Hello to everyone at Maesybryn Nursery!

What an exciting half term we have had!  Our children have settled into school life and are taking all the new experiences in their stride. 

We have learnt all about colour this half term.  We enjoyed our Elmer story books and all helped to make our fabulous Elmer which takes pride of place in our cloakroom.  I'm sure you have all seen him!

We have been visiting the forest for Forest school activities and have loved making woodland crowns and autumn perfume!

Reading the Owl Babies story led to us producing story leaves and mark making our own owls.  We have been practising our scissor skills cutting out our owl babies and experiencing lots of different textures when collaging their feathers.

We have designed and made lots of interesting models in our construction zone and used lots of the junk you have brought to school.  Thomas made a super rocket which is now flying from our ceiling!

Make sure everyone has a good rest over the holiday because next term will be very busy indeed.  Mrs Burton-Little is already writing our Christmas Nativity play!

Don't forget to wear joggers on a Friday as we are now up and running with PE sessions.  Today we played with the parachute!

After half term we will be encouraging our children to be independent when entering nursery in the morning.  Try to say goodbye at the door and let your child hang up their coats and bags themselves.  You will be surprised at how grown up they are!

Enjoy the holiday!

The nursery children did a fabulous job last week participating in our charity bike riding. All tried their very best to cycle around the junior playground and managed over 170 laps. Well done Class 14 and 15!
Our topic this term, 'Inside out/Outside In' is now in full swing and we will be spending the next couple of weeks exploring the world of minibeasts! We will be going on minibeast hunts in the garden and using information books to find out lots of creepy crawly facts!
We also now have tadpoles in the classroom and the children are thoroughly enjoying visiting the investigation table to check on their progress!
