Winter Term News 2019!

In September we held our annual Forest School Parent training session at Highwoods Country park. It was a great turn out from all three nurseries lots of families came along! The children created mud faces, built dens out of sticks, created forest curtains, whittled sticks using potato peelers, created floor art and even made their very own smores on the camp fire created by Forest School Leader Mikey! The parents loved seeing the variety of things that the children get up to when they attend forest school and enjoyed participating in these activities too. 

In October we celebrated Grandparents Day by inviting all of the children's grandparents into the nursery for tea and cake. The Grandparents all sat together and shared a cup of tea before going to see their Grandchildren in their nursery rooms and spending some time with them and their peers. The children showed great pride showing their Grandparents where they play and the garden area too. 

Halloween was celebrated with our annual competition, lots of pumpkin carving took place and the children created their own designs to carve out pumpkins, taking it in turns to spoon out the insides and explore these using thier hands. They also loved dressing up on the day of the competition, lots of effort was put in by all!
