This Week’s Learning in Nursery

This week in Nursery, we continued our farm-themed learning with the story What the Ladybird Heard. We helped the two thieves recall their “cunning plan” to steal the fine prize cow and had fun rehearsing the rhymes with Makaton actions.

The children got hands-on with farm life by trying their hand at “milking a cow” in our garden provision. They also created lovely ladybird crafts using paper plates, card, paint, glue and other materials.

In maths, we explored the concept of weight, comparing light and heavy objects and using scales to measure them.

A highlight of the week was our bridge-building challenge, inspired by The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Using paper and other materials, the children designed and built safe, sturdy bridges to help the goats cross. This tied in perfectly with our participation in an online event for British Science Week 2025, where we learned more about constructing solid and safe bridges.

It’s been a fantastic week of learning and discovery!
