We have been raising money for Agape and Grayson, the two children that we sponsor at the East Meru Community School in Tanzania. Family and friends were invited to sponsor the Nursery children to explore the school grounds in search of five different spring related items . . . A couple of the items were a little tricky to find, but with good teamwork and great looking skills, they were all found in the end! We would like to say a huge 'THANK YOU' for the incredibly kind and generous donations which amounted to an amazing £168.50 which is absolutely fantastic and very much appreciated. Thank you so much to everyone that contributed.

We have been reading 'Wibbly Pig has 10 Balloons' - another great book written by Mick Inkpen Afterwards we told each other what we enjoyed about this lovely story . . . Jess - "I liked the balloon, the teddy bear . . . because I liked it's face! I liked the little pig, I liked it's scarf and it's hat" Alessia - "I loved Wibbly Pig cause the balloon was floating, the teddy balloon was floating away and they was going to pop!" Bootsy - "The balloon, I like it . . . the love heart balloon, I like the colours" Evelyn - "I liked the balloon . . . yellow balloon" Sofia - "I liked the bear balloon cause I like bears" Ayla - "I liked the bear balloon cause it's so very nice!" Stanley - "My favourite part was the balloons, a bear balloon because it floated" Megan - "I liked the balloon, the heart balloon . . . that one was great!" Bella - "I love the little pig cause he had, because he cuddled Wibbly Pig and he had a heart balloon and then it popped and he's sad" Which character or balloon would have been your favourite? This week we invited our Mums and Nans to join us for a special Assembly where we shared the portraits we had created and told everyone why we love our mummy so much. We also made a lovely card to give to them along with some pretty daffodils. What will you be doing to celebrate on Sunday?
We hope that you will be able to take some time to relax, unwind and spend time with your loved ones - enjoy your special day! We have been finding out about the Hindu festival of Holi. This is a celebration of the arrival of spring flowers and when the main crops are almost ready for the spring harvest. The festival usually lasts anything from three to five days and is known as the festival of colour. Part of the festivities include throwing coloured powder over friends and family! After watching some video clips, we had a go at some Bollywood style dancing and the children also had the opportunity to contribute to our collaborative spring display where they had great fun 'splatter painting' the grass and flowers! Let's hope that we have some lovely warm sunshine as we enjoy the beautiful spring flowers - Happy Holi everyone! We have been thinking about what makes us feel happy and have created some collaborative 'Happiness Art' inspired by Spring flowers! One of them will be given to the residents and staff at Lymehurst Rest Home and the other will be displayed in the Nursery. We hope that they make you feel happy when you look at them! To celebrate World Book Day the children were each given a special book token to use for a new book, we brought them in to share . . . And then designed lovely book marks to use in them! Perhaps you could design your own book mark - what would you put on the front? We went for a walk to have a look at some of the lovely daffodils that are growing in our school grounds Here are just a few of the comments made by some of the children: Parker - "They were good, they were all everywhere!" Bootsy - "They're like the sunshine!" Amelia - "They look lovely!" Jess - "I liked them because they're pretty" Bella - "They're growing together" "They're like stars, they're the same shape" Have you got any daffodils growing in your garden? Which other spring flowers do you like? |
