and 3rd received their own trophy. The children had a lovely time and clearly a lot of time and effort was put in to this, well done Praneeth.

Young Artists Exhibition 3rd April - 17th April 2010

The Queen of Hearts Nursery School were invited to create a display for the Young Artists Exhibition being held at The Alfred East Art Gallery, Sheep Street, Kettering between the dates of 3rd April until 17th April. Nine schools took part and the displays were judged by a panel. We were delighted when it was announced that the Queen of Hearts Nursery School had come in 3rd place.
Our display was based on Spring, the children worked very hard on their pictures as you can see.
