Term 5 Week 2
This week in Nursery celebrated Diversity Day, as part of the celebrations we read Faces; My Body, Your Body looking at how we are the same and different and dressed up to represent our cultural heritage. Linked to our enquiry What is Healthy? We were Authors reading Handa's Surprise and enjoyed retelling the story with props and tasting fruits from the story. We have also developed our artistic skills by string painting and marble painting to create animals from the story.

Happy New Year! We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday and welcome back to Nursery.

Our enquiry this term is, I wonder what print is! So far we have focused on the stories, The Stickman, Dear Zoo and Dear Santa. The children have also been looking at print in the environment, logos and each others names.

After the Christmas holidays we will be continuing our enquiry, I wonder what print is! Starting with a focus on the story, We're going on a bear hunt.
