Some beautiful tulips are currently looking splendid along the path outside Nursery. We hope they’ll still be in bloom next week for you to enjoy! Here are some photos for you, just in case! We hope you enjoy the remainder of the holidays. 🐣

Proud of @minsterinfants.bsky.social after Ofsted this week. Staff spoke with such warmth and purpose — and the inspector saw what we already know: a place of care, love, and real professionalism. A hopeful end to a big term. "Let all that you do be done in love."

This activity, based on Chicken Licken, has been an incredibly effective way of introducing our Nursery children to taking away and the associated language. Can you work out what happens? 😂 🐥🐓🦊 #earlymaths #eyfs #earlymaths

What a wonderful rendition of a section from 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by two of our #Nursery children. They were able to retell the entire story in this way using action, rhythm and accurate descriptive language! 😍👏 @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social #eyfs #earlyyears #edusky

Following reading #TownMouseAndCountryMouse our #nursery children have been constructing their own town! It's expanding so fast it's almost a city. It now includes Saffron Tower (a #Croydon skyscraper) & even a swimming pool & cinema! Today #Sonic3 is on the big screen. 😍😆 #eyfs #earlyyears #edusky

Last Friday we celebrated #InternationalWomensDay in school and found out why it is important to do this. Here is some 'pupil voice' gathered by Year 2 staff. We're so impressed with what the children remembered and took away from the day. #InspirationalWomen #GenderEquality

Eric Carle’s ‘Brown Bear’ series is such a powerful tool in helping young children acquire vocabulary and language. Here’s a new to English #Nursery child reciting all of the animals in ‘Polar Bear Polar Bear’ during continuous provision. 👏 #earlyyears #eyfs #vocabulary #EAL #eytagteam

Does your little one want to hear the same book over and over and over again? The repetition can be a little maddening for us as parents, but for children it’s actually very beneficial. (Thread 🧵)

As part of our learning about The Three Little Pigs, #Nursery found out that bricks are made from clay. They were given some clay to feel and explore and discovered that playdough was much softer. They persevered to manipulate the clay and made jellyfish, Ninja stars and flowers! #eyfs #earlyyears

The #ThreeLittlePigs has really inspired #Nursery with construction. We now have doors and windows, plus some fun additions such as indoor slides 😆 The children love talking about their models and who lives in them. Can you spot the 3 Little Pigs and the 'Big Bad Lion'? #eyfs #earlyyears

Today our Nursery children built up a group imaginative adventure. Their magical car visited jungles, beaches and parks. They heard lions roaring & saw the Big Bad Wolf out of the window! Lots of gummy bears and ice cream was eaten. Then our resident squirrel interrupted with his acrobatics! #eyfs

The #Nursery children are continuing to use their senses to explore the world around them. This week we have been concentrating on the sense of touch and we are starting to hear some of the taught vocabulary in their language eg hard/soft, rough/smooth! #eyfs #earlyyears #primaryed

The #Nursery children have been learning so much outside in the lovely Winter sunshine! They found out their shadows disappear when the sun goes in. A chalk was accidentally dropped in some water & they watched it sink then fizz. They then discovered they could paint with chalk! #eyfs #earlyyears

In Art, Year 1 children created a piece of pointillism artwork - first on the computer, and then using paints. When finished, the children reflected on their work and experience and talked about which method they preferred and why. #primaryed #education #edusky #art #digitalart
