Nursery have been busy growing, exploring and creating! 🌱
The children planted their own cress heads, learned about the plant life cycle, and practised teamwork, coordination and responsibility as they cared for their seeds. A muddy welly walk helped them spot plants and trees outdoors, sparking curiosity and conversation 👢
The children also explored healthy eating by chopping fruits and vegetables, sorting them, talking about colours and textures, and using them to make brilliant prints. A hands-on week full of learning, independence and discovery!
Year 4 have been getting super creative in their cookery lesson, designing their very own Minnie and Mickey Mouse pizzas 🍕✨
Alongside having fun, cookery lessons help children build confidence, practise teamwork, follow instructions, and develop important life skills like measuring, problem-solving and healthy food choices.
