It's show time!

Well, the Tuesday concert has been and gone and well done to all the children that took part. The performance was fantastic and the children all did us proud. We are now looking forward to the Thursday performance, which is taking place in the morning, so if your child is in this performance we look forward to seeing you there. Photo's are to follow soon!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! (well orange juice really)

Just a quick reminder to all of you on the older side of the nursery to remember your pirate costumes on Friday 2nd July for our 'Pirate Party'. So dig out your eye patches, wooden legs, parrots and treasure and join us for a Jolly Roger time!

Jamie Oliver Who?

For our recent topic on colour the children on the younger side of the nursery enjoyed making rainbow cakes.


One of the children was so excited they brought in their own chef's outfit and had their photograph taken with our big chef rob!




We used the children's home corner as the scene for the cooking experience and the children loved their imaginative kitchen coming to life. The children enjoyed exploring the cooking equipment including the weighing scales.


The children were intrigued by the changes to the ingredients as we mixed them together.

We divided the mixture up and added a different colour to each bowl. We then put a bit of each colour into every cake case to add the rainbow element to our cakes.
We put our cakes into the oven, and voila here's some we made earlier!
