Once upon a time...

Happy New Year! It has been wonderful to welcome our families back after the Christmas break. Children have been excitedly regrouping with their friends and there has been some wonderful collaboration which has supported children's relationships across the Nursery:
 Children have been using the beautiful castle which arrived at the end of last term. They have explored the resources, used non fiction and story books to develop their understanding and specific vocabulary. Some children have designed and built their own castle using blocks and have told stories about dragons, creating rich illustrations. There have even been some brave Knights and powerful Princesses spotted making swords and galloping around the garden.
Children have also worked with their friends exploring powder paints, mixing colours and creating patterns and different textures. The wonderful images below show just a few of them.
We are looking forward to welcoming some new families to Rachel Keeling next week to begin the next stage of their learning journeys.
