What a wonderful start we have had to the year.  We are so proud of how well the children have started to settle into nursery life. Starting something new can feel like a big step, but the children have shown great curiosity, courage, and resilience as they explore their new environment.

This week, we have focused on:

• Getting to know each other – learning names, sharing about ourselves, and building friendships.
• Exploring our nursery spaces – indoors and outdoors, discovering favourite areas to play, and learning our daily routines.
• Developing independence – practising putting on coats, tidying away toys, and making choices during play.
• Circle times and stories – enjoying songs, rhymes, and picture books together to create a sense of community.

It has been a joy to see the children beginning to feel more confident and comfortable each day. Some are already making strong friendships, while others are doing things at their own pace – both are completely normal at this stage of settling in.

In maths, we have been learning about the colours, red, blue and yellow.  We have made pictures and models using these colours. In RE, we have heard how we are all special and that God made us. We drew ourselves and made potato heads talking about our bodies.
