Welcome to Apple Tree Hospital
The children loved our first whole class session of Write Dance. We are working on using large movements to work on the muscles in our shoulders and elbows before we begin to work on our finer movements and holding our pens using the pincer grip.
We work on our gross motor skills using the warm ups on letter join. Today we learnt about Kevin the Kangaroo and Colin the Crab. We had to use our bodies to act like them.
We then sang a fine motor song to move our fingers and warm them up.
We them put up our hand and closed our fist, we counted out 3 fingers starting with the thumb, pointing finger and middle finger, we then used these 3 fingers to 'pinch, pinch, pinch' and grab our pens.
We worked on the pattern round and round.
The children have had such a successful Autumn Term and their transition to Nursery has been very positive. We have really enjoyed getting to know the children and teaching them. We equally hope that they are enjoying their learning in Nursery.
We would like to thank you for your recent kind words and generosity and for your continued support and co-operation throughout this term.
We would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stay safe and healthy!
We are so incredibly proud of the nursery children for the way they performed in their nativity show, with such confidence in acting, beautiful singing and the loveliest behaviour throughout. They truly shone on stage and showed just how much they have grown and learned together.
Today we posted our letters to Father Christmas but we were so lucky we actually got a glimpse of the Jolly Christmas Postman collecting our very important letters.
What a surprise and shock we had an unexpected visitor come to our nursery
We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Today we watched the story come to life on the interactive whiteboard as we tucked up all cosy under some fluffy blankets and enjoyed a yummy hot chocolate.

We couldn't believe it! Today during our morning carpet session we had a surprise visit and guess what.... The Gingerbread Man knocked on our window. He ran around the nursery playground and our school garden but we don't know what happened next. We wondered, did he get eaten by a fox? Did he escape behind the bushes? Where did he go?
