We are reading the story "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen and have had lots of fun bear activites in our provision. The children really engaged with our bear sensory tray amd created some great bear bottles by filling them with coco pops. This was great for their fine motor development as they scooped up coco pops are carefully poured them in to the different size bottles. As the childen filled the bottles we counted how many scoops and used mathmatical langauge including full, empty, bigger and smaller.

There's nothing we like more in nursery than a nice bit of water play!

Date: 9th Jul 2025 @ 11:29am

What an amazing day we had at Sports Day! The sun was shining, and everyone was buzzing with excitement. We kicked things off with a thrilling running race. Everyone cheered as our classmates dashed down the track, some really showing off their speedy legs!

Next up was the silly throwing wellies contest. It was hilarious watching the wellies fly through the air! Some didn't go in the direction they wanted to - ooops! We then got our bean bags ready for throwing into the hoops. A bit tricky at times, but everyone had a go and lots of giggles were had. After that, the standing long jump tested our jumping skills – some of us made impressive leaps!

To keep our energy up, we zoomed through the speed bounce challenge. Finally, we finished with a fast-paced cup stacking race. It was a real nail-biter! A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who came to cheer us on. We had a fabulous day full of fun, laughter, and friendly competition. Can’t wait for next year!
